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

NASA's Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) mission, a collaborative effort led ...

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

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

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 ...

Recent shifts in Earth's magnetic field have human fingerprints all over them. While it is normal for our planet's magnetic ...

Our first meeting was a bit awkward. One of us is an archaeologist who studies how past peoples interacted with their ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, ...

“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.

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!
