Earth’s Magnetic Field Being Weakened by Unexplained Anomaly
The ESA has deployed its constellation of satellites to investigate unusual weaknesses in Earth’s magnetic field. It appears that the strange anomaly believed to be responsible is now evolving and splitting in two. The unexplained force, referred to as the South Atlantic Anomaly, is an area of reduced magnetic intensity that extends from South America to southwest Africa. For now, … Continue reading
Meteor Fireball or Space Debris Lights up Night Sky Brightly over Spokane, Washington
A bright flash of light caught on many Spokane security cameras Thursday night was likely a small meteor or fireball, area astronomers say. The flashes of light, seen by many locals and captured on many dash and front-door cameras, occurred just before midnight Thursday. Videos posted on the American Meteor Society’s website show it disappearing after a few seconds. David … Continue reading
Earth’s Weakening Magnetic Field Causing Disturbances in Earth Orbiting Satellites
In an area stretching from Africa to South America, Earth’s magnetic field is gradually weakening. This strange behaviour has geophysicists puzzled and is causing technical disturbances in satellites orbiting Earth. Scientists are using data from ESA’s Swarm constellation to improve our understanding of this area known as the ‘South Atlantic Anomaly.’ Earth’s magnetic field is vital to life on our … Continue reading
Potentially Troubling Sign on Halema‘uma‘u Crater on Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii
“We do not want to be alarmist, but we also need to point out to the public that there is an increasing possibility of explosive eruptions at Kilauea,” said Swanson. via AccuWeather: The Halema‘uma‘u crater on Kilauea, located in Hawaii, has been relatively quiet over the last year after a frenzy of activity in 2018, which all began with an … Continue reading
Increase in Freezing Weather, Famine and Earthquakes Possible as Sun Enters Solar Minimum
“NASA scientists fear it could be a repeat of the Dalton Minimum, which happened between 1790 and 1830 — leading to periods of brutal cold, crop loss, famine and powerful volcanic eruptions.” The sun has entered a ‘lockdown’ period, which could cause freezing weather, famine Our sun has gone into lockdown, which could cause freezing weather, earthquakes and famine, scientists … Continue reading
Meteor Fireball Seen over Parts of Southeast US
A fireball and bright flash were reported across portions of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas early Thursday morning. A bright flash was seen by some in the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry around 12:45 a.m. The sight was even captured by some home security cameras. Several reports were logged by the American Meteor Society (AMS). Fireballs, shootings stars, etc. are fairly … Continue reading
6.5-magnitude Earthquake Hits Nevada
A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 6.5 struck a remote, sparsely populated area of Nevada about halfway between Reno and Las Vegas early on Friday, the U.S. Geological Survey said In Nye County, at the epicentre of the quake, a sheriff’s dispatcher said there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties. But later the Nevada Department of Transportation … Continue reading
Golden Gate Bridge Sized Asteroid Approaching Earth at 11 km/s
Of the several space rocks expected to cross paths with earth this month, the largest and potentially most dangerous is the Apollo-class 1997 BQ asteroid. Researchers believe that any space objects measuring close to one kilometre in diameter could have devastating consequences for our planet. “Any rocks that are close to one kilometre in size can be potentially dangerous to … Continue reading
Earth’s Mean Temperature Falling, Planetary Alignment Possible Explanation for 11-Yr Cycle
The global mean temperature in April 2020 was again significantly lower than in February and March, at 0.38°C above the average from 1981 to 2010. The average temperature increase on the globe from 1981 to February 2020 was 0.14°C per decade. The further development promises to be interesting, especially since a number of research institutes expect a higher probability of … Continue reading
Slow Moving Fireball Seen over Parts of Spain and Portugal
Residents of Portugal spotted a bright fiery object streaking across the sky over the country. Based on reports by eyewitnesses, it seems a small asteroid entered Earth’s atmosphere and turned into a meteor fireball over Portugal. Details of the incident were reported by the American Meteor Society (AMS). According to the organization, the fireball incident was spotted by eyewitnesses from … Continue reading
