Latest about Earth's magnetic field
Earth's magnetic field is weakening — magnetic crystals from lost civilizations could hold the key to understanding why
Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar approach elsewhere help us unravel the mysteries of Earth's magnetic field?
Scientists discover strong, unexpected link between Earth's magnetic field and oxygen levels
Earth's magnetic field and oxygen levels have increased more or less in parallel over the past 540 million years, suggesting the two factors are linked in some way, researchers say.
Magnetic signals from Earth's tides revealed in unprecedented detail
Scientists have captured faint magnetic signatures resulting from the tidal movement of seawater across the planet — and they might have to wait until 2030 to get another shot at it.
Weird dent in Earth's magnetic field is messing with auroras in the Southern Hemisphere
The South Atlantic Anomaly makes a section of the southern aurora weaker and likely dimmer.
Solar storm smashes hole in Earth's magnetosphere, triggering extremely rare pink auroras
On Nov. 3, a solar storm caused a temporary crack in Earth's magnetic field. The resulting hole enabled energetic particles to penetrate deep into the planet's atmosphere and set off extremely rare pink auroras.
Solar Storms Might Be Causing Gray Whales to Get Lost
Strandings of healthy gray whales increase with the prevalence of solar storms.
