How a 1967 Solar Storm Nearly Led to Nuclear War

Admin

SPACE.COM A powerful solar storm nearly heated the Cold War up catastrophically a half century ago, a new study suggests. The U.S. Air Force began preparing for war on May 23, 1967, thinking that the Soviet Union had jammed a set of American surveillance radars. But military space-weather forecasters intervened in time, telling top officials that a powerful sun eruption was to blame, according to the study. “Had it not been for the fact that we had invested very early on in solar and geomagnetic storm observations and forecasting, the impact [of…

X Marks the Spot: Two Total Solar Eclipses in Seven Years

Admin, , ,

It’s been said that, on average, a total solar eclipse can be seen from the same place only once every 375 years. NATIONAL ECLIPSE The methodology used by whoever calculated this number is unknown and it’s debatable whether there can even be a definitive methodology for such a calculation. For instance, how many points on Earth do you use to arrive at an average number of years? But regardless of the math, there’s no denying the fact that a total solar eclipse is a relatively rare event for any given…

New Year’s Geomagnetic Storm

Admin,

NEW YEAR’S GEOMAGNETIC STORM: 2016 began with an explosion–not only of fireworks, but also auroras. On Jan. 1st, a G2-class geomagnetic storm sparked bright lights around the poles as revelers around the world were ringing in the New Year. In Glenfarg, Scotland, fireworks crackled against a backdrop of green: “Our neighbours let off some fireworks for the New Year,” says photographer Stuart Walker. “They were modest compared to the organized display in Edinburgh, but looked great alongside the ongoing aurora.” The storm was the result of a CME strike on…

Does the Sun and Solar Flares Affect Human Behavior?

Admin, , , ,

“Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense”. – Carl Sagan Does the sun and solar flares have an effect on earth and its people? Solar flares will begin to have a noticeable impact on all of us to some degree. You will literally feel the intensity emanating from the Sun as it pulsates through every cell of your body. Solar flare activity is getting more and more intense, and unless we wake up and realize they are…

Magnitude-4.2 Earthquake hits North of Oklahoma City

Admin, ,

A magnitude-4.2 earthquake hit north of Oklahoma City early Friday, the latest in a series of quakes that have rattled the state at an increasing rate in the past few years. There was no immediate word of injuries or damage after the quake hit around 5:40 a.m. Friday near Edmond, Okla. The quake was centered about 16 miles north of Oklahoma City. The increase in quakes in the state has been linked to oil and gas production, according to state and federal scientists. In 2012, the state experienced just a few dozen magnitude-3.0 or…

2016 Opens with Extreme Weather, Solar Storm

Admin, , ,

As 2015 fades into history, storms are triggering chaotic weather and causing severe destruction in parts of the globe. Here’s a closer look at areas most impacted: United States: Historic flooding in St. Louis, Mo., forced authorities to shut down a second major highway, Interstate 55, on Thursday morning. High water rushed southward, threatening more flooding in southern Missouri and Illinois,Tennessee and Mississippi. The flooding has left at least 20 people dead in Missouri and Illinois, mostly involving vehicles that drove onto swamped roadways. Flooding along the Mississippi, Illinois, Missouri,…

Solar Activity Could Cause Lightning Storms On Earth

Admin, , , ,

A link has been found between storms in the atmosphere of the sun and those here on Earth, but not in the direction expected. The discovery could improve weather forecasting and save the lives of people who might otherwise be trapped in the open during electrical events. The sun spits out charged particles that hit our atmosphere two to four days later at 1.5-.2.7million kph, but it does not do so evenly. “The solar wind is not continuous, it has slow and fast streams. Because the Sun rotates, these streams…

Solar storms could cause power disruptions

Admin, ,

A rare solar flare erupted from the sun on December 28 and is headed toward Earth at millions of miles per hour. The storm could create problems with technology while putting on an atmospheric show for some. Scientists are on watch for the G3 level geomagnetic storm which is expected to hit Earth Wednesday and last through New Year’s Eve. “The G3 is level three on a scale of one to six of geomagnetic activity,” said Terry Onsager, a physicist with the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center. “That’s a measure…

Cycles of War or Peace are Tied to Cycles of the Sun

Admin, , , , , , ,

by Dr. Buryl Payne – National Council on Geocosmic Research A growing number of scientists, health care professionals, and concerned citizens argue that these invisible frequencies are responsible for a host of various health problems. Meanwhile, the largest polluter has gone unnoticed: the Sun. At certain times, the Sun’s activity can also aggravate mental health problems. Every 10-11 years, the number of sunspots found on our closest star rise from 0 (as it is currently in 2008) to a high of over 400. While the sunspots themselves don’t affect Earth,…
