The paper suggests that solar flares disrupt Earth's magnetic field, which, in turn, causes changes in the upper atmosphere.
Webb has delivered the first detailed 3D view of Uranus’s upper atmosphere, uncovering glowing auroras, heat peaks thousands of kilometers high, and the powerful influence of its tilted magnetic field ...
Every winter, thousands of tourists travel to high-latitude regions like Scandinavia, Canada, and Alaska hoping to see the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. Vincent Ledvina, an aurora guide and Ph.D ...
Scientists have proposed a surprising connection between solar flares and earthquakes. When solar activity disturbs the ionosphere, it may generate electric fields that penetrate fragile fracture ...
The nation’s northern region has led the scientific quest to understand the aurora borealis. This summer, a 10,000-antenna ...
The Sun, through its distant activity, could contribute to earthquakes. A theoretical study examines this unexpected idea. It ...
Researchers say a deadly earthquake in Japan and 2023’s most powerful solar flare occurring back-to-back can’t be a ...
A new study introduces a global probabilistic forecasting model that predicts when and where ionospheric disturbances—measured by the Rate of total electron content (TEC) Index (ROTI)—are likely to ...
For weeks now, social media has been buzzing with claims that Earth’s “heartbeat” is surging, and that those spikes are ...
Strange spikes in the Earth's natural vibrations may be causing many to lose sleep, have brain fog, and have painful ringing ...
