While the northern lights often steal the spotlight, their southern counterpart—aurora australis—offers an equally dazzling ...

But Earth's magnetic field is not arranged in straight lines all the way from the North Pole to the South Pole. As you get closer to the magnetic South Pole, the field lines will curve to dive ...

This means that the Sun’s north and south magnetic poles switch places. Then it takes about another 11 years for the Sun’s north and south poles to flip back again.” ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

According to Brown, the South Pole is much more stable: "The magnetic South Pole has moved very little, covering about the same distance in a century that the north pole did in a decade." ...

The Earth’s magnetic poles (probably) aren’t about to flip, scientists say A new study determined that a weakness in the geomagnetic field over the South Atlantic will probably fade away.

Jupiter's magnetic field is profoundly different from that of all other known planets — it essentially has two magnetic south poles instead of just one, a new Nature study finds.

On top of this, a number of experts have said the magnetic field is due to reverse, meaning the magnetic north and south pole swap places. Intervals between the reversals are irregular, but ...
