For years, NASA has monitored a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the ...

A strange phenomenon thought to only exist near the Sun has been detected in Earth's magnetic field for the first time.

Indeed, could one kink in Earth’s magnetic field rewrite how scientists understand space weather? The recent detection of a ...

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, but new satellite data shows otherwise.

NASA detects first “magnetic switchback” near Earth: an energetic change in your space shield that reveals new solar risks.

A weak spot in Earth’s protective magnetic field is growing larger and exposing orbiting satellites and astronauts to more ...

Geologists discovered ancient rocks in Greenland that preserve the oldest known traces of Earth’s early magnetic field.

A group of Dimetrodon's hunting in a Permian era environment. The strength of Earth’s magnetic field seems to rise and fall hand-in-hand with the abundance of oxygen in its atmosphere, a study of ...

Scientists have known for decades that many animals use the Earth's magnetic field for navigation. It's less clear how they do it. A new study suggests earthworms may be a good way to figure it ...
