Researchers have spotted interesting changes in the South Atlantic Anomaly, which is a region of Earth’s magnetic field that has a large dent. The area of weak magnetism appears to be splitting ...

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

"Our study provides the first long-term analysis of the magnetic field in this region dating back millions of years,” Engbers said. “It reveals that the anomaly in the magnetic field in the South ...

Part of Earth's magnetic field appears to be getting weaker, scientists have said. Using satellite data, researchers believe an "anomaly" in the South Atlantic may have split in two, with the ...

Thousands of years ago, Earth’s magnetic field underwent a significant power surge over a part of the planet that included the ancient kingdom of Mesopotamia. People at the time probably never ...

NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest ...

Earth's magnetic field is shaking things up once again.. Sloshing liquid iron in Earth's outer core—which lies roughly 1,900 miles (3,200 kilometers) below us—generates our planet's protective ...

On the left, the Earth’s magnetic field we’re used to. On the right, a model of what the magnetic field might be like during a reversal. On the left, the Earth’s magnetic field we’re used ...

There have been proposed hypotheses as to how the Moon could have developed a core dynamo. For instance, a 2022 analysis suggested that in the first billion years, when the Moon was covered in molten ...
