GB2RS News Sunday the 27th of July The news headlines: RSGB confirms more speakers for its Convention in October Get involved with the RSGB LoRa high-altitude balloon challenge The RSGB releases a high-contrast logbook to improve accessibility  The RSGB has shared details of more presentations that you can enjoy at its Convention in October. If you'd like to broaden your technical knowledge, you'll enjoy presentations by Bob Burns, G3OUU, on ‘Getting the most from an oscilloscope' and ‘Ladder crystal filter design'. As part of the Society's focus on supporting modern amateur radio operating practices, Paul Galwas, M0WLG, will be discussing ‘Can we ‘DX' over an IoT mesh?'. The comprehensive programme of speakers also includes Dr Marcus Walden, G0IJZ, who will explain the numerical modelling of the historical Grimeton VLF antenna, and Paul Beaumont, G7VAK, who will take ‘A brief look at Number Stations: 1950 to the present'. With even more captivating and thought-provoking speakers already confirmed, you'll need to purchase a ticket to guarantee attendance. Buy your tickets before Monday, the 11th of August, to ensure you receive early-bird ticket pricing. Tickets are available to purchase via rsgb.org/convention National Coding Week takes place in the third week of September, and the RSGB is once again dedicating a whole month to amateur radio and coding activities. As part of the Society's strategy to encourage practical skills development, it is inviting you to take part in its LoRa high-altitude balloon challenge. The project has been developed by the RSGB Outreach team and takes place on Saturday, the 20th of September. The balloon will be equipped with a LoRa digipeater, and your challenge is to follow the instructions provided and build a LoRa tracker. If your tracker build is successful, it will beam up packets to the airborne relay, which will transmit them to a local i-gate. Your goal is to get your signal the furthest distance from the launch. Anyone can enter, but to win one of the prizes, you need to be an RSGB member. Get involved as a single operator or as a team in your RSGB-affiliated club. The RSGB is delighted that Moonraker is sponsoring this event and will award a £200 Moonraker voucher to the winner of each category. Find out how to get involved with this exciting LoRa event by going to rsgb.org/lora-balloon The RSGB is proud to announce the release of a new high-contrast logbook designed to support amateur radio operators with visual impairments or learning difficulties. Responding to feedback from members and accessibility advocates, the RSGB developed the logbook with wider spacing and a high-contrast black-and-yellow design to improve ease of use. This release reflects the RSGB's wider commitment to improving accessibility across all areas of the Society and amateur radio as a whole. The organisation continues to explore ways to make the hobby more inclusive and user-friendly for all participants. This version will be available through Amazon and is expected to be a useful addition for both seasoned operators and newcomers looking for a more accessible logging option. As part of its long-term vision, the RSGB is looking to recruit a dedicated team to assess and enhance accessibility throughout the Society and help shape a more inclusive future for amateur radio. If you're interested in contributing to this important initiative, please email RSGB Board Director Nathan Nuttall, 2M0OCC, via 2m0occ@rsgb.org.uk Since the launch of its DMR project in May, the RSGB Outreach team is delighted that four schools and one homeschool have signed up. The project aims to help young people get on the air and build their confidence in making QSOs. Each of the successful applicants will be loaned a TYT DMR handheld radio and a Pi-Star-based hotspot. The RSGB Youth Chair and Youth Champion for Schools, Chris Aitken, MM0WIC, is supporting two new school amateur radio clubs that have chosen this as an entry-level activity for their club members. DMR is particularly useful in a school club scenario where antenna placement is a challenge and can be easily deployed, giving young people access to the world. During the summer holidays, the DMR handsets will be used at the West Sussex International Jamboree with Regional Representative 10, Simon Harris, G4WQG, attending the event and Wick High School Radio Club member Jacob, MM7IFL, supporting remotely via DMR. Listen out for further updates after the summer when the RSGB plans to get a youth net operational on Brandmeister Talk Group 23554. The net aims to encourage young operators to get on the air and become comfortable with QSO structure and general rag-chewing. If you want to start a school club or are interested in being part of the DMR project, email Chris via youthchampion.school@rsgb.org.uk The prospect of a USA constellation of 240 commercial satellites that would use 430 to 440MHz for