sea turtles, magnetic field and Earth

Earth’s magnetic field triggers a superpower in sea turtles that makes them ‘dance’
This week, see what makes loggerhead sea turtles “dance,” track a cosmic “ghost particle,” uncover an ancient basilica, and more.
Sea turtles use Earth's magnetic field like an invisible map
Sea turtles navigate using Earth's magnetic field like a GPS. Scientists found they learn and remember magnetic locations.
These sea turtles ‘dance’ when magnetic fields lead them to a snack
Loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta) are pretty loyal marine reptiles. Even with their roughly 8,000-mile-long migrations across oceans, they consistently return to the same feeding and nesting sites. Sea turtles can travel these distances by remembering the magnetic signatures of an area and storing that knowledge in a mental map.
Watch Turtles Boogie When Magnetic Fields Say Food Is Near
Loggerhead turtles can recognize the magnetic signatures that they associate with getting a nice meal – and do an adorable little dance when they do! That’s according to new research that suggests that these turtles use Earth’s magnetic field as a map and a compass in two different ways.
How sea turtles use Earth’s magnetic field as a GPS for precise ocean journeys
Discover how sea turtles navigate the ocean using their internal GPS and learn about their magnetic field perception.
Dancing turtles show how animals use magnetic field as a map
Some animals that migrate across the globe-such as birds, salmon, lobsters and sea turtles-are known to navigate using the magnetic field lines that stretch from Earth's north to south pole
Sea turtles ‘dance’ in magnetic fields associated with food, new study finds
Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations.
Sea Turtles Dance to Orientate With Earth's Magnetic Field, Study Reveals
Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favorite spots, scientists said Wednesday.
Watch turtles ‘dance’ when a magnetic field signals a meal
Earth’s magnetic field is detected by species across the animal kingdom, but new research suggests that sea turtles may be using it in a different way.
NASA satellites catch Earth's magnetic field making music
Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not sound waves.
Model shows spinning neutron stars gain enormous magnetic fields
An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe.
Loggerhead turtles use geomagnetic field to navigate large distances
Loggerhead turtles learn magnetic signatures for navigation and feeding, showcasing two distinct geomagnetic senses for migration, study finds.
