Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The Earth’s magnetosphere protects life from deadly space radiation, but many aspects of its function remain a mystery. Scientists have long believed ...

The sun is governed by a strict rhythm. The magnetic activity of the sun displays a cyclic variation, reaching a maximum approximately every eleven years. Two enormous plasma circulations, each in one ...

A major dip in the Earth’s magnetic field over the South Atlantic has been puzzling scientists for over a century. An international team of researchers analyzed data collected by the European Space ...

The weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field, a region over the South Atlantic where the field’s strength is significantly reduced compared to its surrounding area, has grown by an area nearly the size of ...

A weak spot in the Earth's magnetic field is growing over the South Atlantic Ocean, according to more than a decade's worth of satellite data collected by scientists. The magnetic field surrounding ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo ...