wideband control and telemetry has prompted an unprecedented response from the amateur radio community to a Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, consultation. FCC Proceeding 25-201 would see AST SpaceMobile utilise much of 430 to 440MHz for downlinks, as well as a series of ground stations around the world. The RSGB and several other IARU member societies, along with the ARRL and over 2,000 individuals, have submitted comments to this consultation. The IARU itself has also issued a statement on the matter. Links for this, including the RSGB response, can be found on the RSGB website. Go to rsgb.org/spectrumforum and then choose the ‘Papers and consultations' option in the right-hand menu. Following the main submission deadline of the 21st of July, the FCC process has further phases to go through. Amateur radio operators are invited to take part in a special operating event in August, celebrating the rich history of the UK's wartime and Cold War airfield bunkers.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 24th of July It was a bit of a mixed bag last week. The first half saw settled geomagnetic conditions, but from the 22nd of July, we had a disturbance thanks to output from a solar coronal hole. This saw the Kp index rise to 4.67 and ultimately 5. The stream from the Sun reached around 730 kilometres per second, while the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field, or IMF, was mostly neutral with a few brief periods when it pointed slightly south. So, its effects were perhaps not as bad as they could have been. The coronal hole has now rotated out of view, so we may have some better days. Meanwhile, the solar flux index has been in the range of 140 to 150, which is pretty good. There were no M-class or higher solar flares over the past week, which is unusual. So overall, HF propagation was humming, at least until the Kp index hit 5. Maximum useable frequencies, or MUFs, over a 3,000km path during daylight continue to be around 21MHz, but often dip to 18MHz at times. Nighttime conditions can be variable. If the 14MHz band isn't open for you, try 10MHz. Earlier in the week, some daytime tests with WSPR on the 20m band saw stations logged from Australia and the far west of Canada. DP0POL, the Polarstern research vessel doing work in the Artic, was also logged. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index may decline slightly to be in the range of 130 to 135. Geomagnetic conditions are predicted to be settled until the 1st of August, when the Kp index could rise to 4. This period of unsettled conditions, with reduced MUFs, could last until the 4th of August. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO We will see the return of a weak ridge of high pressure today. This will last until the middle of the coming week. The second half of the week will be a little more unsettled with some occasional spells of rain. This suggests that some Tropo is possible, before a gradual swap over to rain scatter. However, high pressure near the Azores may still influence the western side of Britain. This week will see the peak of two meteor showers, the Alpha Capricornids and Delta Aquariids. These are worth checking out, if only to get your practice time in before one of the major showers of the year – the Perseids on the 12th and 13th of August. Barely a day passes without some auroral alert, and this can be an exciting mode. Several good indicators are available, such as when the Kp index is above 5, or watery-sounding signals on the 40 and 20m bands. If you hear these, try looking north on the 6, 4 or 2m bands. Sporadic-E continues to be mentioned on the clusters somewhere in Europe on most days. But remember that it's a very localised mode and is rarely available for everyone at the same time. The best way to track it down is to use the clusters and a good list of beacons, to see who your ‘locals' are working on FT8. It's a very hit-and-miss mode. Meteor activity is a good indicator, whereas a high Kp index is a bad one. Whether it happens is often a balance between many opposing components. So, even a potentially good day may not be good where you are. The good news is that the last openings of the summer can occur into the first week of September. Moon declination is still positive but going negative again on Tuesday, the 29th. Moon windows and peak elevation will reduce. Path losses are rising now as we are past perigee. 144MHz sky noise starts the coming week low but will rise to moderate by the weekend. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Shawn Dahl, the Service Coordinator at the Space Weather Prediction Center, says that geomagnetic storms have been running rampant in space and may be affecting agriculture.

Shawn Dahl, the Service Coordinator at the Space Weather Prediction Center, says that geomagnetic storms have been running rampant in space and may be affecting agriculture.

