Could ionospheric disturbances influence earthquakes? Researchers at Kyoto University explored how disturbances in the ionosphere exert electrostatic forces within Earth’s crust. They found that such forces potentially contribute to the initiation of large earthquakes under specific conditions. The coincidence of strong solar flare activity with the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake supports the hypothesis that ionosphericContinue reading “Ionosphere Linked to Earthquakes”

First Gen SigInt Sat Declassified
The NRO has declassified JUMPSEAT, the U.S.’s first-generation signals-collection satellite, which operated from 1971 to 1987. Developed under Project EARPOP, it collected critical electronic emissions and intelligence during the Cold War. The data supported national security agencies, showcasing the NRO’s ongoing commitment to innovation in space for national safety.
“Full Halo” CME Headed to Earth
Solar atmospheric blast erupted from the sun on Saturday. Expected to impact Earth’s magnetic field later today. The impressive full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME) blasted X-rays and material into space. Sky watchers may see aurora as far south as Illinois. https://www.space.com/stargazing/auroras/northern-lights-may-be-visible-in-these-18-us-states-sept-1-2-2025 Actual X-rays, CME – Aurora Watch
