Earth’s north pole comes in two forms: true north and magnetic north. True north refers to the geographic north pole, the fixed point where Earth’s rotational axis meets its surface.

For the First Time in 360 Years, True and Magnetic North Will Align in the U.K. True North and magnetic North will align along the Prime Meridian. By Jennifer Leman Published: Aug 30, 2019 3:11 PM EDT ...

Magnetic north has never sat still. In the last hundred years or so, the direction in which our compasses steadfastly point has lumbered ever northward, driven by Earth's churning liquid outer ...

Each isogone is marked with a number that represents the degree of variation between magnetic north and true north. If there was a negative declination (where magnetic north is west of true north), ...

Migratory birds use the misalignment between Earth’s magnetic and geographic poles to gauge longitude — their position along the planet’s east–west axis. Nikita Chernetsov at the ...