This year has seen an increase in storms, but not all of these storms are on earth. Geomagnetic storms have been running rampant in space and may be affecting agriculture. Shawn Dahl, the Service Coordinator at the Space Weather Prediction Center shares some of the effects these storms have on agriculture here in the US and some insight in work they are doing to help mitigate their effects for farmers. He says that in 2024, one of these storms that took place in May caused a $500,000,000 loss in the corn industry alone. They are working to be able to predict these storms and get the warning broadcasted to help minimize losses that may occur because of them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Geomagnetic storms have been occurring with more frequency this year, and it could be causing problems for production agriculture in unlikely areas. Ben Jarboe discusses it with Shawn Dahl, the service coordinator at the space weather prediction center. He says some of the effects these storms have on agriculture here in the US causes damage passersby may not see. For example, Dahl says that one storm last May caused a 500 million dollar loss in the corn industry alone. His goal now is to be able to predict these storms and have weather broadcasters spread the news to mitigate the losses they cause.Stu Muck says today won't be too bad with temps in the upper 80's. He cautions to get things done outside today because tomorrow everything changes.The Bureau of Land Management within The Department of the Interior is hosting its Online Corral auction featuring wild horses and donkeys. The online sale is July 14-21. One of the pick-up and adoption events is on Sept. 12-13 at the Ozaukee County Fairgrounds in Cedarburg. Jason Lutterman from the National Wild Horse and Burro Program tells Stephanie Hoff about this opportunity to provide a good home for a wild horse or donkey. Lutterman says these animals have gone on to be good workhorses, therapy companions, or show winners. Wild horses don't have any "bad habits" that previously trained horses may have. Donkeys are good guard animals for your existing herd.Buy the rumor, trade the fact. That seems to be where the commodity markets are living these days. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend says that without knowing if the Trump administration will really enforce threatened tariffs, they're forced to trade the rumor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 3rd of July 2025 It looks like the Space Weather Prediction Centre, which supplies the forecasts for NOAA, were overly cautious last week. Despite predicting geomagnetic disturbances, we had quite a calm week. The Kp index rose to 3.33 on a few occasions, but that was it. We ended up with settled geomagnetic conditions and a solar flux index in the 120s to 130s. A warning about the impact of a coronal mass ejection, or CME, which left the Sun on the 28th of June, appeared to come to nothing. This made a much-needed change to the unsettled conditions of previous weeks. As a result, maximum usable frequencies, or MUFs for short, over a 3,000km path have been above 21MHz at times. At night, MUFs over the same path have been consistently above 14MHz, which is normal for this time of year. In the summer, we can expect to see nighttime MUFs being consistently higher than in the winter, due to a change in ionospheric chemistry. Unfortunately, this also means that daytime MUFs are lower than in winter, leaving 28MHz open to Sporadic-E instead. According to DXMaps.com, it appears that most Sporadic-E openings on the 10m band have favoured the southeast of the UK towards Italy, Turkey and Greece. Back to F2-layer propagation now. On the 20m band, E51JD, operating from the South Cook Islands, was spotted on SSB by Laurie, G3UML, on Thursday morning. KH7AL/KH9 on Wake Island, and T30TTT on Kiribati, have also been worked on the 20m band using FT8. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will be in the 125 to 145 range. Geomagnetic conditions are predicted to be quiet, apart from the period around the 11th and 12th of July, when the Kp index may rise to 4. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO This hot weather has provided some nice marine Tropo around the coasts recently as hot, dry air advects across the cooler, moist surface layer. We have also been able to see the duct move inland in the evenings. The hybrid weather pattern of low pressure to the north of Britain and high pressure to the south will continue to produce some Tropo paths, particularly across the Channel, Biscay and North Sea.  