From Black Holes to Ancient Greece– Unravelling the Mysteries of the World’s First Computer

Another layer of mystery surrounding the ancient computer known as the Antikythera Mechanism has been decoded using, of all things, a technique developed for analyzing gravitational waves generated by the collision of black holes as they pass through the Earth. This analysis not only settles a long-standing issue with a previously-hidden unit of measurement used […]

The Sun’s Magnetic Fields Are Possibly Flipping, Meaning We May Have Reached Solar Maximum

One of the maverick solar physicists that changed the way we look at the behavior of the Sun says that we may already have reached the peak of the current solar cycle—bringing with it increased chances for stronger solar storms—as signaled by a complete flip of the Sun’s magnetic field. The current solar cycle, cycle 25, got […]

Revised Official Forecast for the Apex of Earth’s Current Solar Cycle Now In-Line With Maverick ‘Termination Event’ Prediction

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) has revised their forecast for the upcoming maximum for solar cycle 25, now expected to peak at some point before October of next year instead of sometime in 2025; additionally, next year’s maximum will be much “stronger” than what was previously expected. Although NOAA’s initial projection was accepted as […]

Strong X-Class Flares Mean the Sun is Back in Business

Despite expert predictions for a period of prolonged quiet for the Sun, solar cycle 25 has proven to be an active one, with 143 sunspots appearing on the Sun’s surface during February alone, and numerous solar flares erupting from the star’s surface—15 of them powerful X-class events—since the current cycle started in December 2019. One […]
