Imelda intensified into a hurricane Tuesday and began to turn away from the Southeast coast, joining its twin Hurricane Humberto in churning up dangerous surf, rip currents, coastal flooding and beach erosion along the East Coast. Bermuda faces a rare one-two punch from the storms, as Hurricane Humberto brushes by the archipelago Tuesday followed by a direct hit from Imelda. …

More solar storms striking Earth could lead to a dramatic rise in heart attacks, according to concerning new data on disturbances to the planet’s magnetic field. Researchers from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) in Brazil found that women had nearly three times more heart attacks on days when geomagnetic storms struck the planet’s invisible shield. Earth’s magnetic field is created by the …

We live on a planet wrapped in a magnetic shield that waxes and wanes with solar activity. Most days, that quiet background barely draws notice. Some days, it fluctuates more strongly. The study behind this article asked a simple question: when Earth’s magnetic field gets unsettled, as it does during solar storms, is there a direct correlation to the number …

The sun has been unusually active lately, and the increase in solar activity is raising concerns among scientists. After nearly 20 years of quiet, the sun has begun to ramp up its behavior, with powerful solar winds and intense solar storms that could affect everything from power grids to communication systems, the Daily Mail reported. A surprise change in solar …

Our sun has unexpectedly begun to ramp up its activity, which could lead to more severe solar storms that cause blackouts and disrupt global communications. NASA revealed that our solar system‘s home star had been getting quieter and weaker for about 20 years, but that surprisingly changed in 2008 and scientists are still trying to figure out why. Scientists found that …

Faith Kipyegon stormed to a historic fourth world 1500m title as the Kenyan great extended her streak of dominance with a fifth consecutive global gold in the event.

After securing her third consecutive Olympic …

In mid-September, a new wave of solar activity is expected. Scientists predict magnetic storms between September 15 and 20, 2025, which may affect the well-being of weather-sensitive people. During these days, fluctuations in blood pressure, headaches, and fatigue are likely, specifically in those with cardiovascular problems. We have gathered the forecast, the most dangerous dates, and doctors’ advice on how …
