As the iron and nickel inside our planet shift, so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also constantly on the move. Recently, the position of the magnetic North Pole was officially changed, as it continues its shift away from Canada and towards Siberia.

A powerful geomagnetic storm caused by an X-class solar flare and a fast-moving coronal mass ejection has disrupted Earth's magnetic field, pushing auroras far beyond their usual polar range. As scientists monitor impacts,

Earth’s magnetic field was rattled by a solar outburst that arrived with almost no warning, lighting up skies and briefly reminding power grid operators and satellite controllers how vulnerable modern systems can be. The blast was not especially ...

Scientists tracked active solar region NOAA 13664 for 94 days, showing how persistent magnetic complexity drives flares and space weather.

An X-class solar flare has produced an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection, increasing solar activity and raising the likelihood of geomagnetic impacts within 24 hours.

Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this same structure also opens controlled escape routes ...

The sun sure has woken up this week, unleashing a powerful X-class solar flare on Jan. 18 that hurled a colossal, fast-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) directly toward Earth. That CME has now arrived, triggering severe (G4) geomagnetic storm conditions far earlier than initially forecast.
