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.

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 ...

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

While the magnetic north pole is on the move, the south magnetic pole is comparatively static. It’s moving northward, but at only about five to 10 kilometers per year, with hardly any movement ...

"The current behavior of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before." For decades, scientists have been tracking the shift in Earth's magnetic north pole away from Canada and ...

in which the planet’s north and south magnetic poles swap places. While such an event is not expected to happen any time soon, they have occurred periodically throughout Earth’s history—the ...

The accuracy of coordinates is crucial for the navigation of aircraft, ships and GPS devices - How is the magnetic field of ...
