41,000 years ago, a cataclysmic event shook our planet and forever changed humanity’s path. The Earth’s magnetic field briefly collapsed, leaving life on Earth exposed to increased solar and cosmic ...

A new sunspot forming on the surface of the sun might be about to fling solar flares in our direction. The sunspot, named 3856, is facing Earth and has developed a volatile type of magnetic field ...

In fact, there’s a name for this kind of galactic phenomena: “ space weather.” When waves of solar wind shoot out from the Sun and hit the Earth’s magnetic field, that interaction is called a “ ...

Scientists discovered Earth’s magnetic field is weakening over the Atlantic Ocean, but what does that mean for life on the ...

I read with interest the earlier attempt to answer this question (28 May), which suggested there was probably no link. However, there is some recent evidence that Earth’s magnetic field may affect the ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — New research indicates the sun’s magnetic field originates much closer to the surface than previously thought, a finding that could help predict periods of extreme solar ...

Sometimes there are storms where the wind gets really strong, it might rain, or there might be thunder and lightning. Did you ...

There is wide consensus among climate scientists that the Earth is warming and that humans directly contributed to this change by burning fossil fuels. Pole reversals have occurred several times in ...

They say beauty is only skin deep, and apparently so is the Sun’s magnetic field, according to a recent study. The Sun’s magnetic field is shallow, suggests new research, which used computer ...

The latest version of the World Magnetic Model (WMM), one of the key tools developed to model the change in Earth's magnetic field, has been released. Developed by NCEI and the British Geological ...

The jury is still out, but the verdict is likely to be that there is no causal link between Earth’s magnetic field and our weather. A possible link was suggested by Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark ...
