Northern lights could get a boost from the spring equinox this weekend — here's why

Incoming solar storms could spark auroras this weekend and thanks to the spring equinox, Earth is perfectly aligned to amplify the show.

Solar flares may be triggering earthquakes, controversial study claims

Researchers have proposed that changes in Earth's ionosphere could trigger electrical forces that nudge fragile areas of the crust into creating an earthquake.

First maps of the #sun’s outer boundary may help predict #solarstorms
Data from inside the sun’s corona helped create a sharper picture than before
Maps of this boundary, known as the Alfvén critical surface, could help scientists better predict how solar activity affects satellites, human and animal health and atmospheric phenomena such as auroras.
