Ancient Homo sapiens may have benefited from sunscreen, tailored clothes and the use of caves during the shifting of the magnetic North Pole over Europe about 41,000 years ago, new University of ...

Earth’s magnetic field protects the planet from space weather like cosmic radiation and charged particles from the Sun. The southern Atlantic anomaly shrinks that protective bubble, but not so much ...

More than a decade of satellite monitoring has mapped Earth’s magnetic field as it subtly altered between 2014 and 2025 — and ...

Recent shifts in Earth's magnetic field have human fingerprints all over them. While it is normal for our planet's magnetic poles to sporadically wander, new research shows we've now amassed enough ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes that ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Earth's north magnetic pole is drifting from North America at such a clip that it could end up in Siberia in the next 50 years, scientists said Thursday. Despite accelerated movement ...

A giant dent in Earth's magnetic field is continuing to expand, according to the latest data from a trio of satellites monitoring our world.

The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is a particularly weak region of Earth’s magnetic field that can cause satellites to ...

This expanding anomaly exposes satellites passing over the region to heightened cosmic radiation and charged solar particles, ...

The magnetic north pole just isn’t where it used to be. Ever since the British polar explorer James Clark Ross first identified it on the Boothia Peninsula in Canada’s Nunavut territory in 1831, ...
