Earth's North Magnetic Pole

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Earth's North Magnetic Pole is not fixed. It wanders daily in an elliptical path and moves more than forty meters northward each day. Over 4.5 billion years, it has roamed across much of the Earth's surface. This magnetic field is vital, guiding compasses and shielding our planet from solar radiation.
