Sunspot unleashes M-Class Solar Flares; Big crack found in Earth’s magnetic field

[ad_1] The Sun has become quite violent due to its Solar Cycle 29. Therefore, Earth is in for a rough ride until then. Just days after volatile solar activity caused radio blackouts over North and South America due to an unstable Sunspot, NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has observed another new Sunspot which is hurling out dangerous M-Class Solar Flares, as reported by spaceweather.com.According to the report, a new Sunspot on the solar surface has been observed. The Sunspot, called AR3242 is hurling out dangerous M-Class Solar Flares. M-class flares are medium-sized flares, but they can cause brief radio blackouts. The new Sunspot was observed by David Leong in Singapore who pointed the telescope at the solar surface and saw an explosion. Leong told spaceweather.com, “AR3242 was...

Earth’s core stopped, started spinning in the opposite direction! Planet in crisis?

[ad_1] The Earth's core may well have stopped and it has even changed direction, says this new study. Earth is composed of four main layers, starting with an inner core at the planet's center, enveloped by the outer core, mantle, and right on top is the crust. The inner core is a solid sphere made of iron and nickel metals about 1221 kilometers (about the distance from Florida to New York City) in radius, according to NASA. It is the innermost layer of our planet, and it plays a crucial role in maintaining the planet's overall stability and magnetic field. Even though it is deep beneath the Earth's surface, the core is an integral part of the planet. However, there might be cause for concern as a study reveals it may have stopped and started spinning in the opposite direction.The team...

Earth’s magnetic field TALKS! Listen to the HORRIFYING sound

[ad_1] Ever wondered what the protective layer of Earth, the magnetic field, sounds like? Now you can hear it. Check the spooky sound now. The Earth has been blessed with a magnetic field layer, also known as the magnetosphere, which makes life possible on Earth. Yes, while the presence of air, water and atmosphere is a primary requisite, the magnetosphere does an important job of protecting the Earth. It protects Earth from any harmful radiation, electromagnetic fields coming from other celestial bodies, coronal mass ejection (CME) and adverse effects of solar storms and much more. And scientists have always been fascinated by it. Now, in an attempt to understand it further, researchers have collaborated with musicians and artists to give it a voice. Know what the Earth's magnetic fi...

Terrifying! When solar storm slammed into Earth and made magnetic field explode; LISTEN

[ad_1] The sound of Earth's magnetic field after a solar storm strike is really scary. The European Space Agency has released the same. Listen now. Do you want to know how Earth's magnetic field sounds after a solar storm strike? It is terrifying! It happened just a couple of days ago and you can listen to the scary sound today. The European Space Agency (ESA) has released an audio track of converted data which provides a disturbing sonic representation of the Earth's magnetic field. It can be known that the Earth's magnetic field is not something we can actually see in itself, or ever hear. However, scientists at the Technical University of Denmark have taken magnetic signals measured by ESA's Swarm satellite mission and converted them into sound after the solar storm strike – and th...

Scary sound of Earth’s magnetic field is shocking; just LISTEN now

[ad_1] Scientists have collaborated with artists and musicians to bring the spooky sound of Earth's magnetic field to you. You can listen to it here. Do you know Earth's magnetic field makes a sound? Yes, it does! And a scary sound at that. And most definitely it is not the sound of silence. A team of scientists have collaborated with artists and musicians to reveal the spooky sound of the Earth's magnetic field. The magnetic field actually plays an important role in Earth's habitability. It's the "ocean of superheated, swirling liquid iron" within the Earth that shields the planet from harmful cosmic and solar radiation. However, it is not something that we get to hear when it interacts with the charged particles. But we do see auroras when charged particles from the Sun interact wit...

Sun is acting STRANGE! A sunspot with Weird magnetic field spotted; Is another solar storm coming?

[ad_1] A perpendicular sunspot with its magnetic field rotated by 90 degrees was spotted on the Earth-facing solar disk. This is a very unusual sight and has scientists confused. Can this be the onset of a massive solar storm? As we near the peak of the 25th solar cycle of the Sun, which is due in 2023, the Sun is behaving more erratically. The increasing number of sunspots have been showing signs of peculiarity lately. Just a couple of days ago, we witnessed a sunspot which grew 10 times in size and became a part of a dual sunspot cluster. And today, a new sunspot has been observed which is displaying a very peculiar magnetic field. Instead of horizontal magnetic fields, this sunspot has them vertically, rotated at 90-degree...
