The European Space Agency (ESA) released the first images captured by a spacecraft to observe the Sun’s poles using optical instruments.

Visuals from the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter reveal chaotic solar magnetism in the solar polar region. Even better images are expected in the years ahead.

The Earth’s magnetic field is slowly but surely undergoing a significant change, as scientists predict an upcoming magnetic pole flip, where the North and South magnetic poles will reverse. While this ...

For the first time, ESA’s Solar Orbiter has captured direct images of the Sun’s north and south poles, offering crucial ...

The geographic North Pole is in a different location than the magnetic North Pole, which is the spot that guides our compasses and other navigation systems. The Earth’s iron core and magnetic ...

NASA is collaborating with the Alaska Satellite Facility in Fairbanks to create a powerful, web-based tool that will show the ...

Some geomagnetic storm conditions are expected after a coronal mass ejection that left the sun last week, forecasters said.

Over the course of our planet’s history, the field has flipped hundreds of times: Magnetic north has slid toward the bottom of the planet while magnetic south has traveled north. Signatures in ...

15. Place the weather vane outside and use the compass to match the north side of the paper plate with magnetic north. 16. Observe findings. If the wind arrow is pointing east then the wind is ...
