An animation using data from the European Space Agency (ESA) allows you to "listen" to Earth's magnetic field being disrupted ...
Our planet’s gymnastics routine continues underneath our feet nearly every day, but researchers recently mapped what they say is one of the most “drastic events in the evolution of ...
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.
Aurora chasers, keep your eyes on the skies this weekend as northern lights might be possible at mid-latitudes.
The geomagnetic field, generated by the convecting motions of Earth’s liquid outer core, is a fundamental facet of our planet’s evolution. Its long‐term behaviour is recorded in rocks ...
The geomagnetic field originated from the outer core, and the tectonic plates recycled Earth's crust and oxygen into the mantle, impacting the lower mantle.
That's because scientists know the geomagnetic field originates deep inside the planet and propagates to Earth's surface and into space. "The other direction is less well understood," he said.
The resulting 3D model showed where charged particles were able to slip through Earth’s geomagnetic field. An illustration of what an aurora across more southern parts of Europe may have looked ...
Auroras occur when high-energy particles from the solar wind or a solar storm are captured by Earth's geomagnetic field and funnelled down into the upper atmosphere.
The Earth is prone to more geomagnetic storms during the spring and fall equinoxes than throughout the solstices.
The G4 geomagnetic storm that brought auroras across the U.S. also generated electrical currents in rocks under the ground.
