The updated version of the World Magnetic Model was released on Dec. 17, with a new prediction of how the magnetic north pole will shift over the next five years. Here's why it was changed.

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.

British scientists said the magnetic North Pole was moving rapidly toward Russia. Here's what that means.

“Humans are not causing climate change.” Magnetic pole shifting “is causing havoc worldwide in weather, climate, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.” ...

Earth’s magnetic North Pole is moving toward Russia. NASA In Earth’s northern hemisphere, compass needles point toward the magnetic North Pole, and the location changes depending on the ...

The planet's magnetic North Pole, where compasses point, has been unexpectedly moving toward Russia. While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it ...

For the first time, scientists have spotted what they're calling a "space hurricane" spinning above the North Pole, according to a new study.

Scientists first described a space hurricane in 2021: It was a cyclone-shaped aurora, swirling for hours near Earth’s north magnetic pole and raining down electrons, rather than water, into the ...

Not to be confused with the geographic North Pole, which marks the world's northernmost point, the magnetic North Pole is the direction towards which compass needles point.

Scientists are baffled as the North Pole moves increasingly closer to Russia which could eventually play havoc with people's smartphones. "The magnetic pole has been moving very slowly around ...

The Earth's north magnetic pole is drifting away from North America so fast that it could end up in Siberia within 50 years, scientists have said. The shift could mean that Alaska will lose its ...
