Diagram of magnetic dip on Earth
Diagram of the Earths magnetic field. Engraving showing the dip of the Earths magnetic field at various latitudes, after the work of William Gilbert (1540-1603). In this picture, line AB is the equator, C is the North Magnetic Pole (Arctic) and D the South Magnetic Pole (Antarctic). The tip of the arrows are magnetic south, and the direction of the arrows indicates the direction a freely-rotating compass would point. To test the hypothesis, Gilbert used a special round lodestone called a terrela

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical diagram of the Earth's magnetic dip, illustrating the intricate nature of our planet's magnetic field. The engraving is based on the groundbreaking work of William Gilbert, a prominent figure in the history of science during the late 16th century. The diagram depicts various latitudes with line AB representing the equator and points C and D indicating the North and South Magnetic Poles respectively. Each arrow in this illustration represents magnetic south, while its direction indicates where a freely-rotating compass would point at that particular location. William Gilbert's hypothesis was put to test using a unique round lodestone known as terrella. This innovative tool allowed him to delve deeper into understanding magnetism and paved the way for further advancements in this field. Through this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge throughout history. It serves as a testament to our fascination with Earth's natural phenomena and our unyielding curiosity about how it all works. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Science Photo Library, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in scientific exploration – one that laid foundations for future discoveries related to magnetism and its profound impact on technology and our understanding of Earth itself.
