The James Webb Space Telescope has successfully detected auroras on Neptune for the first time ever, finishing a job that ...

Magnetic pole shifts, a subject shrouded in both fascination and fear, refer to the movement of Earth's magnetic north and south poles. Unlike the geographic poles, which are fixed, magnetic poles ...

Earth’s magnetic north pole has been shifting gradually for centuries due to the movement of molten metals in the planet’s outer core. In the 1990s, magnetic north began to experience an ...

Auroras are possible over the U.S. tonight (March 25) as a "moderate" geomagnetic storm hits Earth. UPDATE: The Northern ...

A cosmic enigma, ASKAP J1839-0756, a slow-spinning neutron star discovered using the ASKAP radio telescope, is challenging ...

Experts warn that "something" in the core of the Earth is causing the magnetic pole to shift. North Pole is shifting toward Siberia and raising concern ...

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 ...

Earth’s magnetic poles are constantly on the move, but they haven’t drifted far enough to actually flip in the modern age. Researchers know that Earth’s poles have flipped in the past ...

The magnetic north pole is not in the same location as the geographic north pole, which is located 1,300 miles away.

Without the effects caused by the spinning Earth, the magnetic fields generated within the liquid core would cancel one another out and result in no distinct north or south magnetic poles.

But it’s more important than you might think. The Earth acts like a giant bar magnet, with a magnetic north and south pole. Confusingly, these are not in the same place as the geographic north ...
