The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. This phenomenon happens roughly every 11 years and marks an important stage in the solar cycle. The shift in polarity ...

It’s a moment which doomsday fans are obsessed with – when Earth’s magnetic field flips from north to south, bringing chaos to our wired world. Earlier this year, a book suggested there are signs that ...

Earth’s magnetic field is vital to maintaining the habitable environment we currently enjoy. This protective bubble deflects solar wind particles and prevents them from eroding the atmosphere. But ...

Earth’s magnetic field seems steady and true — reliable enough to navigate by. Yet, largely hidden from daily life, the field drifts, waxes and wanes. The magnetic North Pole is currently careening ...

You might be scared if you heard Earth’s North Pole and South Pole were about to flip positions. The sun is about to do the same thing, and it’s not a worry for us. The sun is a big magnetic ball of ...

(CNN) — The reversal of Earth’s magnetic poles, along with a temporary breakdown of the world’s magnetic field about 42,000 years ago, could have triggered a raft of environmental changes, solar ...

The world experienced a few centuries of apocalyptic conditions 42,000 years ago, triggered by a reversal of the Earth’s magnetic poles combined with changes in the Sun’s behavior. That’s the key ...

41,000 years ago, a cataclysmic event shook our planet and forever changed humanity’s path. The Earth’s magnetic field briefly collapsed, leaving life on Earth exposed to increased solar and cosmic ...

The north magnetic pole’s observed locations from 1831–2007 are yellow squares. Modeled pole locations from 1590–2025 are circles progressing from blue to yellow. Credit: National Centers for ...
