Scientists released an update to a model that maps the ever-moving pole and has significant implications for navigation ...
Flying over the "terminator"—the boundary between day and night—the spacecraft gained a rare opportunity to peer directly into the permanently shadowed craters at the planet's north pole.
The European and Japanese robotic explorer swooped as close as 183 miles (295 kilometers) above Mercury's night side before passing directly over the planet's north pole. The European Space Agency ...

A polar day is when the sun does not set and stays above the horizon for an extended period, while a polar night is when the ...
Scientists have released a new model tracking the position of the magnetic north pole, revealing that the pole is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago and is continuing to drift toward ...
