A G1 (minor) geomagnetic storm is often the result of Earth plunging into a fast stream of the solar wind, or when a small, ...

Peculiar bursts of energy called chorus waves have been detected in deep space far from our planet, suggesting they could pose problems for long-distance space travel ...

A perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the ...

Aurorae manifest as curtains of light that trace the geomagnetic field lines and can vary in color depending on the species of atom being excited. As Earth's atmosphere is dominated by nitrogen ...

Instead, magnetic north is the changing location where the planet’s magnetic field lines converge ... before,” William Brown, a global geomagnetic field modeler at the British Geological ...

Imagine gazing up at the night sky this Valentine's Day and witnessing a celestial dance of colors. The Northern Lights are ...

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...

The findings suggest that migratory species such as loggerhead turtles use the geomagnetic field as a map when navigating large distances. The authors suggest the two distinct tools of ...

The northern lights are best seen between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time, according to NOAA, which recommends traveling to a ...

The effects of a coronal mass ejection—a bubble of plasma that bursts from the sun’s surface—will likely impact Earth’s magnetic field on Saturday, bringing the northern lights to several northern U.S ...
