More than a decade of satellite monitoring has mapped Earth’s magnetic field as it subtly altered between 2014 and 2025 — and what scientists have learned is remarkable. The South Atlantic Anomaly, a ...

The Earth's magnetic north pole has been slowly inching its way across the Arctic for decades, but recently, its path has ...

Earth’s magnetic north pole has shifted toward Russia, prompting updates to GPS and navigation systems worldwide. Scientists track this invisible movement to keep technology accurate.

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven ...

When will the pole shift happen? Researchers say it's definitely a matter of when and not if. The poles have shifted in the past and will likely do so again. When the pole shift occurs, it will happen ...

Recent shifts in Earth's magnetic field have human fingerprints all over them. While it is normal for our planet's magnetic poles to sporadically wander, new research shows we've now amassed enough ...

The planet's magnetic North Pole, where compasses point, has been unexpectedly moving toward Russia. While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it was ...

The Earth’s magnetic field plays a big role in protecting people from hazardous radiation and geomagnetic activity that could affect satellite communication and the operation of power grids. And it ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...
