As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

Our phones have already adapted to the latest shift in the Earth's magnetic pole position, as it appears to be continually ...

The sun’s magnetic poles are about to flip ... So, while the Earth’s last reversal happened around 780,000 years ago, the sun ...

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

Earth's magnetic poles are shifting unpredictably, with rapid drifts and weakening fields raising questions about a possible future reversal and its global effects.

The magnetic pole was last visited in person in 2007 by a Canadian ... but scientists say there’s no evidence that any pole reversal is imminent – plus, it would take place over hundreds ...

The phenomenon "may be linked to the Earth's history of magnetic pole reversals, which have occurred nearly 200 times over the past 100 million years," said Earth.com. Understanding pole shifting ...

The magnetic pole was last visited in person in 2007 by a Canadian ... but scientists say there’s no evidence that any pole reversal is imminent — plus, it would take place over hundreds ...

This is called Hale's law. "The magnetic field from active regions makes its way toward the poles and eventually causes the reversal," solar physicist Todd Hoeksema, director of the Wilcox Solar ...
