Mercury, the smallest planet in our solar system, has a magnetic field that has intrigued scientists for decades. Recent ...

Illustration of the global coronal magnetic field as the sun rotates. The background is the solar corona observed in extreme-ultraviolet waveband, with global coronal magnetic field maps measured ...

Exoplanet habitability depends on a whole host of factors, with liquid water at the top of the list. It also requires a ...

As we approach solar maximum, something strange is happening to the sun's magnetic field. We explore this flip in polarity in more detail and look at the effects it could have on Earth.

Magnetic fields are everywhere in the universe. Of course, there's Earth's magnetic field, which deflects dangerous cosmic radiation, wiggles our compasses, and guides flocks of migrating birds.

Earth's magnetic field is weakening and its north pole is shifting faster than previously observed, raising concerns about a potential geomagnetic reversal. Geomagnetic reversals, where the ...

You usually can't hear or see the Earth's magnetic field, but researchers in Denmark found a clever way to capture its "groans." ...

The Earth’s magnetic field plays a big role in protecting people from hazardous radiation and geomagnetic activity that could affect satellite communication and the operation of power grids.

During solar minimum, the sun's magnetic field is close to a dipole, with one north pole and one south pole, similar to Earth's magnetic field.
