In 2013, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched a mission containing three satellites that measure the Earth’s magnetic field with high precision. The Swarm mission collects data on the ...

So much radiation, in fact, that the only thing standing between us and our planet being bathed in radioactive energy from the Sun is the Earth’s magnetic field. And this field plays a large ...

Not to be confused with the geographic North Pole, which marks the world's northernmost point, the magnetic North Pole is the direction towards which compass needles point.

The BGS, along with other organizations, has geomagnetic observatories all over the world designed to precisely measure the ...

NASA has made a huge discovery: the ambipolar field, an invisible electric field around Earth that could reshape our understanding of our planet.

To measure the remanent magnetism in tiny samples of meteorites, the geo-quantum diamond microscope must be shielded from earth's own magnetic field. Inside the little room, earth's magnetic field ...

Unlike other insects, they rely on a unique component of Earth’s magnetic field for orientation. This finding suggests that desert ants possess a distinct mechanism for magnetoreception that ...

In past research, the stars, the Sun and the Earth’s magnetic field have all been implicated as means by which birds find their way to faraway places. A recent study has shed new light on how birds ...

While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it was before, raising questions about the planet's magnetic field. If the Earth's field is disrupted ...

although the exact location of it changes from time to time as the contours of Earth’s magnetic field also change. The magnetic North Pole is sometimes confused with the geographic North Pole ...

Is it possible with this sensor to measure a magnetic field of 0,1 uT ? I know I will need a shield to remove the earth magnetic field around 50 uT and the external other influences. I believe this is ...

and the location changes depending on the shifting contours of the Earth’s magnetic field. The magnetic pole is distinguishable from the geographic North Pole, also referred to as true north ...
