Danger

With Earth going through the Vernal Equinox, solar activity is impacting the planet with increasing frequency. As we approach the solar maximum, it is only expected to increase further.

This CME was hurled towards Earth and a potential solar storm danger arose. Now, forecasters have revealed that the CME has indeed impacted Earth and a geomagnetic storm alert has…

That needs to change. We have public conversations about whether we should fly on holiday and use the carbon to go to Malaga or wherever, but there’s no…

The First Street Foundation study points out that insurers could offer discounts to homeowners who take steps to fortify their homes, which would help make disasters less damaging. Moore said Florida once was a leader when it came to measures like building codes, although that has changed in recent years. The state also had lacked a disclosure policy requiring property owners to share a property’s flood history with buyers and renters.Another bill would compel landlords to inform tenants that they live in a flood zone,…

Like Oscar Isaac‘s Moon Knight, for example. Well, don’t look now, Oscar, but it seems like someone might be about to pinch your all-important role in Marvel lore.

In a sea of bright pink feathers, soft trills emerge. A male flamingo rubs its beak against the grey-tufted head of its newly hatched offspring. But the clock is ticking, and the chick and its father must listen closely and learn each other's voices quickly. Within 10 days of a flamingo chick hatching, its parents will fly off to find food, while the chick stays behind with the other juveniles under the supervision of a few adults. When the parents return, babies and parents must find each other among their flock.…

In the last week of February, the Sun turned volatile and hurled out 3 dangerous X-class solar flares in the span of just 24 hours. One of these flares was the strongest one recorded since 2017 and certainly the highest in intensity in the current solar cycle 25. As we move towards the peak of this cycle, solar activity is expected to ramp up, resulting in potential CMEs, filament eruptions, solar storms, solar flares and geomagnetic storms. Forecasters have recently revealed details about a solar storm danger as a CME…
