We spent the time to research and plan our own installation, and it'll help you make the right decisions when you build out ...

THE Meteorologische Zeitschrift for April contains an interesting article by Prof. G. Hellmann on the knowledge of the magnetic declination before the time of Christopher Columbus. Some years ago ...

The magnetic north pole is once again on the move, and this time it’s edging even closer to Siberia. Scientists have just released an updated version of the World Magnetic Model (WMM), marking the ...

As of now, the Earth’s magnetic poles have not flipped, but they are slowly drifting. The process of the magnetic poles "flipping," also known as geomagnetic reversal, happens over thousands of years, ...

An attempt was made: mammals While birds harness the power of the Earth’s magnetic field to traverse vast migratory routes, other animals have a more, uh… prosaic uses for it.

This image shows magnetic declination, or the angle between magnetic and geographic north, according to the World Magnetic Model released in 2025. Red is magnetic north to the east of geographic north ...

In past research, the stars, the Sun and the Earth’s magnetic field have all been implicated as means by which birds find their way to faraway places. A recent study has shed new light on how birds ...

Migratory birds can extract positional information from magnetic inclination and magnetic declination alone. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2024; 291 (2034) DOI: 10.1098 ...

Many migratory birds use Earth’s magnetic field as a compass, but some can also use information from that field to determine more or less where they are on a mental map. Eurasian reed warblers ...

But magnetic north doesn’t line up perfectly with true north, the point where the Earth’s axis hits the surface (and above which the North Star sits). The difference between magnetic and true north, ...

In a paper recently published in the journal 'Science,' researchers found birds may be able to "see" the Earth's magnetic field, helping them know where to migrate.
