The sun’s magnetic poles are about to flip, and it could cause lower latitude northern lights, more intense solar storms and potential danger for astronauts and satellite communication. However, ...

The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. This phenomenon happens roughly every 11 years and marks an important stage in the solar cycle. The shift in polarity ...

The emergence of a mysterious area in the South Atlantic where the geomagnetic field strength is decreasing rapidly, has led to speculation that Earth is heading towards a magnetic polarity reversal.

Earth’s magnetic field is quietly, steadily changing, and the shift is no longer just an abstract concern for geophysicists. As the protective shield that deflects charged particles from the Sun ...

A rare geological event occurs every 300,000 years or so: the Earth’s magnetic poles flip. The magnetic poles are the two ends of the magnetosphere, which surrounds the Earth like a giant, invisible ...

You might be scared if you heard Earth’s North Pole and South Pole were about to flip positions. The sun is about to do the same thing, and it’s not a worry for us. The sun is a big magnetic ball of ...

Space is full of radiation. So much radiation, in fact, that the only thing standing between us and our planet being bathed in radioactive energy from the Sun is the Earth's magnetic field. And this ...

By comparison, the magnetic north pole is the northernmost convergence point in Earth’s magnetic field, also known as the magnetosphere. Generated by the churning molten metals in Earth’s core, the ...

When the sun reaches its period of peak activity, known as solar maximum, our star's magentic field will suddenly reverse. But why does it happen, and will it impact Earth? When you purchase through ...
