On Dec. 17, the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and the British Geological Survey (BGS) released an updated version of the World Magnetic Model, a prediction for how Earth's ...

Earth’s magnetic north pole has been shifting gradually for centuries due to the movement of molten metals in the planet’s outer core. In the 1990s, magnetic north began to experience an ...

Scientists have released a new model tracking the position of the magnetic north pole, revealing that the pole is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago and is continuing to drift toward ...

The planet's magnetic North Pole, where compasses point, has been unexpectedly moving toward Russia. While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it ...

North Pole, doesn’t actually point at the north magnetic pole at all. It’s a bit confusing, but the north pole as far as the Earth’s magnetic field is concerned is a constantly-shifting ...

Based on the most up-to-date models, the Magnetic North Pole (MNP) is continuing on its trajectory towards Russia. Not to be confused with the Geographic North Pole, sometimes called “True North ...

The Earth's magnetic North Pole is moving east, which is interesting but not unusual. What's unusual is how fast it is moving. At 55 kilometres a year, the pole is racing east at a pace faster ...

You’ll guess that two of them are true North, pointing to the North Pole, and magnetic North, pointing to the Earth’s north magnetic field, but how about the third? It’s grid North — the ...

Earth’s magnetic north pole has been shifting, and this change is affecting charged particles in the planet’s vicinity, potentially altering satellite orbits due to atmospheric heating and ...

But it’s more important than you might think. The Earth acts like a giant bar magnet, with a magnetic north and south pole. Confusingly, these are not in the same place as the geographic north ...
