The way Carlo Laj tells it, the 1980s were a dead time for scientists studying Earth's peculiar habit of flipping its magnetic field every few hundred thousand years. Laj and other paleomagnetists spent the dec
Researchers have shed light on how heat is conducted by the inner and outer cores of the Earth to create its protective magnetic field. AsianScientist (Jun. 16, 2016)– Earth’s magnetic field shields us from deadly cosmic radiation. Without it, life as we know it could not exist. But h...

Deep below the surface of the Earth is the liquid outer core of the planet. This core is composed mostly nickel and iron and rotates independently of the rest of the planet. This spinning ball of iron creates the Earth's magnetic field....
GEODYNAMO.Motion in the Earth's liquid core generates the planet's magnetic field. Thus, the only two magnetic fields for which we have any significant historical record--those of the Earth and the sun--are bistable. They spend most of the time in a stable state with the magnetic field ...
The earth has an enormous magnetic field surrounding it like a shell. This magnetic field is produced by electrical currents that are generated in the liquid outer core of the earth. Earth's magnetic field extends hundreds of thousands of miles into space....
The iron collects around the corners (polar regions) of the magnet in the ‘north and south’, while on the sides of the magnet (equatorial regions), few collect. In figure 5 you can see that Earth is essentially a giant magnet with the solar wind following invisible magnetic field lines...
A magnet is suspended horizontal in the earth's magnetic field. When it is displaced and then released it oscillates in a horizontal plane with a period T. If a place of wood of the same moment of inertia (about the axis of rotation) as the magnet is attached to the magnet what would...
The February full moon is known as the Full Snow Moon. The full moon is the point where the entire face of the moon is illuminated by the sun as seen from Earth. "This is as close as we come to seeing the sun's illumination of the entire day side of the moon (so, technically, ...
