Crackling

One of Europe’s newest satellites is already putting in work. The Meteosat-12, which is run by the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), has captured a new and stunning video of lightning crackling across the sky over Africa and Europe. The video was captured roughly 22,000 miles above the Earth, and it showcases the flashing and flickering appearance that lightning exhibits from space. This new satellite is the first of its kind to provide this kind of lightning…

The Earth cannot catch a break from the Sun's wrath. It has been hours since the Earth has passed the coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud that sideswiped our planet, creating a very weak aurora display, and the Sun is preparing another onslaught.

This means it can soon erupt and send another wave of solar storm towards our planet. Check the details.The development was captured by Dr.…

After a glancing blow by coronal mass ejections (CME) on February 20, that produced a very weak solar storm, it was expected that the Sun would be quiet for a while.

In the last 24 hours, it has also produced multiple M-class solar flare eruptions, which have resulted in radio blackouts all across the planet. As the Earth struggles with this ordeal, there are…

Apple's AirPods Pro can sometimes crackle, but there's usually a good fix depending on the cause of the issue. I first became aware of this issue when my wife complained of an odd sound coming from her AirPods Pro whenever she moved her jaw.
