Unlike the earth’s magnetic field, which reverses polarity over tens of millennia, the Sun’s does so every 11 years. Astrophysicists have now discovered an unusual pattern in the reversal of solar ...

As the iron and nickel inside our planet shift, so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also ...

An interesting discovery about the Earth in the past years shows that the magnetic poles have flipped 183 times in the last 83 million years. Currently, there are rapid changes to our planet's ...

The North and South magnetic poles swap places every 300,000 years, in a process that takes as much as 5,000 years. But evidence from an ancient lava flow suggests the poles were once moving 53 ...

June 8 (UPI) --A South Atlantic rapid geomagnetic field decrease known as the South Atlantic Anomaly led to speculation that Earth's magnetic polarity was reversing. But a new study, published this ...

The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The sun is on the verge of a ...

Arlington, Va.--Earth's magnetic field reverses every few thousand years at low latitudes and every 10,000 years at high latitudes, a geologist funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) has ...

Geomagnetic polarity reversals and excursions in the Quaternary correlate well with interglacial-to-glacial transitions and glacial maxima. It is suggested that this relationship results from ...

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 last reversal of Earth's magnetic field took far longer than was previously thought, scientists have discovered. By analyzing ancient volcanic rocks, researchers found the Matuyama-Brunhes ...

The SoundClips series continues with a submission from listener Dave Engebretson. Engebretson has been legally blind all of his life, so he pays special attention to sound. He submits audio that is ...
