(Natural News) An international team of researchers suggests that low solar activity and the reversal of the magnetic field together may have cataclysmic effects that can spell the end of life. In a study recently published in the journal Science, the researchers detailed how the decline of the archaic Neanderthals and extinction of megafauna may be linked to the solar minimum a long […]

(Natural News) One of the most common problems you may face during a survival scenario is the lack of electricity or communication. With the power out and no working cell phone in sight, things may get a little challenging when SHTF. This is why it is important to have electronics as part of your survival […]

(Natural News) The sun unleashed a powerful solar flare after one of its sunspots erupted late Monday, April 19. It released a pulse of X-rays and ultraviolet rays toward Earth, ionizing the top of the atmosphere and causing a shortwave radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean. Mariners and ham radio operators in the area might have noticed unusual […]

(Natural News) A study published in the Astrophysical Journal suggests that the sun can unleash a massive burst of energy called a “superflare” within this century. Such an event can knock down the power grid and satellites, pushing society to the brink of collapse. “Our study shows that superflares are rare events,” said Yuta Notsu, an astronomer currently performing research […]

(Natural News) The sun has uncorked its biggest solar flare in more than three years, erupting on Nov. 29 with an enormous release of plasma and a magnetic field called a coronal mass ejection. SpaceWeather reported that the solar flare registered as an M4.4 on the scale used to measure solar storms. Solar flares, which are sudden, bright explosions of […]

(Natural News) An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event is one of the most catastrophic scenarios preppers can ever face.  This is especially true in today’s world, where almost every tool and technology requires electricity to function. Fortunately, there are ways you can prepare for such an event. The worst kind of EMP event you can face […]

(Natural News) A massive Earth-facing sunspot was detected earlier this August, raising concerns over the possibility of solar flares. Experts project that the sunspot, part of the cluster tagged as AR2770, is going to grow in size — its dark primary core is already estimated to be about the diameter of Mars. Amateur astronomer Martin Wise of Trenton, […]

(Natural News) If you’ve dabbled in the art of prepping and browsed articles on the subject, then you’ve probably come across the term EMP, or electromagnetic pulse. And while the concept and mechanics behind an electromagnetic pulse attack might seem like something straight out of a science fiction novel, the threat is very real —albeit one that […]

(Natural News) Decades of innovation and technological advancement have led to a society that relies heavily on electronic gadgets. These electronics play a role in almost every aspect of human life and are vital to the survival of some individuals. Now, imagine all of that technology disappearing in the blink of an eye. That is what […]

(Natural News) Many stars out in space are much smaller and colder than the sun. But these small celestial bodies may still unleash stellar flares that dwarf the mightiest solar flares known to man. Researchers have recently detected a white-light superflare from a star around the size of Jupiter. It is the coolest and smallest […]
