Top Geophysicist: “If the Magnetic Poles Flip, Humanity Could Be DONE For”

In this eye-opening interview, geophysicist Stefan Burns breaks down the real risks of a geomagnetic pole reversal. Earth’s magnetic field protects us from harmful solar and cosmic radiation, but during a flip, it weakens significantly—potentially exposing technology, infrastructure,

Sun releases the largest solar radiation storm ‘in over 20 years,’ forecasters say

By Ashley Strickland, January 19, 2026

"Powerful solar activity released by the sun is heading for Earth and it’s likely to create dazzling auroral displays in unexpected areas Monday evening and early Tuesday morning. It could also disrupt #satellite-based communications and #GPS accuracy.

"A solar radiation storm, ranked at a level four out of five on a severity scale, is being tracked by the National Weather Service’s Space Weather Prediction Center, or #SWPC.

" 'An #S4 severe #SolarRadiation storm is now in progress - this is the largest solar radiation storm in over 20 years,' SWPC shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. 'The last time S4 levels were observed was in October, 2003. Potential effects are mainly limited to space launch, aviation, and satellite operations.' "

Planes grounded after #Airbus discovers #SolarRadiation could impact #systems

Theo Leggett and Yang Tian, BBC News, December 5, 2025

Excerpt: "Airbus discovered that, at high altitudes, its data could be corrupted by intense radiation released periodically by the Sun.

"That led to the October incident in which an aircraft suddenly lost altitude - though the manufacturer said this was the only time an incident of its kind had occurred."

#Chitonida (#Mollusca) exist since the #Cambrian. Bodies are covered with #calcareous #plates, flexibly connected. Most feed on vegetation cover. The #CambrianExplosion made based i.a. on #oxygen significant leaps in #animalevolution. Y. Zhang et al.

**🚨 Airbus triệu hồi khẩn 6.000 máy bay A320 vì lỗi nguy hiểm!**

Airbus vừa ra thông báo cập nhật khẩn cấp cho 6.000 chiếc A320 do phát hiện bức xạ Mặt Trời có thể gây nhiễu dữ liệu hệ thống điều khiển chuyến bay. Cục Hàng không Việt Nam cùng các hãng hàng không đã họp khẩn xuyên đêm để xử lý sự cố.
