A study using the Very Large Array radio telescope may have discovered a magnetic field on exoplanet YZ Ceti b. Magnetic fields protect planets from energetic particles that can strip away atmospheres ...

Chorus waves are mysterious, chirping signals produced by spiraling plasma inside our planet's magnetic field. But a new detection suggests scientists may understand less about them than first thought ...

The Sun is preparing for a major event: the reversal of its magnetic field. This phenomenon marks a turning point in the ...

It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes, as the position of the magnetic North Pole is officially ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while ...

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps ...

A solar explosion called a coronal mass ejection is poised to graze Earth on Friday or Saturday (Jan. 24 or Jan. 25), potentially triggering colorful auroras over the northern U.S.

Scientists in Britain have been keeping an eye on where the Earth's magnetic north pole is. It's not fixed like the geographical North Pole; instead, it's like a wandering star. Recently, they found ...

Swarm satellites detect faint ocean magnetic signals, revealing magma distribution and climate change insights.

NEW YORK — Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like birds chirping in an unexpected place. These bursts of plasma, called chorus waves, ripple at the same frequency as human hearing. When ...

A study using data from ESA's Swarm mission suggests that faint magnetic signatures created by Earth's tides can help us ...

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.
