X-Class Solar Flare From Emerging Sunspot Causes Radio Blackouts
An unexpected X1.1-class solar flare erupted from sunspot AR4046, triggering shortwave radio blackouts over North and South America. The flare originated from the sun’s eastern limb and was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection that is not expected to impact Earth. Space weather experts have warned that the sunspot will face Earth in the coming ...

Massive Solar Flare Closes 2024 With Radio Blackouts and Auroral Possibilities
An X1.1-class solar flare on December 29, 2024, caused strong radio blackouts on Earth, marking another significant event in the increasingly active Solar Cycle 25. Detected by NOAA's GOES-16 satellite, the eruption raises questions about a potential coronal mass ejection, which could amplify auroras during New Year celebrations. While impactful, t...

Scientists Predict Under Sea Volcano Eruption Near Oregon Coast in 2025
Axial Seamount, an undersea volcano located off the coast of Oregon, is showing signs of an impending eruption, with scientists predicting it could occur as early as 2025. The volcano’s surface has been swelling, and seismic activity is increasing, both of which mirror patterns seen before previous eruptions. Researchers have been closely monitor...

Geologists Successfully Forecast Volcanic Eruption Five Months Before the Event Using Supercomputers
A team of geologists successfully forecasted a volcanic eruption in the Sierra Negra volcano five months before it took place using an upgraded supercomputer and strategic modelling program. The volcano forecasting modelling program was set up in 2017 by geology professor Patricia Gregg and her team.
