The Gannon storm also rocked Earth’s magnetosphere, the magnetic bubble surrounding the planet, NASA added. That scientists witnessed giant, curling waves of particles and rolled-up magnetic ...

Understanding the dynamics of Earth’s magnetosphere is essential for developing strategies to mitigate these threats. Solar ...

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has announced that Earth would experience geomagnetic storms ...

The current crack sets the stage for possible G1-class geomagnetic storms. A geomagnetic storm is a significant disturbance of Earth's magnetosphere that occurs when there is a very efficient ...

Researchers have detected fluctuations in Earth's magnetosphere created by the same tidal forces that the moon exerts on the oceans. The moon exerts a previously unknown tidal force on the "plasma ...

The sun remains active, and a geomagnetic storm alert has been issued for June 24-25, as a recurrent, negative polarity ...

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

A X7.1 solar flare exploded from the sun at around at around 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday (Oct. 1). At the time, it was the second most powerful flare of the current solar cycle.

A solar wind event squashed the protective bubble around Uranus just before Voyager 2 flew by the planet in 1986, shifting how astronomers understood the mysterious world.

But geomagnetic north, currently located over Canada’s Ellesmere Island, is not a fixed point—it represents the northern axis of Earth’s magnetosphere and shifts from time to time.
