For some years now, scientists have been puzzling over why our planet's north magnetic pole has been making a dash towards Siberia. Thanks, in part, to ESA’s #Swarm satellite mission, scientists are now more confident in the theory that tussling magnetic 'blobs' deep below Earth’s surface are at the root of this phenomenon 👉 https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/Swarm/Magnetic_north_and_the_elongating_blob | ESA - European Space Agency

🌍⚡ Earth’s Magnetic Engine Is Stalling in Siberia ⚡🌍 The North Magnetic Pole has slowed to the sharpest pace change ever recorded. It once surged across the Arctic at nearly 60 km a year. Now it moves at around 35 km a year, deep in Siberia and bending south. This slowdown is shifting the funnels where charged particles enter the atmosphere. Auroras are appearing in new regions. Satellites are facing more disruption. Radiation at high latitudes is climbing. Ancient records show the magnetic fi

Earth's wandering magnetic North Pole has recently gained momentum and is making a dash towards Siberia at a pace not seen before. Scientists believe this sprint is being caused by tussling magnetic 'blobs' deep below our feet.
