Massive Sunspot Complex on the Sun Raises Risk of Strong Solar Storms
A massive sunspot complex has appeared on the Sun, covering an area comparable to the legendary Carrington Event region. Known as AR 4294-96, the active cluster features highly tangled magnetic fields that could unleash powerful solar flares and geomagnetic storms, potentially disrupting satellites, power grids, and global communications if Earth-d...

NASA’s GRACE Satellites Reveal Hidden Deep-Earth Process Behind Gravity Disturbance
Scientists have discovered a mysterious gravity signal detected by satellites nearly 20 years ago, which is linked to deep mantle changes beneath the Earth’s surface. The anomaly, lasting two years, coincided with a magnetic “jerk”, suggesting a rapid mass shift near the planet’s core.

Solar Storm From Hidden Magnetic Island on the Sun Surprises Scientists
In mid-September 2025, a “secret” magnetic island inside a solar coronal hole triggered a powerful G3 storm. The surprise event sent dazzling auroras across North America, seen as far south as Illinois. Researchers say the rare polarity patch intensified solar winds, making aurora season’s start spectacular.

Cannibal Solar Storm May Trigger Auroras as Powerful Geomagnetic Storm to Hit Earth Soon
Between Sept. 1–2, Earth will be struck by a powerful geomagnetic storm caused by a rare “cannibal” solar eruption. The event formed when a fast coronal mass ejection (CME) overtook and consumed an earlier one, creating a stronger, chaotic cloud. As this storm interacts with Earth’s magnetic field, it may produce vivid auroras visible far b...
