paleomagnetic records show that the intensity drops by up to 90 percent in the process of pole-switching. We should all feel grateful that we live in a time of magnetic stability, because the field ...

Although at Earth's core, the magnetic field is oriented with magnetic north at the geographic south pole, at the surface and out in space, the field is technically oriented opposite to that ...

The south point of the CQmpass always turns toward this point. Therefore, between the South Magnetic Pole and the South Geographic Pole the south point of the compass is directed due north.

The researchers generated mismatched magnetic fields by combining the inclination from one geographic location with the intensity from another, swapping the values throughout the trials.

Based on the most up-to-date models, the Magnetic North Pole (MNP) is continuing on its trajectory towards Russia. Not to be confused with the Geographic North Pole, sometimes called “True North ...

The northern lights are best seen between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time, according to NOAA, which recommends traveling to a high vantage point away from light pollution. If conditions are optimal, ...

Scientists have released a new model tracking the position of the magnetic north pole, revealing that the pole is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago and is continuing to drift toward ...