Northern areas of Britain will see occasional fronts and active weather systems, together with breezier weather, making Tropo unlikely here. The higher pressure to the south means that rain scatter may not feature much unless isolated thunderstorms develop when weak weather fronts eventually reach these southern areas. In the north, it's a different matter, and there could be some heavier rain that might produce some rain scatter on the GHz bands. Meteor scatter did well during June with several important showers to boost chances. July offers two showers. The first is the low-hourly-rate Alpha Capricornids, and the second is the Delta Aquariids. Both of these peak around the 30th of July, so we have a while to wait. There have been some minor auroral events recently, and it's always possible that solar activity could lift the Kp index high enough, but we are not expecting great things. Keep a check on the Kp index at spaceweather.com  to see if anything is happening. The Sporadic-E season has had occasional good days, but for much of the time, the focus of activity has been too far into Europe for the whole country to take advantage of it. To begin the coming week, the position of the jet streams suggests paths to northern Europe and the Baltic will offer best results. Later in the week, the emphasis shifts to the Balkans and Italy, and then to Iberia. The Moon reaches apogee tomorrow, the 7th, where path losses are at their highest. Moon declination is negative all week, with the lowest, or the most negative, on Wednesday, the 9th. 144MHz sky noise is moderate but increasing to a high of around 2,300 Kelvin on Wednesday. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the latest astronomical discoveries and advancements in space exploration.Solar Orbiter's Unprecedented Views of the Sun's South PoleFor the first time, astronomers have captured detailed observations of the Sun's south pole thanks to the joint NASA/ESA Solar Orbiter spacecraft. This mission provides insights into the Sun's magnetic field dynamics and its role in the solar cycle, including the current solar maximum, which is marked by increased solar activity and spectacular auroras visible at lower latitudes than usual. We discuss the implications of these findings for our understanding of solar physics and space weather.Surprising Discoveries on the Moons of UranusNASA's Hubble Space Telescope has revealed unexpected surface characteristics of Uranus's largest moons. Contrary to predictions, the leading sides of these moons showed signs of darkening, challenging previous theories about the interactions between the moons and Uranus's magnetosphere.

A year after a geomagnetic storm that created auroras seen as far south as Texas, scientists are still making discoveries about its surprising effects.

This episode of SpaceTime explores the recent surge in solar activity, including the largest solar flare of the year and the most intense geomagnetic storm in two decades.Massive Solar Flare and Its ImplicationsWe delve into the details of a powerful X 2.7 class solar flare that erupted from a newly active sunspot region, AR14087. Although the flare was not initially directed towards Earth, its rotation has now positioned it directly in our path. We discuss the mechanics of solar flares, their classification, and the potential impacts of such events on our planet, including disruptions to communication systems, satellite operations, and even power grids.The Gannon Storm: A Historic Geomagnetic EventThe episode highlights the Gannon Storm, a severe geomagnetic storm that struck Earth on May 10, 2024. Coinciding with a space weather exercise, this event caused significant disruptions, including high voltage power line failures and rerouted flights due to radiation exposure. We analyze its effects on the atmosphere, satellites, and even the ionosphere, revealing insights into how such storms can impact modern technology.Ancient Solar Storms and Their Modern ImplicationsIn a fascinating segment, we discuss a groundbreaking study that identifies the strongest solar storm ever recorded, dating back to 12350 BCE. This ancient event, significantly more intense than any modern storm, provides invaluable data for understanding solar activity and its potential risks to contemporary infrastructure.Science Robert: Long Work Hours and Brain ChangesWe also touch on a new study revealing how long working hours could alter brain structures, potentially affecting memory and emotional regulation.Join us as we unpack these cosmic phenomena and their implications for life on Earth and beyond.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of Occupational Environmental Medicinehttps://journals.lww.com/joem/Pages/default.aspxBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 Solar flares are powerful blasts of energy erupting from sunspots10:30 May 2024 was the biggest geomagnetic storm in over 20 years14:29 New study reveals strongest solar event ever recorded, rewriting science on space weather18:23 A new study claims people who work long hours could have altered brain structures

