A new radio survey reveals that the Milky Way’s magnetic field is intricate, widespread, and deeply connected to how the galaxy is organized.

Simulations suggest that two enormous masses of hot rock have been involved in generating Earth’s magnetic field and giving it an irregular shape ...

Geologists from St. Petersburg State University, as part of an international scientific team, have analyzed rock data from ...

Earth’s magnetic field can linger in a weakened, unstable state for tens of thousands of years before fully flipping.

As much as I love the hands-on engagement and rewards of using old-school, tried-and-true navigation tools like magnetic ...

Abstract: Magenetic anomaly navigation relies on high quality maps to navigate well. The map creation process is complex and involves making decisions about where to place the sensors, how to process ...

The North Magnetic Pole is not standing still, and the latest shift is already pressuring defense, aviation, and tech systems ...

A NASA mission is underway to map the heliosphere, which is a huge protective bubble around the solar system that was created by the sun.

For the first time, scientists have used satellite data to create a 3D map of the sun's interior magnetic field, the fundamental driver of solar activity. The research, published in The Astrophysical ...

These useful navigation apps help you avoid bumper-to-bumper traffic and get to your destination quickly, but which is best? I tested both map services and found a clear winner. My PCMag career began ...

Abstract: Magnetic navigation requires the comparison of onboard magnetic sensor measurements to reference magnetic maps and models. Magnetic maps and models are available at a wide range of scales ...
