When large masses of water are moved from one place to another, this changes the shape of Earth and leads to a phenomenon ...

The Solar Orbiter has captured humanity's first look at the south pole of the sun, revealing messy magnetic fields and particles being ejected at high speeds.

Ancient Homo sapiens may have benefited from sunscreen, tailored clothes and the use of caves during the shifting of the magnetic North Pole over Europe about 41,000 years ago, new University of ...

BGS/UKRI/Wessel, P./W. H. F. Smith A map showing magnetic declination, or the angle between true north and magnetic north. Earth’s north pole comes in two forms: true north and magnetic north. True ...

The magnetic north pole, a critical point for navigation systems worldwide, has shifted closer to Siberia, continuing its unpredictable movement that has puzzled scientists for decades. Unlike the ...

However, the question remains: why do these updates occur, and why does magnetic north constantly move? The magnetic declination, which indicates the angle between magnetic and geographic north, is ...

This image shows magnetic declination, or the angle between magnetic and geographic north, according to the World Magnetic Model released in 2025. Red is magnetic north to the east of geographic ...

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

Unlike the geographic North Pole, which marks a fixed location, the magnetic north pole’s position is determined by Earth’s magnetic field, which is in constant motion. Over the past few ...

This image shows magnetic declination, or the angle between magnetic and geographic north, according to the World Magnetic Model released in 2025.

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.
