Satellite Data Reveals 2024 Solar Storm Gannon Shrunk Earth’s Plasma Shield to One-Fifth Size
What happened during the 2024 solar storm known as Gannon In late 2024, a powerful solar storm named Gannon unleashed a barrage of charged particles toward Earth. While such storms are not uncommon, scientists were surprised by the extent of the impact on Earth’s protective layers. Data from multiple satellites indicates that the storm compressed…

Earth’s Magnetic Heartbeat Reverses: Scientists Uncover a Surprising Twist
New Findings Shake Long-Standing Beliefs About Earth’s Magnetic Field Scientists studying Earth’s magnetic field have reported a surprising twist: the electric heartbeat that powers our planet’s magnetosphere appears to flow in the opposite direction from what long-standing models predicted. This discovery challenges traditional ideas about how the geodynamo—the natural convection currents in the molten iron…

Remote volcano wakes up after 700,000 years of silence
New Signs from a Distant Volcano A remote volcano in southeastern Iran has begun to show measurable movement after an almost unfathomable stretch of dormancy — about 700,000 years. In the latest 10-month window, the summit has nudged upward by roughly 9 centimeters (about 3.5 inches). While that rise may seem modest, scientists say it…

Remote Iranian Volcano Awakens: A 700,000-Year Silence Ends
Summary: A Quiet Giant Wakes A volcano in southeastern Iran has shown measurable uplift after nearly 700,000 years of dormancy. Using satellite data, researchers have detected a rise of about 3.5 inches (9 centimeters) over ten months. While the movement might seem modest, it signals potential pressure changes beneath the surface, prompting scientists to monitor…

Kanlaon Volcano Emission: Ash Plume Rises on Negros Island
Overview of the Incident Kanlaon Volcano on Negros Island produced a brief ash emission on Sunday morning, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS). The eruption lasted 12 minutes, beginning at 7:30 a.m. and ending at 7:42 a.m. The event marked another chapter in the ongoing volcanic activity monitored around this active…

Deep Earth’s Quiet Aftermath: Why Seismic Healing Persists Longer at Mid- crust Depths
Introduction: The Hidden Timeline of Post-Seismic Deformation Earthquakes grab headlines with dramatic ruptures and surface destruction, but the story of how the Earth settles after a quake runs much deeper. Post-seismic deformation refers to the slow adjustment of rocks around an earthquake as new stresses redistribute after the initial rupture. While society tends to focus…
