‘Monster’ explosions on the sun will ‘become more common’, Nasa warns
The sun will be rocked by an increased number of gigantic ‘monster’ explosions in the coming years, Nasa has warned. METRO Eruptions from the face of our star are called ‘prominences’ and cause vast amounts of superhot gas to shoot into space, often forming beautiful loops on the solar surface. The sun is about to reach a low point of activity called the solar minimum when the number of flares and sunspots and flares is dramatically reduced. Climate change deniers are known to hail this stage of the sun’s natural…

Studying a Solar Storm From 1972 Unlocks Vietnam War Mystery
COLORADO.EDU According to documents from the the Vietnam War, scientists observed an enormous solar storm about 15 hours befores the mines detonated. On Aug. 4, 1972, U.S. military pilots flying south of Haiphong harbor in North Vietnam saw something unexpected. More than two dozen sea mines suddenly—and without apparent explanation—exploding in the water. Now, CU Boulder engineering professor Delores Knipp and her colleagues have dug into this four-decades-old naval mystery. In a commentary published recently in the journal Space Weather, the team reports that the mines were likely triggered by magnetized gas…

Will Geomagnetic Reversal Effects Cause a Worldwide Blackout?
Geomagnetic reversal effects are natural and spectacular, but they could also destroy the world as we know it. ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED BY NORTHROP GRUMAN While that may sound dramatic, renowned science journalist Alanna Mitchell’s book “The Spinning Magnet“ revealed that the next time Earth’s magnetic field flips, it could seriously damage the electric infrastructure that defines our modern civilization. What is an Electromagnetic Field? While magnetism is fascinating, it has also been historically misunderstood. According to Physics.org, Earth’s magnetic field exists because the planet’s solid iron core is surrounded by liquid metal. According…

Solar Storms Eroding Moon and Mercury
VIOLENT solar winds are eroding the Moon and Mercury, according to a new study, which found atoms can hit them at 800km per second. EXPRESS.CO.UK Solar winds, which are a stream of particles from solar flares released by the sun, constantly bombard celestial beings in the solar system. Planets such as Earth which have an atmosphere are largely protected form the bombardment, but for the likes of the Moon, which are atmosphere-free, solar particles are shattering rocks. TU Wien, a university in Vienna, has released results of a study which…

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

Magnitude-4.2 Earthquake hits North of Oklahoma City
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…
