(Natural News) A new study published on March 24 in Nature Astronomy has found a new set of waves on the Sun’s surface that don’t fit current theories. Known as “high-frequency retrograde (HFR) waves,” the newly-detected waves travel in the opposite direction of the Sun’s rotation and emerge as a pattern of vortices on the Sun’s […]

(Natural News) The past few weeks have been a pretty busy time for the sun. February has been a heavy month of solar activity so far, with the solar system’s star discharging two massive explosions from its far side (facing away from Earth). A brilliant coronal mass ejection (CME) that extended millions of miles into space […]

(Natural News) Global positioning system (GPS) satellites are extremely vulnerable to massive solar storms due to their location in space. If they go down, GPS-dependent infrastructure such as electric grids, financial market systems and public transportation will go down as well. The combined failure of these can very well bring America’s collapse, yet the country still hasn’t built a backup GPS […]

(Natural News) The sun entered a new 11-year cycle in December 2019 to end its “quiet phase.” The new solar cycle, which is the 25th since record-keeping began, is expected to be more or less like the cycle that preceded this one: fairly weak and with a peak sunspot number below the average of 179. But […]

(Natural News) A sunspot unleashed a chain of solar flares last Saturday, May 22, jamming radio signals over North America and Southeast Asia and potentially causing a disturbance to Earth’s magnetic field. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) recorded a total of 12 solar flares erupting from sunspot AR2824 within a day. Ten of those were weak and had few noticeable consequences while […]

(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) Scientists can take a better look at the Sun after a European team of researchers upgraded a solar telescope called GREGOR, located at the Teide Observatory in the Canary Islands. Recent observations using the telescope offer a spectacular, unprecedented glimpse into the Sun’s surface. An image captured magnetic structures, which resembled the craggy, golden texture of […]

(Natural News) Despite its age, our Sun still packs quite a punch. In a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal, an international team of astronomers found that the Sun is still capable of producing superflares, which are powerful bursts of radiation capable of frying communication lines and triggering large-scale blackouts. They can also cause […]

(Natural News) What do geoengineering and taking drugs have in common? The parallels aren’t immediately obvious, but once you take a look at the potential ramifications of the process, it’s pretty easy to see how it will slowly but surely kill the planet. Many people start taking drugs in hopes of improving their physical or […]
