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.

The science behind why some auroras have such stunning wave patterns

Auroras, shimmering bands of light that shoot through the night sky near the Earth’s poles, can follow patterns known as arcs
