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 ...

With the right preparations and technological solutions in place, aviation would continue to operate safely, even during a ...

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.

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 ...

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

This flips the magnetic north and south poles, and the change can last for tens of thousands ... While life on Earth has weathered multiple magnetic reversals over more than 100 million years ...
