Earth's Flipping Magnetic Field Heard as a Sound Is an Unnerving Horror

As the iron and nickel inside our planet shift, so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also constantly on the move. Recently, the position of the magnetic North Pole was officially changed, as it continues its shift away from Canada and towards Siberia.

A Mysterious Weak Spot in Earth’s Magnetic Field Has Grown Nearly Half the Size of Europe

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven by dynamic processes deep within the planet’s core. Drawing on 11 years of magnetic field data collected by the European Space Agency’s Swarm satellite constellation,

Sun unleashes powerful X-flare, CME hits Earth sparking severe geomagnetic storm

The sun sure has woken up this week, unleashing a powerful X-class solar flare on Jan. 18 that hurled a colossal, fast-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) directly toward Earth. That CME has now arrived, triggering severe (G4) geomagnetic storm conditions far earlier than initially forecast.

Stunning skies as Northern Lights seen in the UK

Skies across the UK were lit up in hues of green and pink by the Northern Lights on Monday evening. The natural phenomenon - known as the Aurora Borealis - is the result of solar eruptions sending particles towards the Earth and interacting with particles in the atmosphere.
