Solar flare activity has increased significantly in recent days. There have been a total of four X Class solar flares since Mother’s Day last Sunday. While none of the coronal mass ejections (CME) were Earth-directed, NOAA now expects the active region to be facing Earth by this weekend. The first X Class solar flares of 2013 went largely unnoticed by the mainstream media. If just one of the CMEs had been directed at Earth, the power grid would likely have gone down, ended life as we know it, and resembled a scene from Rob Underhill’s

Solar flares are expected to hit solar maximum in May, but scientists can’t seem to agree on exactly how strong the impact will. The Sun entered the peak of its 11-year cycle in 2012. The frequency and power of the sunsposts and solar flares that have already occurred is a hotly debated topic among scientists and the prepper community. A NOAA/NASA scientific panel created to track and predict solar storm activity released their predictions for the Sun’s peak activity recently. Although it was definitely not a unanimous decision, the experts feel a solar flare maximum

WASHINGTON, DC – The relationship between search engine giant, Google, and agencies of the federal government is under the spotlight again. First it was Google’s partnership with the National Security Agency and now with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is asking if Google hasn’t received some kind of a sweetheart deal in its lease of an airfield in California. In question is Google’s deal to house a fleet of its aircraft at California’s Moffett Airfield operated by NASA. Several large Boeing jets and a fleet of other jets and helicopters

NASA is not just about space exploration. The National Aeronautic and Space Administration has given us some very useful products. The research done by NASA scientists over the years has led to many “spin offs.” These are products, ideas, and materials that came from research conducted by NASA and include invisible braces, memory foam, scratch-resistant

FLORIDA – A group comprised of nearly 50 former astronauts and scientists claims that NASA is ruining its reputation in its championing of man-man global warming. Among the group were former Apollo astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Walt Cunningham along with the former head of the Johnson Space Center. Former NASA executives demanded in a letter to Administrator Charles Bolden that he and the agency “refrain from including unproven remarks” supporting global warming in the media. “We feel that NASA’s advocacy of an extreme position, prior to a thorough study of the possible overwhelming impact of

On March 6th, around 7PM EST, the Solar Dynamics Observatory captured video footage showing the eruption of one of the largest solar flares in this solar cycle, which triggered a temporary blackout on the the side of Earth facing the sun, interfering with navigation and short wave radio. However, several CMEs (coronal mass ejections) also occurred in association with these flares. These CMEs are traveling faster than 1100 miles a second and are slated to impact Earth and Mars, as well as several NASA spacecraft. The first CME will reach Earth around 1:25 AM EST
