Scientists released an update to a model that maps the ever-moving pole and has significant implications for navigation ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

This is essentially when the Earth’s magnetic poles swap around. NASA explained: “During a pole reversal, the magnetic field weakens, but it doesn’t completely disappear. The magnetosphere ...

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.

The magnetic north pole has shifted over 400 km from Canada towards Russia in the past century due to changes in Earth's molten core. Scientists use the World Magnetic Model to monitor this ...

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 ...

Recent observations reveal that Earth's magnetic poles are gradually drifting. Until the 1990s, the North Pole moved at about 15 kilometers per year. However, the rate has accelerated to 55 ...

In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet’s ...

It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes, as the position of the magnetic North Pole is officially ...
