• Earth Catastrophe Cycle: Solar Micronova III

    Micronova evidence from the Moon, evidence from the past, and the physics of nova-level electricity. This is Episode 11 of Ben Davidson's Earth Catastrophy Cycle. "It would be the most dynamic coronal mass ejection in modern history, recreating its spectrum…

  • Comprehensive simulation of a solar flare

    A team of scientists has, for the first time, used a single, cohesive computer model to simulate the entire life cycle of a solar flare: from the buildup of energy thousands of kilometers below the solar surface, to the emergence of tangled magnetic field lines, to…

  • Earth Catastrophe Cycle: Pole shift

    Here's another excellent video by Ben Davidson… part 9 of Earth Catastrophe Cycle – Pole shift. Solar flares are already known to change the Earth's rotation, now imagine one 100 to 1 000 times larger than what is known. How does the crust unlock from the…

  • Earth Catastrophe Cycle: Plasma formations

    Plasma formations are the key to understanding ancient accounts of the catastrophe, to understanding what could happen in the future, and to monitoring for signs of its coming. The entire Earth Catastrophe Cycle series can be found in the following playlist: …

  • Bright fireball, sonic boom reported over Japan

    A very bright fireball followed by a loud rumbling noise was seen over a wide area of western Japan early January 3, 2019 (LT). It's quite possible that parts of it survived atmospheric entry. The event took place at 19:50 UTC on January 2 (04:50 JST, January…

  • Spectacular explosions at Krakatoa volcano, Indonesia

    Some of the most dramatic footage yet of the explosions on collapsed Anak Krakatau, where the vent now is under water and lets water interact violently with rising magma: so-called Surtseyan activity, a type of volcanic eruption that takes place in shallow seas or…

  • 2018 Volcanoes in Review

    Thanks to Jake and Mari of the Grand Solar Minimum YouTube channel we have an excellent overview of all significant volcanic eruptions of the year. Out of an estimated 1 500 active volcanoes, on average 50 – 70 erupt every year, spewing steam, ash, toxic gases, and…

  • Long-lasting green fireball lights up night sky over Mexico City

    An impressive meteor fireball lit up the night sky over Mexico's capital Mexico City at 05:15 CST (11:15 UTC) on December 8, 2018. The event lasted for more than 10 seconds. According to Rodolfo Cobos Arriaga, president of Acapulco Astronomical Association, the…

  • Earthquakes of the 20th Century

    This animation shows every recorded earthquake in sequence as they occurred from January 1, 1901, through December 31, 2000, at a rate of 1 year per second. The earthquake hypocenters first appear as flashes then remain as colored circles before shrinking with time…
