Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

While the geographical North Pole stays fixed in place (at the very summit of the Earth's rotational axis), the WMM pinpoints ...

In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet’s ...

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

Scientists have monitored the magnetic north pole for centuries. The World Magnetic Model (WMM) predicts its future position.

Earth’s magnetic field, generated by movements within its molten iron core, serves as a protective shield against solar winds ...