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 1st of May 2025 After the previous week's geomagnetic disturbances, as described in last week's GB2RS, the last seven days have been relatively quiet. The Kp index has mostly been in the ones and twos, however the rise to a Kp value of four on Thursday the 1st of May could herald a return to unsettled conditions. The solar flux index peaked at 170 on the 24th of April, before declining to 148 at the end of the month. HF conditions have been acceptable rather than outstanding and many stations struggled to work DX at times during International Marconi Day on the 26th of April. Nevertheless, there is DX about including ZS8W Marion Island, TX9A Austral Islands and HD8G Galapagos Islands. A look at the Proppy propagation prediction tool will help you work out the best times for making a contact with each station and on each band. You can find it by going to rsgb.org/propagation-tools Looking ahead, a large sunspot has rotated into view. Now designated 4079, this region has returned and was previously sunspot region 4055. It has already emitted an M-class solar flare, and we may expect greater activity as it becomes more Earth-centric over the next week. NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will climb again in the coming week, perhaps rising to between 160 and 165. Geomagnetic disturbances are also due to rise, with the Kp index forecast to reach five on the 5th and 6th of May. If this becomes a reality, expect lowered MUFs and poorer HF paths, especially over the poles as the Kp index rises. And finally, this week traditionally marks the start of the Sporadic-E season so keep an eye on 10m and 12m for short- and medium-range openings to Europe. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The current spell of high-pressure Tropo weather weakened a little as last week ended and we'll see the return of unsettled conditions with showery rain, perhaps even the odd thunderstorm. This is unlikely to lead to a total removal of high pressure and Tropo will still be worth looking for, especially over the western side of the UK. Some models place a new high just west of Britain during the coming week. This means that the rain prospects are not great, although probably just enough for a hint of rain scatter in any isolated heavier showers. The HF bands sounded a bit ‘watery' at times last week, which is a classic sign of potential aurora to explore on the higher bands. Look out for aurora in the coming week if the Kp index climbs above five. Meteor scatter is worth thinking about and, after last week's Lyrids, we now have the Eta Aquariids shower peaking in the early hours of the 6th of May. Remember that Sporadic-E ionisation is largely composed of long-lived meteor ions, so be on watch for Es openings. From now onwards through to mid-September, Sporadic-E will dominate the lower VHF bands, so check the clusters for signs of activity. Remember that Es starts on 10m and moves HF as an opening develops, even reaching 2m in the peak summer. Unlike Tropo, Es events are often fleeting, so the best you can do is monitor conditions as the Es intensifies and be ready when it reaches the band you want. Don't forget to check the daily Es blogs on www.propquest.co.uk which discuss the potential links between location of jet streams and Es formation. EME path losses are increasing, but apogee is still a week away. Moon declination passed maximum last Thursday so Moon windows are shortening along with reducing peak elevation. 144MHz sky noise is low all week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Have you heard about the upcoming geomagnetic reversal? It's like a cosmic flip-flop where the Earth's magnetic poles switch places! Scientists have been buzzing about it lately, but the big question is—are we ready for it? While geomagnetic reversals are natural phenomena that happen over thousands of years, they can still stir up some chaos, like messing with our navigation systems and even potentially exposing us to more cosmic radiation. But don't panic just yet! Scientists are keeping a close eye on things and working on ways to adapt, so hopefully, we'll weather the magnetic storm just fine.

