The liquid iron in Earth's outer core doesn't always behave as expected. When it changed direction in an unexplained way, ESA ...

Discover how recent changes in Earth's outer core influence its magnetic field and reveal new geological patterns.

Earth’s molten outer core is critical to life on our planet. Churning some 2,900 kilometers beneath the surface, it’s a vast ...

ESA satellites detected a dramatic reversal in Earth’s molten core flow beneath the Pacific, revealing unexpected changes ...

This video explains recent scientific findings about changes in Earth’s inner core rotation, what researchers measure, and ...

Deep beneath the Pacific near the equator, Earth’s outer core now flows east instead of west. Dynamics deeper within our planet’s core may help explain the change and what to expect in the near future ...

Scientists have discovered that our planet's inner core may contain a small seed at its center: a distinct region called the "innermost inner core." In geology textbooks, we learn that the ...

The Global Positioning System works because satellites carry atomic clocks. Those satellites orbit high above Earth, where ...

When you look up at the sky on a sunny day, the sun might seem like a bright spot, unchanging in the sky. But the sun is a ...

The Earth is made of different layers: the core, mantle and crust. Plate tectonic theory shows that the crust of the Earth is split into plates (pieces of the Earth’s crust). The movement of these ...

Representing the longest continuous record of the Earth’s climate, the giant ice core may soon unlock some much-wanted data ...

Researchers from the Florida Institute of Technology, led by lead author Jordan Vaas, have found that supermassive black ...
