Earth’s magnetic field has been acting restless, with the north magnetic pole racing across the Arctic and the field itself weakening in some regions. Those shifts have fueled viral claims that a ...

Earth’s magnetic north pole has shifted toward Russia, prompting updates to GPS and navigation systems worldwide. Scientists track this invisible movement to keep technology accurate.

There is wide consensus among climate scientists that the Earth is warming and that humans directly contributed to this change by burning fossil fuels. Pole reversals have occurred several times in ...

The planet's magnetic North Pole, where compasses point, has been unexpectedly moving toward Russia. While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it was ...

Evidence suggests that the planet may be in the opening strains of a geomagnetic chicken dance, the likes of which we haven't seen for almost a million years. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) ...

Unlike its geographical poles, Earth's magnetic poles that serve as the foundation of our navigation are actively moving. The north magnetic pole has been slowly moving across the Canadian Arctic ...

The poles of the sun’s magnetic field are fading away. But don’t panic: it’s all part of our host star’s usual 11-year cycle of activity. Over the past couple of years, solar activity—as measured by ...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The strength of the Earth's magnetic field has decreased 10 percent over the past 150 years, raising the remote possibility that it may collapse and later reverse, flipping the ...
