Mars doesn’t have magnetic poles like Earth does, but that doesn’t stop the red planet from experiencing the night sky ...

The magnetic north pole, where compass needles point, is about 1,200 miles south and is where geomagnetic field lines are vertical. Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy ...

If you ever travel back in time to hang out with Homo sapiens around 41,000 years ago, pack some sunscreen – or better yet, a ...

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 ...

These ghostly glows are most visible near the magnetic poles. But thanks to increasing solar activity, they're now appearing farther south and more frequently than usual. Whether you're planning a ...

Every so often, our planet's magnetic poles reverse polarity (see When Compasses Point South). Compass needles have always pointed north; in a reversal, they would point south. You could perhaps ...

The telescope captured the space phenomena, which is hundreds of times brighter than the auroras we see on Earth.

Earth's magnetic poles usually align with the north and south poles but occasionally wander from their traditional geographic positions in a process called geomagnetic excursions due to changes in ...

A rare and rowdy “cannibal” solar eruption slammed into Earth this week, which painted the sky in jaw-dropping color from Scotland to the South Pole ... one massive, magnetic monster that ...

"Normally we only see the aurora at locations close to Earth’s magnetic north and south poles because charged particles from the sun get trapped by the Earth’s magnetic field and funnelled to ...
