Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects ...

An animation showing magnetic field instabilities in two jets of radiation and matter beaming from a supermassive black hole (center). The magnetic field (white) is twisted by the black hole's spin.

<p>Simulation of a possible quadrupole magnetic field configuration for a pulsar with hot spots in only the southern hemisphere. <p>View animated GIF: <a target ...

Deep in the core of most galaxies, hidden by spinning clouds of gas and dust, black holes spin like cosmic engines. These ...

A study using the Very Large Array radio telescope may have discovered a magnetic field on exoplanet YZ Ceti b. Magnetic fields protect planets from energetic particles that can strip away atmospheres ...

Satellite data reveal that a weak region in Earth's magnetic field has grown by an area roughly half the size of continental ...

Earth’s magnetic field is essential to life on our planet. It protects Earth from cosmic radiation and acts as a shield ...

Weather forecasting is a powerful tool. During hurricane season, for instance, meteorologists create computer simulations to ...

The weak spot, known as the South Atlantic Anomaly, was identified in the 19th century and expanded in recent years.

Per the ESA, this phenomenon can be best explained by strange behaviors far within the Earth at the boundary where the Earth's liquid outer core meets the rocky mantle layer. This boundary, referred ...
