    Just an FYI: Earth’s South Magnetic Pole is actually in the North. That’s why the North tip of a compass needle points there.

        @neiltyson @planetscape the earth's magnetic poles apparently reverse every few million years. Imagine the chaos if that happens..

        @neiltyson Or, could the "north" tips of the magnets/compass needles be really "south" because they're attracted to the north magnetic pole?
