Russian MIR submersible, one of the two vehicles that were used in the first ever manned descent to the seabed under the North Pole. On 2 August 2007 a Russian scientific expedition Arktika 2007 made the first ever manned descent to the ocean floor at the North Pole, to a depth of 4.3 km (2.7 mi), as part of the research programme in support of ...
In this sample of images from 2004, bright X-ray arcs of low energy (0.1 – 10 keV) are generated during auroral activity. The images are superimposed on a simulated image of Earth. The color code of the X-ray arcs represent brightness, with maximum brightness shown in red. Distance from the North pole to the black circle is 3,340 km (2,080 mi).
The Earth's Magnetic North Pole is actually considered the "south pole" in terms of a typical magnet, meaning that the north pole of a magnet would be attracted to the Earth's Magnetic North Pole. [2] The north magnetic pole moves over time according to magnetic changes and flux lobe elongation [3] in the Earth's outer core. [4]
It detected 339 X-ray sources in its 2.5-year lifetime. [4] The Einstein Observatory, launched in 1978, was the first imaging X-ray observatory. It obtained high-resolution X-ray images in the energy range from 0.1 to 4 keV of stars of all types, supernova remnants, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies.
Compass needles in the Northern Hemisphere point toward the magnetic North Pole, although the exact location of it changes from time to time as the contours of Earth’s magnetic field also change.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) defines the north pole of a planet or any of its satellites in the Solar System as the planetary pole that is in the same celestial hemisphere, relative to the invariable plane of the Solar System, as Earth's north pole. [1] This definition is independent of the object's direction of rotation about its ...
