Are the Earth’s magnetic poles about to swap places? – techtoday19
Earth’s previous polar reversal happened 780,000 years ago. Are we facing another one soon? Hear from the authors of a new study, on a strange anomaly that might be a clue. Earth’s magnetic field extends from the Earth’s interior out into space, surrounding o…
