Earth’s magnetic shield could fail faster than expected

New research is turning urgent as G4 solar storms strike Earth. Scientists have discovered our magnetic defense is far more fragile than expected. This week they recorded the strongest geoelectric field ever measured 3.5 volts per kilometer

Trump's HUD is preparing to gut federal support for long-term housing programs.

The changes could put 170,000 formerly homeless people at risk of losing their housing — many of whom are disabled or over 50.

The cruelty is endless. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Main takeaways from SWPC's video update, posted one hour ago on X:

- Third CME has arrived.
- G4 watch has been extended into Nov 13 in case Bz goes south.
- Third CME is fast, over 800 km/s.
- Not sure if we are in the heart of the third CME, yet.

I analyzed the entire list of local and state agencies participating in ICE’s 287g program. Of the 1154 agreements, Florida has the most with 334. Texas has 220.

I compiled this list for posterity to maintain public access. Find out if there are any in your state.

Here is the current view from Imperial, CA looing north! This is literally mere miles from the U.S./Mexico border. ALL U.S. STATES (possibly excluding Hawaii) CAN SEE AURORA RIGHT NOW if clear!

SWPC has only ever issued a handful of G4 watches, and we have now for Nov 12 due to three incoming CMEs. Storming may begin on Nov 11 with the impact of the first CME with two more close behind it.

If the forecast verifies, much of the U.S. may see the aurora Tue/Wed nights.

Whoa. The scale of this thing.

That blast wave radiating away from the flare location is impressive. Esp. when you think about the size of the Earth in comparison.

It’s so very near that we live so close to a star and can watch its behaviour and activity.

A star and it’s just right there!
Here is the X5.1 flare in straight EUV light. We are looking at the 193 Å "gold" filter here. The flare is the bright flash, and immediately, you can see a giant blast wave racing through the Sun's corona, lifting tons of plasma into space as an Earth-directed CME.
