while the magnetic poles wandered far from their usual locations. For about 300 years, the magnetic field tilted and weakened rapidly, behaving more like the multipolar magnetic fields of outer ...

The study, published in Science Advances, examines a dramatic event known as the Laschamps excursion. During this event, Earth’s magnetic poles temporarily shifted, and the magnetic field dropped to ...

This incident about 41,000 years ago was a geomagnetic “excursion,” which is where the Earth’s magnetic poles move around. While the North and South poles didn’t completely flip ...
