Several studies have predicted that not all geomagnetic reversals have been discovered, but it was unknown in which periods they might be hidden. Researchers led by the National Institute of Polar ...

Earth’s magnetic field, the invisible barrier that deflects solar radiation and makes surface life possible, is not permanent in its current orientation. Geologic records show that magnetic north and ...

Researchers have identified a period of sluggish magnetic field flipping for planet Earth, some 40 million years ago – ...

The geomagnetic field, generated by the convecting motions of Earth’s liquid outer core, is a fundamental facet of our planet’s evolution. Its long‐term behaviour is recorded in rocks through the ...

A solar storm is a catchall term that describes any disturbance in the sun that involves the violent ejection of solar material into space. This can come in the form of coronal mass ejections, where ...

The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

Geomagnetic storms are capable of sparking beautiful displays of the Northern Lights across our night sky. However, there is a potential danger behind that beauty, especially now, with solar activity ...

Observations by ISRO's Aditya L1 mission has helped scientists explain geomagnetic disturbances at dawn during severe space weather events. The observations were conducted during the solar storms of ...

Desert ants can sense the North-South direction of the magnetic field to determine the direction of their nest entrance during so called learning walks. How exactly magnetoreception works in animals, ...

In the midst of farmers busily planting in the field, a strong geomagnetic storm (G3) watch has been issued for April 16. The Space Weather Prediction Center says geomagnetic storming conditions are ...
