Our rating: False. Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that a compass wouldn't work if Earth is spherical. Compasses orient themselves to the Earth's magnetic field lines.

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

A close-in exoplanet is triggering stellar flares and self-destructing. This is the first direct evidence of planet-star ...

The updated version of the World Magnetic Model was released on Dec. 17, with a new prediction of how the magnetic north pole will shift over the next five years. Here's why it was changed.

Earth's magnetic field lines travel in continuous closed loops. (Image credit: VectorMine via Getty Images) And just to make things that little more confusing, what we call the North Magnetic Pole ...

Magnetic viewing films are pretty neat things to play with anyway, and can even be used to read hidden messages. Continue reading “Magnet Clock Makes Field Lines Visible” → ...

In the simplest scenario, the magnetic field looks similar to that of the Earth. Gas from the inner rim of the disk would be funneled to the magnetic North and to the magnetic South pole of the ...

The field lines thus become visible along the line over a distance of eight centimeters and can be monitored and recorded. The actual 3D sensor measures no more than 0.1 x 0.1 mm 2 in size.

The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as we know it. But it’s something we can never see – or hear, until now. In a recent study released on Oct. 10 by the European Space Agency ...

Modest changes in magnetic fields around fault zones preceded major earthquakes in California, study finds. Changes in magnetic fields fault lines may give faint signal prior to California ...
