The magnetic field is not something that is static. The Earth’s magnetosphere is being altered by the solar wind coming from the Sun. During periods of high activity, like now, it is squished ...

Magnetic North is moving so quickly now, it prompted scientists to issue an unplanned, early update to the model we use to accurate navigate the world.

Some researchers suggest that it could be the start of a geomagnetic reversal, when the strength of the Earth's magnetic field decreases and then returns a few thousand years later with the north and ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...

British explorer Sir James Clark Ross discovered the magnetic north pole in 1831 in northern Canada, approximately 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) south of the true North Pole.

The Magnetic North Pole, for example, is currently moving towards Russia at a speed of about 45km per year. That’s down from the 55km per year observed in 2007. Positions of the Earth’s ...