Using All modes on the 4m band, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator.   Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 10th of April 2025 A fast solar wind caused some disruption last week, often sending the Kp index up to five, with many three-hour periods in excess of four. The solar wind speed was in the 600-700 kilometres per second range, which caused a moderate, G2, geomagnetic storm and visible aurora at higher latitudes mid-week. Glancing CMEs that left the Sun on the 9th of April brought a small chance of enhanced geomagnetic activity at the end of the week. Meanwhile, the solar flux index declined slightly from a high of 184 on the 5th of April to 167 on Thursday the 10th. There have been quite a few C-class solar flares, but only two M-class flares and no X-class events over the past seven days. This geomagnetic activity has taken its toll on HF propagation, with lower critical frequencies at times and lower MUFs. This, coupled with the start of a change to summer ionospheric conditions, has meant that MUFs over a 3,000km path have often struggled to get past 19.7MHz at times. We have probably seen the best of the long-range 10m propagation until the autumn. But we will have Sporadic-E and its associated short skip from next month to make up for it. Next week NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will fall further, perhaps to between 135 and 140 by the 15th of April. Geomagnetic conditions are also likely to improve with a Kp index of two to three, forecast for the period after tomorrow, the 14th of April. We may expect more problematic geomagnetic conditions, with a predicted Kp index of four, from the 21st to the 24th of April.   And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The long spell of fine settled weather and strong Tropo is leaving us for a while, starting this weekend, and the high pressure is giving way to slow-moving areas of low pressure with cloud and rain for the coming week. Although it won't rain all the time it will be considerably wetter than recent weeks, with some heavy spells of rain at times and good prospects for rain scatter on the GHz bands. It is possible that there could be some thunder in the heavier rain, so it's now the season to be aware of lightning risk. The meteor scatter prospects are staggering towards the 22nd of April Lyrids, which peak on Tuesday of the following week, so we're still probably relying on random activity for most of this coming week, but with improving chances. The solar conditions have been feeding low-level auroral activity and it remains a good time of the year when some effective auroral conditions can appear - so stay alert to the state of the Kp index, just in case. The good news at this time of the year is that Sporadic-E will eventually make an appearance, usually on 10m or 6m, and is quite often first picked out on the digital modes. It will be into late April before we need to get too excited about this, but there is no harm in getting a set of beacons in mind for tracking an opening. Remember the main characteristic of Es is that it starts on the lower frequencies like 10m, and works up through 6m to 4m and then finally 2m in a high-summer opening. EME path losses are at their maximum at apogee this evening, the 13th, and Moon declination is negative and falling further. Moon windows will continue to shorten with peak elevation reaching only eight degrees at the end of next week. 144MHz sky noise starts the week low but will increase during the week to more than 2300 Kelvin on Friday. And that's all from the propagation team this week.  

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 39The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastMoon's Oldest Impact Crater Dated, NASA's Punch Mission Launches, and Europe's First Orbital Rocket CountdownIn this episode of SpaceTime, we reveal groundbreaking findings that pinpoint the age of the Moon's oldest and largest impact crater, the Aitken Basin. Recent analysis of lunar regolith collected by China's Chang'e 6 mission indicates that this massive structure was formed approximately 4.25 billion years ago by a colossal asteroid impact.

//The Wire//2300Z December 31, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: TEPID RELATIONS CONTINUE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND AZERBAIJAN FOLLOWING SHOOTDOWN INCIDENT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Global: Solar weather is expected to peak overnight as a Geomagnetic storm watch remains in effect for Dec 31 into Jan 1. AC: Over the next day, GPS and radio signals may be degraded if a substantial geomagnetic storm materializes.Russia: President Vladimir Putin allegedly expressed condolences for Russia's involvement in the downing of Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243 in a private call with Azerbaijan's President.-HomeFront-USA: Facebook/META and Instagram have announced plans to introduce AI-generated “users” to their platforms, drawing the ire of the users still using these social media platforms. AC: While seemingly a minor development in the world of social media, it's already hard enough to discern the truth on the internet, much less when the developers of platforms themselves push AI-generated content on their platforms.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As the transcript of the phone call between Russia and Azerbaijan has not yet been released, only secondary sources of unknown veracity have commented on the contents of the call. Allegedly Putin apologized for the incident, but did not directly take responsibility for the shootdown. In any case, the leadership of both nations are treating this incident as a tragic accident for the moment, although tensions among Azeris are high following the incident. For instance, Azeri President Aliyev accused Putin of attempting to downplay the incident. Regarding the exact cause of the crisis, Russia has not directly and clearly admitted to shooting down the aircraft, however Putin has mentioned that Russian Air Defense Artillery (ADA) units were engaging Ukrainian drones at the time of the incident. This highly coincidental statement might be the best Azerbaijan can get at the moment in terms of an admission of guilt from Russia. Putin's indirect apology is also very likely due to what are likely to be perceived as Azerbaijan's unreasonable demands. President Aliyev has demanded three things: An apology from Russia (which they already have), An admission of guilt by Russia, and criminal trial of the Russian soldiers responsible. This latter point is absolutely not going to happen, and probably isn't expected to either because Azerbaijan's further demand is that of money…compensation for the accident in the form of a check made out to the Azeri government. Putin is not the man to engage in a shakedown operation with, so relations between Azerbaijan and Russia might be rather lukewarm for some time.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

The past few days have demonstrated both the beauty and fury of the sun's plasma ejections. This is just the beginning of a very violent solar cycle – perhaps it's the very thing that could wipe out all of our advanced technology. If astrophysicists' predictions are accurate, we are in for a long series of extreme weather events and climate changes globally over the coming decades, until about 2055. Furthermore, the magnetic health of the Earth is in trouble and one hopes that it will correct itself or all of the ideas of an electric future will not happen. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10pm, pacific time), Clyde Lewis talks with astronomer, Marc Dantonio about GEOMAGNETIC GENESIS – ALPHA OMEGA AND THE LATTER-DAY BIG BANG THEORY.

