By trapping trillions of gallons of water behind nearly 7,000 dams since 1835, enough to fill the Grand Canyon twice, humans have redistributed the planet’s mass enough to cause a phenomenon known as ...

That complexity could mean bigger fireworks ahead. With the sunspot now rotating to face Earth, it could pose a threat for stronger space weather events in the coming days. M-class flares, like those ...

From 1835 to 1954, a surge of dam building in North America and Europe nudged the poles toward the equator. During this ...

China's Chang’e-6 mission has delivered the first-ever samples from the Moon’s far side, shedding light on one of planetary ...

The magnetic north pole has shifted over 400 km from Canada towards Russia in the past century due to changes in Earth's molten core. Scientists use the World Magnetic Model to monitor this ...

The magnetic north pole’s movement, which has suddenly accelerated toward Siberia this century, raises questions about what’s driving the unusual shift and why its motion matters.

British scientists have recently revealed that Earth's magnetic north pole is drifting towards Russia at an accelerated speed and is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago.

If you are using your smartphone to navigate, your system just got a crucial update. Scientists have released a new model tracking the position of the magnetic north pole, revealing that the pole is ...

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.
