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

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

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European Space ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped a little more than 40,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European ...

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

Scientists studying Earth's magnetic field have discovered that its electric heartbeat flows in the opposite direction from ...

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

More than a decade of satellite monitoring has mapped Earth’s magnetic field as it subtly altered between 2014 and 2025 — and what scientists have learned is remarkable. The South Atlantic Anomaly, a ...

Multiple lines of evidence suggest that pigeons sense magnetic fields by detecting electric currents in their inner ears.

Though it generated beautiful auroras around the world, the Gannon solar storm in 2024 was also a little dangerous.

A growing weak spot in the magnetic field surrounding the Earth could lead to satellite malfunction and even cause them to undergo full blackouts, scientists warned in a new study. The Earth’s complex ...

Scientists have discovered that a 'weak spot' in Earth's magnetic field is growing at an alarming rate. Known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), the region has expanded by an area nearly twice the ...
