A surprisingly busy 24 hours of seismic activity saw a M 5.7–5.8 quake off the Dominican Republic that rattled Puerto Rico, a M 6.3–6.5 event east of the Philippine archipelago that was felt as far as Thailand and Myanmar, and a widely‑felt but harmless M 2.7 jolt under Los Angeles. Dozens of smaller shocks—most notably in Chile, Papua New Guinea and Nevada—rounded…

A burst of high‑speed solar wind from a giant coronal‑hole on the Sun is slamming Earth’s magnetic field this week, prompting NOAA to issue a G2‑level geomagnetic‑storm watch and raising the odds that the aurora borealis will spill far beyond its usual haunts—potentially as far south as Illinois, Ohio and New York on the night of 24–25 June 2025.…

There is a strong chance that tonight’s sky will erupt in ribbons of green, purple and crimson light across much of the northern United States. A moderate (G2‑level) geomagnetic‑storm watch from NOAA aligns with unusually high solar‑wind speeds, setting the stage for auroras that could spill far south of their usual haunts. Below is a deep‑dive…

A rare alignment of space‑weather ingredients is expected to push shimmering curtains of green, pink and violet as far south as the lower Great Lakes and Pacific Northwest overnight on 24–25 June 2025. NOAA has issued a G1–G2 geomagnetic‑storm watch with the Kp index forecast to peak at 5.67, enough to expand the auroral oval into at least 15…

At lightning speed on 24 June 2025, President Donald Trump upended foreign and domestic politics: he jetted into The Hague demanding a historic 5 %‑of‑GDP defense pledge from NATO, proclaimed (and then scolded) a shaky Israel‑Iran cease‑fire hours after ordering U.S. B‑2 strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, and watched Congress shelve an impeachment bid even as lawmakers advanced War‑Powers curbs. Oil…
