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.
As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...
Earth's magnetic poles are shifting unpredictably, with rapid drifts and weakening fields raising questions about a possible future reversal and its global effects.
Over the past few decades, magnetic north’s movement has been ... of approximately 2,051 miles (3,300 kilometers) at the equator, and the first high-resolution model, with spatial resolution ...