In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore a range of fascinating topics from around the world. We begin by discussing the recent G4 geomagnetic storm that impacted Earth, causing disturbances in the planet's magnetic field and potentially affecting power grids and communication systems. The episode then shifts focus to a protest at Tesla's Gigafactory in Germany, where activists clashed with police over concerns about the environmental impact of the company's expansion plans and the broader implications of lithium mining for electric vehicle batteries.Next, we explore the world of online dating, examining Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd's vision for an AI-powered "dating concierge" that could handle initial interactions between potential partners. While this concept has generated interest, it has also raised questions about the role of AI in human relationships and the ethical considerations surrounding such technology. The episode then celebrates a groundbreaking gene therapy trial that successfully restored hearing to a young British girl, marking the first time this approach has been used to treat auditory neuropathy and offering hope for those with similar genetic hearing conditions.Finally, we explore the complex history of dog domestication, discussing theories of self-domestication and directed domestication, as well as recent genetic evidence suggesting multiple domestication events in Europe and Asia. The episode highlights the interplay of ecological, genetic, and social factors that have shaped the evolution of dogs from their wolf ancestors and the ongoing debates in the scientific community about the exact timeline and processes involved in this remarkable journey.From Perplexity's Discover feed:Severe geomagnetic storm hits Earthhttps://www.perplexity.ai/search/Severe-geomagnetic-storm-NcL7m.JiR7qWAsDtmcbDcgProtestors storm Tesla Gigafactoryhttps://www.perplexity.ai/search/Protestors-storm-Tesla-sec7yAlFTlS0MFUsoADbTQBumble's AI dating conciergehttps://www.perplexity.ai/search/Bumbles-AI-dating-HpWEQH6uSG2ZYl8i.0hMGwGene therapy trial restores hearinghttps://www.perplexity.ai/search/Gene-therapy-trial-aKuZbEGbQfurdauGCK5VZARethinking dog evolutionhttps://www.perplexity.ai/search/Rethinking-dog-evolution-iymMWxN6Tdu_1Er7bDOn5QPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration observed a cluster of sunspots on the surface of the sun this week. With them came solar flares that kicked off a severe geomagnetic storm. That storm is expected to last throughout the weekend as at least five coronal mass ejections — chunks of the sun — are flung out into space, towards Earth! NOAA uses a five point scale to rate these storms, and this weekend's storm is a G4. It's expected to produce auroras as far south as Alabama. To contextualize this storm, we are looking back at the largest solar storm on record: the Carrington Event. Want us to cover more about the sun?

On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, while the whole world is debating about man-made-climate change as the ‘worst threat to our existence', it seems very few people are paying any attention to the Maker of our climate, He who even the winds and the waves obey. ‘Geomagnetic storms can impact infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and on Earth's surface,' the statement went on, stating how the storm could ‘potentially disrupt communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations.' It also could ‘wipe out the internet' for some, scientists further warned – as NOAA upped the Geomagnetic Storm Watch from Moderate to Severe for Friday through Sunday late Thursday. Oh, the things you don't know when you don't have a King James Bible. Today we bring you this breaking solar storm that may, or may not, wreak havoc on Planet Earth, along with everything else you need to know about what's happening here in the closing moments of the Church Age!
