Historically, solar storms have had notable consequences. In 1989, a severe solar storm caused electrical blackouts in Quebec, Canada, lasting for 12 hours. The Carrington Event in 1859, considered the most intense solar storm on record, caused fires at telegraph stations.
Sharks use the Earth's magnetic field as a sort of natural GPS to navigate journeys that take them great distances across the world's oceans, scientists have found.
The Moon played a huge role in the evolution of life on Earth as a new study suggests that our natural satellite once had a magnetic field that helped shield our home planet from harmful solar radiation during a critical early time.
The protective magnetic field around Earth is in the process of splitting into two, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has discovered. This small but evolving dent in the magnetic field can cause big headaches for satellites.
Scientists have developed a new puffy model for the shape of the Sun's heliosphere or the magnetic bubble that surrounds our solar system.
The magnetic field is constantly changing. Satellites now provide new means to measure and track its current shifts but the field existed long before the invention of human-made recording devices.
New data obtained by the European Space Agency (ESA) satellites revealed the existence of a mysterious anomaly weakening Earth's magnetic field. Termed as 'South Atlantic Anomaly', extends all the way from South America to southwest Africa. But what does this exactly mean? Are all the doomsday theories making rounds real? IndiaTVnews.com reached out to NASA with similar questions.
The European Space Agency (ESA) scientists have warned that the earth's geomagnetic field is weakening in some areas area between Africa and South America.
We all know that the Earth has its own magnetic field. But have we heard the same for the moon? Not until now. Scientists believe that a lunar magnetic field existed a billion years ago and was twice as strong as the earth's field today.
The Earth's magnetic North Pole has been racing towards Siberia at an increasing pace, according to a Science Alert report. For the first time in its recorded history, the magnetic north pole even crossed the Greenwich meridian, the invisible line that determines time zones.
The Swarm mission, which was launched in 2013, consists of three identical satellites.
Washington: The US space agency plans to launch an ambitious Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission in March next year to deploy four identical spacecraft from a single rocket to study magnetic reconnection in the universe.NASA has
