For generations, scientists have known that Earth’s magnetic field is uneven. Some regions exhibit stronger magnetic fields, while others exhibit weaker ones. One of the most prominent weak regions, ...

Earth is taking in more energy than it releases back to space—a growing "energy imbalance" that is fueling global warming. A new study led by scientists at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of ...

A vast weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field is quietly expanding over the South Atlantic Ocean. Scientists say the phenomenon, known as the South Atlantic Anomaly, could expose satellites and ...

Human-made debris left behind in outer space is a growing problem down on Earth From defunct satellites to rocket parts, debris from everything humans have launched into space since the 1950s is ...

Violent collisions between the growing Earth and other objects in the solar system generated significant amounts of iron vapor, according to a new study by LLNL scientist Richard Kraus and colleagues.

Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the European Space Agency's Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have discovered that the weak region in Earth's magnetic field over the South ...
