A mysterious event 41,000 years ago sent Earth’s magnetic field into chaos, reshaping the planet in ways we’re just beginning to understand. Scientists have uncovered haunting sounds that bring this ...

The South Atlantic Anomaly(SAA), a region of weakened magnetic field over South America and the Atlantic, is intensifying.

The Sun’s magnetic field is stronger than Earth’s own, and in certain variable regions it can be thousands of times stronger.

It took 250 years for the Laschamps reversal to take place and it stayed in the unusual orientation for about 440 years. At ...

Scientists believe the Sun’s magnetic field could reverse within our lifetime, a natural cycle that occurs roughly every 11 ...

Analysis of the magnetic signatures confirmed their suspicion: Over the three million years captured in their samples, they detected a striking 78 field reversals. “We expected a very high ...

It helps deflect harmful solar winds and ... the weakening of Earth's magnetic field by around nine per cent in the past 170 years – could indicate an upcoming reversal," said Cooper.

The Sun is preparing for a major event: the reversal of its magnetic field. This phenomenon marks a turning point in the solar cycle, signaling the transition from solar maximum to solar minimum. This ...
