Video: Solar Orbiter Spacecraft Reveals Sun's South Pole For The First Time
The robotic Solar Orbiter spacecraft has obtained the first images ever taken of our sun's two poles as scientists seek a deeper understanding of Earth's host star, including its magnetic field, its 11-year cycle of activity and the solar wind.

Earth's Magnetic North Pole Is On The Move, This Is How Far It Has Shifted
British scientists have recently revealed that Earth's magnetic north pole is drifting towards Russia at an accelerated speed and is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago.

Updated World Magnetic Model Predicts Magnetic North Pole’s Shift
On December 17, the National Centers for Environmental Information and the British Geological Survey released an updated version of the World Magnetic Model, designed to predict Earth's magnetic field changes over the next five years. The update is crucial for ensuring the accuracy of navigation systems, including satellite and smartphone applicati...

Jupiter’s Earth-Sized Storms Might Be Caused by Magnetic Tornadoes, Study Claims
Magnetic tornadoes twisting down from Jupiter's ionosphere create massive, Earth-sized anticyclonic storms in the planet's atmosphere. These dark ovals, detectable only in ultraviolet light, form dense hazes of aerosols stirred by swirling magnetic vortices. This phenomenon, visible at Jupiter's poles, was unveiled through data from the Hubble Spac...

Earth's Magnetic North Pole Moving Closer To Russia. Here's What It Means
The molten iron in Earth's outer core flows in unpredictable ways, causing the magnetic poles to shift.

Earth's Poles Are Moving And Will Flip. Why Is That A Cause Of Worry
When such reversals happen, there comes a time when the magnetic shield shrinks to zero before growing again with the opposite polarity.

Rare Exoplanets Orbiting Pulsars Searched in the Largest Survey Conducted by Researchers
In the latest research, astronomers from the University of Manchester have conducted the largest search for pulsar orbiting exoplanets. The survey included more than 800 pulsars which were analysed over the last 50 years. The researchers have tried to detect signals indicating the presence of planetary companions that had around 100 times more mass...
