Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

The updated version of the World Magnetic Model was released on Dec. 17, with a new prediction of how the magnetic north pole will shift over the next five years. Here's why it was changed.

The south magnetic pole is also moving, though at a much slower rate (10-15km a year). This rapid wandering of the north magnetic pole has caused some problems for scientists and navigators alike.

Over the past 150 years, the magnetic North Pole has casually wandered 685 miles across northern Canada. But right now it's racing 25 miles a year to the northwest.

However, for the past 30 years, the magnetic north pole has been shifting rapidly north. In 1990, it increased the pace of its shift from 9.3 miles per year to 34.2 miles per year, which was ...

WASHINGTON — True north isn't quite where it used to be. Earth's north magnetic pole has been drifting so fast in the last few decades that scientists that past estimates are no longer accurate ...

You might be scared if you heard Earth’s North Pole and South Pole were about to flip positions. The sun is about to do the same thing, and it’s not a worry for us. The sun is a big magnetic ...

British explorer Sir James Clark Ross discovered the magnetic north pole in 1831 in northern Canada, approximately 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) south of the true North Pole.

Since the magnetic north pole was first measured in 1831 it has moved about 1,400 miles toward Siberia. ... where north and south pole changes polarity, like a bar magnet flipping over.
