The magnetosphere, formed by Earth's magnetic field, acts as a protective shield that deflects solar wind—the flow of charged ...

Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar ...

TRACERS will launch for a low-Earth orbit of 367 miles (590 kilometers) on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket alongside three additional NASA missions. These include the Athena EPIC (Economical Payload ...

Boldly etched into the flow of solidifying lava across Earth, the Matuyama-Brunhes event is used by geologists as a marker of ...

Geological data of the processes shifting magnetic poles within the planet for a large epoch in history was sonified into an ...

The well-known sources of the magnetic field that surrounds Earth are the deep inside core and Earth's crust. Earth's mantle, on the other hand, has been considered to be 'magnetically dead' for ...

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 million years ago,” the authors wrote. “Our findings suggest unexpected strong ...

Earth's magnetic field, which protects the planet from huge blasts of deadly solar radiation, has been weakening over the past six months, according to data collected by a European Space Agency ...

Earth's magnetic field is generated in the liquid outer core by a dynamo process that converts the motion of electrically conductive fluid into electromagnetic energy.

Recent observations of Jupiter's powerful magnetic field by NASA's Juno spacecraft have uncovered a never-before-documented ...

The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as we know it. But it’s something we can never see – or hear, until now. In a recent study released on Oct. 10 by the European Space Agency, ...

Researchers have studied Earth’s most recent magnetic field reversal and found that it can take more than 22,000 years to complete. Skip to content Introducing the all-new Astronomy.com Forum!
