The solar wind is composed mostly of protons and electrons. Its associated electric and magnetic fields move outward from the Sun along with it. Irregular disturbances on the sun cause bursts of the ...

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.

Consequently, by judging the modulation frequency corresponding to the maximum deflection angle, the magnitude of the external magnetic field can be measured [47]. The geomagnetic field serves as the ...

Getting lost indoors can be frustrating. Finding your way isn't always easy whether you’re in a sprawling hospital, a busy airport, or a massive mall. Visitors often wander around instead of getting ...

Scientists released an update to a model that maps the ever-moving pole and has significant implications for navigation ...

Solar material is gusting out of the dark patch in the Sun's corona towards Earth at more than a million miles per hour.

Discover how birds, animals, and possibly humans detect and use Earth's magnetic field for navigation, hunting, and survival.

"The current behaviour of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before," says global geomagnetic field ...

The aurora borealis is back and is expected to be visible in more than 10 states. See which states will have the best views.

The recent geomagnetic storm watch NOAA issued is rated as a G1. Auroras occur when solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetic field. The charged particles from the sun collide with gases in the ...
