Earths New Magnetic Field 2025 Earth. Particle_Paths Imagine waking up to a world where compasses point south instead of north NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest Africa.

Imagine waking up to a world where compasses point south instead of north A massive region of lower magnetic intensity, known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), has appeared above our planet.

In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet's magnetic north and its chaotic and relatively unpredictable movements. "Major airlines will upgrade the navigation software across their entire fleets of aircraft to load in the new model, and militaries in NATO will need to upgrade software in a huge number of complex navigation systems across all kinds of equipment," Brown told Mindy Weisberger at CNN.

Are the Earth’s poles about to flip?. Something strange is happening in Earth's magnetic field, and it has caught NASA's attention "Major airlines will upgrade the navigation software across their entire fleets of aircraft to load in the new model, and militaries in NATO will need to upgrade software in a huge number of complex navigation systems across all kinds of equipment," Brown told Mindy Weisberger at CNN.
An Overview of the Earth's Field. Earth's inner core was long considered to be completely solid, but research has shown that it can be deformed New research has shown in the most detail yet how rapidly Earth's magnetic field - which acts like a shield to protect us from harsh solar winds and cosmic radiation - is changing, getting weaker over some parts of the world, and strengthening over others.
