Earth’s powerful magnetic field shields life on the planet from the severe cosmic radiation as we know it. This is what sets our blue world apart from Venus and Mars. However, the Earth’s ...
Researchers examined ancient plagioclase crystals to learn about Earth's history. A new study has discovered a startling record ...
The planet's magnetic field may have collapsed around 600 million years ago, enabling a major oxygenation event and perhaps supercharging evolution. A near collapse of Earth's magnetic field may ...
Life on Earth may exist thanks to a brief faltering in our planet's protective magnetic field shell, scientists have found. A bizarre drop in the strength of the magnetic field has been found to ...
Around 591 million years ago, Earth’s magnetic field almost collapsed. The near-disaster may have contributed to the ...
Earth's magnetic field nearly collapsed some 590 million years ago, presumably putting life on the planet's surface at risk of a ...
A near collapse of Earth's magnetic field may have paved the way for life to evolve past the microscopic stage. New research on ancient rocks from South Africa and Brazil suggests that Earth's ...
But we know, the magnetic field is there to protect us from solar winds. Then, how come its absence actually fuelled life on Earth?
The Earth’s magnetic field serves as the planet’s primary shield, protecting it from the Sun’s strong cosmic radiation.
The Earth’s magnetic field is vital for life – without it, the Sun’s radiation would sterilize the planet. But a new study suggests we wouldn’t be here at all if that magnetic field hadn ...
(CNN) — Earth’s magnetic field plays a key role in making our planet habitable. The protective bubble over the atmosphere shields the planet from solar radiation, winds, cosmic rays and wild ...
University of Rochester researchers studied Earth’s magnetic field during the transformative Ediacaran Period, which spanned from about 635 to 541 million years ago. The research raises ...
