Dividers and compasses are drawing instruments that have been used since antiquity to measure distances, transfer lengths from one drawing to another, and draw circles. The Greek mathematician, Euclid ...

Changes on Earth. And notable ones at that. The latest update of the World Magnetic Model (WMM) 2025 has left a surprising milestone. The magnetic North Pole, which for centuries m ...

On Earth, the magnetic field of our planet points a compass north, but in space, things are a bit more complicated.

Compasses are navigational instruments that determine direction relative to Earth’s magnetic poles. Mechanical versions of these magnetically-sensitive devices usually contain a face with the cardinal ...

On Earth, compasses always point north—but when you’re drifting outside our planet’s magnetosphere, things get more complicated.

Dalston's got no shortage of cool but manufactured places to hang out. The Three Compasses manages to feel trendy even though its interior hasn't changed much in decades. That's the charm of the ...

Magnetotactic bacteria synthesize magnetic iron nanominerals, which function as tiny compasses that allow the microbes to navigate using Earth's geomagnetic field. Earth's iron cycle is a very ...

In geometry a construction is an accurate drawing. There are two main constructions which can be done using a ruler, a pair of compasses and a pencil. Place the compasses on the left-hand endpoint ...
