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

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

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

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 ...

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

In 2024, researchers transformed readings of an epic upheaval of Earth's magnetic field flipping 41,000 years ago into an eerie, auditory experience. Now a team containing some of those same ...

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 ...

Loggerhead turtles are able to sense Earth's magnetic field in two ways, but it wasn't clear which sense the animals use to ...

Space is full of radiation. So much radiation, in fact, that the only thing standing between us and our planet being bathed in radioactive energy from the Sun is the Earth's magnetic field. And this ...

A newly discovered, faint radio emission, the Hectometric Continuum, emerges only after sunset and pulses through Earth's ...
