Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar approach elsewhere help us unravel the mysteries of Earth's magnetic field?

Earth's skies pulse in sync with the sun's solar flares Hidden in the chemical composition of ancient rocks are clues that Earth's magnetic field is a dynamic, shifting phenomena.

The magnetic field radiates around the world and far into space, but it is set by processes that happen deep within the Earth's core, where temperatures exceed 5,000-degress C. New research from ...

Strength of the magnetic field at Earth's surface. (ESA) The last such cataclysmic event occurred about 41,000 years ago, leaving a signature in the Laschamps lava flows in France.

Earth’s magnetic field is generated by what’s called a “dynamo effect.” Earth isn’t the only planet with a magnetic field – gas giant planets like Jupiter have a conducting metallic ...

About 565 million years ago, the earth's magnetic field became so weak that it nearly collapsed. It was about ten times weaker than it is today, and this lasted for a period of about 75 thousand ...

Mercury does have a weak magnetic field, but it is only 1.1% as strong as Earth's and doesn't do much to shield the planet from solar radiation.

A reduced magnetic field could expose satellites to high levels of radiation and solar storms, which could knock them out of the sky, Solter-Hunt said. "It's a real Catch-22 for satellite ...

Earth’s oxygenated atmosphere and magnetic field make life possible, but scientists have discovered that there’s a hidden link between the two that’s stronger than we originally imagined.

Earth’s Magnetic Field Might Weirdly Be Controlling the Air We Breathe, Scientists Say Magnetism and oxygen may intrinsically influence each other, but experts aren’t sure why.
