  • Gravitational anomaly in 2007 hints at rapid changes near Earth’s core

    ByTeo Blašković

    A gravity anomaly recorded by NASA–German GRACE satellites in early 2007 over the Atlantic Ocean points to mass redistribution near Earth’s core–mantle boundary, around 2 700–2 900 km (1 700–1 800 miles) deep. Researchers suggest a perovskite-to-post-perovskite mineral phase change produced decimetric boundary shifts, offering the first evidence that deep mantle processes can unfold within just a few years and potentially affect Earth’s magnetic field.

  • G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm sparks auroras down to Texas

    ByTeo Blašković

    A geomagnetic storm that began late on September 14, 2025, intensified to G3 – Strong levels early on September 15, producing auroras visible as far south as Texas. The storm was driven by a negative polarity coronal hole high-speed stream (CH HSS) with possible influence from a coronal mass ejection (CME) launched on September 11.
