Galileo started this quest over 400 years ago, and scientists finally were able to peek at one of the biggest mysteries of the big star in our solar system.

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 ...

Some animals that migrate across the globe-such as birds, salmon, lobsters and sea turtles-are known to navigate using the magnetic field lines that stretch from Earth's north to south pole ...

Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favourite spots, scientists said Wednesday.

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.

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.

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.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the British Geological Survey announced the Magnetic North Pole has a new position.

Every five years, the location of the Magnetic North Pole is updated. In the latest model, it continues its shift toward Siberia, but it is slowing down.

Earth’s magnetic North Pole is shifting due to disturbances in the geomagnetic field caused by charged particles from the sun. The shift impacts navigation and needs to be regularly accounted for.
