(Natural News) An international team of researchers suggests that low solar activity and the reversal of the magnetic field together may have cataclysmic effects that can spell the end of life. In a study recently published in the journal Science, the researchers detailed how the decline of the archaic Neanderthals and extinction of megafauna may be linked to the solar minimum a long […]

(Natural News) Global positioning system (GPS) satellites are extremely vulnerable to massive solar storms due to their location in space. If they go down, GPS-dependent infrastructure such as electric grids, financial market systems and public transportation will go down as well. The combined failure of these can very well bring America’s collapse, yet the country still hasn’t built a backup GPS […]

(Natural News) The sun entered a new 11-year cycle in December 2019 to end its “quiet phase.” The new solar cycle, which is the 25th since record-keeping began, is expected to be more or less like the cycle that preceded this one: fairly weak and with a peak sunspot number below the average of 179. But […]

(Natural News) A sunspot unleashed a chain of solar flares last Saturday, May 22, jamming radio signals over North America and Southeast Asia and potentially causing a disturbance to Earth’s magnetic field. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) recorded a total of 12 solar flares erupting from sunspot AR2824 within a day. Ten of those were weak and had few noticeable consequences while […]

(Natural News) The sun unleashed a powerful solar flare after one of its sunspots erupted late Monday, April 19. It released a pulse of X-rays and ultraviolet rays toward Earth, ionizing the top of the atmosphere and causing a shortwave radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean. Mariners and ham radio operators in the area might have noticed unusual […]

(Natural News) A study published in the Astrophysical Journal suggests that the sun can unleash a massive burst of energy called a “superflare” within this century. Such an event can knock down the power grid and satellites, pushing society to the brink of collapse. “Our study shows that superflares are rare events,” said Yuta Notsu, an astronomer currently performing research […]

(Natural News) Hundreds of dolphins and whales are recently washing up dead on different shores across the world in what might be an ominous sign of the times. Experts are still investigating the cause of death, but there is speculation that intense solar activity and Earth’s weakening magnetic field likely contributed to the deaths. Mass die-offs in the […]

(Natural News) The Air Force took the first steps to guard one of its Texas bases against an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack. Officials at the Joint Base San Antonio in Lackland issued a request for bids to inspect a facility called the Petroleum, Oil and Lubrication Complex, LiveScience reported. The inspection is intended to identify any equipment […]

(Natural News) With the dawn of a new year, those who survived the hardships of 2020 may have to brace themselves for even more to come in 2021. French astrologer and philosopher Michel De Nostradamus has some dire forecasts for the new year, including a zombie apocalypse, a famine of biblical proportions and a spate of […]

(Natural News) A massive Earth-facing sunspot was detected earlier this August, raising concerns over the possibility of solar flares. Experts project that the sunspot, part of the cluster tagged as AR2770, is going to grow in size — its dark primary core is already estimated to be about the diameter of Mars. Amateur astronomer Martin Wise of Trenton, […]
