"We didn't know what exactly to expect from these first observations – the sun's poles are literally terra incognita,” Sami ...

Never before seen pictures will help scientists learn how the Sun's activity changes from stormy to quiet periods ...

Unlike the geographic North Pole, which remains fixed, magnetic north is shaped by the chaotic flow of molten iron within Earth’s outer core. This restless movement of metal generates the planet ...

Even though the speed of the magnetic North Pole drift has slowed, its future movement still cannot be predicted. Scientists are going to monitor the pole's location and continue to update WMM to ...

The magnetic north pole is shifting, scientists confirm. Its movement towards Russia has accelerated in recent decades. Researchers say it is now closer to Siberia than five years ago. Tracking ...

The magnetic north pole’s movement, which has suddenly accelerated toward Siberia this century, raises questions about what’s driving the unusual shift and why its motion matters.

But since then, the magnetic north has drifted away from Canada and toward Russia, experts said. According to them, the magnetic pole moved 400 kilometres northwest from its 1831 position.

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.

British explorer Sir James Clark Ross discovered the magnetic north pole in 1831 in northern Canada, approximately 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) south of the true North Pole.

While the magnetic north pole is on the move, the south magnetic pole is comparatively static. It’s moving northward, but at only about five to 10 kilometers per year, with hardly any movement ...

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

The reason behind the shifting North Pole is molten iron and nickel movement in the planet's outer core. Over the last 20 years, the iron and nickel have been flowing away from the magnetic lobe ...
