Large Earthquake Occurs During Largest Magnetic Storm in Two Years
The largest magnetic storm in two years, which hit Earth on Tuesday, is no joke, Russian scientists warned, saying that increased solar activity threatens electronics and people’s health. The phenomenon may divert spacecraft from their orbit and create problems for satellite communications and GPS navigation, the Laboratory of X-Ray Astronomy at the Lebedev Institute of the Russian Academy of Science … Continue reading
Christian Scientist Ponders the Impact of Coming Magnetic Pole Flip
In February, scientists updated the coordinates of the magnetic North Pole a year ahead of schedule after finding that it has been accelerating on its way from Canada to Siberia. The news has prompted scholars to consider what will occur when Earth faces a geomagnetic pole reversal, i.e. the flipping of the position of the magnetic north and south. Dr … Continue reading

Earth is Struck by 17 Meteorites Everyday
Every year, the Earth is hit by about 6100 meteors large enough to reach the ground, or about 17 every day, research has revealed. The vast majority fall unnoticed, in uninhabited areas. But several times a year, a few land in places that catch more attention. Three months ago, for example, a small asteroid probably about the size of a … Continue reading
Geomagnetic ‘Jerks’ Responsible for Weakening Magnetic Field, Scientists WARN
“The scientific community received a bit of a scare recently amid reports that Earth’s magnetic field was weakening, perhaps dangerously so, following news earlier this year that the magnetic North Pole was leaving the Canadian Arctic and heading to Russia’s Siberia at an accelerated pace.” via Sputniknews: A new study claims to have solved a mystery that has left scientists … Continue reading
Mini Ice Age Possible, Indicated by Record High Cosmic Rays Entering Earth’s Atmosphere
The solar minimum is well and truly here after scientists recorded an all-time high in cosmic rays, meaning Earth could face a ‘mini Ice Age’. Some ten years ago, scientists noticed an all-time high in cosmic rays – rays which originate from deep space, not to be confused with solar rays. Now, scientists have noticed cosmic rays are back on … Continue reading

Scientists Identify Almost 2 Million ‘Hidden’ Earthquakes Shaking California
California is notorious for its earthquakes, but a stunning new discovery reveals for the first time just how much we’ve underestimated its omnipresent earth-shaking potential. By the time you just about finish reading this story, in fact, Southern California will probably have experienced another quake – based off a new, unprecedented deep dive into 10 years’ worth of seismic data, … Continue reading
An Interstellar Visitor Collided with Earth in 2014
Scientists have revealed that a meteor from another star system may have collided with the Earth 5 years ago. There was much excitement in the scientific community when in October 2017 astronomers spotted the first confirmed interstellar object – a space rock known as ‘Oumuamua. Now a new study by two researchers from Harvard University has put forward the intriguing … Continue reading
