The solar wind plasma goes from moving at about 400 kilometers per second (900,000 miles per hour) to being diverted and ...

Recent observations of Jupiter's powerful magnetic field by NASA's Juno spacecraft have uncovered a never-before-documented ...

The last full reversal took place approximately 780,000 years ago - leaving some experts to predict another flip is imminent.

Release of the requested documents will negatively impact an ongoing inspector general investigation,” a city FOIA officer ...

A space probe has delivered world-first images of the Sun's south pole—and this is only the start towards deeper solar science.

The result is a bizarre transitional state, with the sun’s poles covered in a patchwork of localized “north” and “south” magnetic polarities.

As the Sun reaches a period of solar maximum during its 11-year cycle, its magnetic polarity flips, with the north and south magnetic poles reversing.

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 ...

Geophysicists have long speculated that the weakening of the magnetic field could signal a potential geomagnetic reversal, in which the planet’s north and south magnetic poles swap places.

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.

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.
