‘Extreme’ solar storm impacts NZ, power grid emergency declared
‘Extreme’ solar storm impacts NZ, power grid emergency declared NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare in extreme ultraviolet light on May 2. (Source: NASA) Transpower has issued a precautionary grid emergency notice as the largest solar storm in two decades to affect Earth hits New Zealand this weekend. Sixteen electricity […]
The Threat of a Solar Superstorm Is Growing—And We’re Not Ready
The Threat of a Solar Superstorm Is Growing—And We’re Not Ready Someday an unlucky outburst from our sun could strike Earth and fry most of our electronics—and we’ve already had some too-close-for-comfort near misses Powerful outbursts from the sun—like this bright, flashing solar flare and the adjacent eruption of hot glowing gas—can wreak havoc with […]
Coronal Hole ’30 Times Earth’s Size’ Hurls Solar Plasma Towards Earth
Coronal Hole ’30 Times Earth’s Size’ Hurls Solar Plasma Towards Earth NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory released a photo showing a massive coronal hole forming in the sun’s atmosphere, ejecting a stream of fast-moving solar winds toward Earth. “The current coronal hole, the big one right now, is about 300,000 to 400,000 kilometers across,” Alex Young, […]
The Outage at the Federal Reserve
The Outage at the Federal Reserve The outage of the National Settlement Service and the Fedwire Securities Service, which provides issuance, settlement, and transfer services for Treasuries and other government securities, was down and this has caused some concern and then conspiracy theories mixed in. The Fed made progress reversing the shutdown within a couple […]
Sunspot Could Send Solar Flares Toward Earth That May Disrupt the Power Grid
SUNSPOT COULD SEND SOLAR FLARES TOWARD EARTH THAT MAY DISRUPT THE POWER GRID A massive sunspot on the surface of the sun has the potential to shoot solar flares toward Earth, and this particular sunspot is one of concern. A solar flare could disrupt the power grid and take down some radio communications. A massive […]
Solar Storms Can Devastate Entire Civilizations
Solar Storms Can Devastate Entire Civilizations Climate has inarguably become a hot topic of discussion in developed economies over the last decade, and it is getting hotter by the day as study after study warn we are close to doomed if we don’t change our ways urgently. Yet climate on Earth is not the only […]
Earth Offline: A ‘Solar Superflare’ Could Impact the Grid Sooner Than We Think
EARTH OFFLINE: A ‘SOLAR SUPERFLARE’ COULD IMPACT THE GRID SOONER THAN WE THINK Scientists are warning that a solar superflare on the sun could take Earth’s power systems offline sooner than previously thought. New research suggests that our sun could be capable of shooting a superflare in our direction, and it might be relatively soon […]
Huge Solar Storm Blasted Earth 2,600 Years Ago Could Strike Again, Researchers Warn
Huge Solar Storm Blasted Earth 2,600 Years Ago Could Strike Again, Researchers Warn The most significant known geomagnetic storm to blast Earth occurred in 660 B.C., researchers say, based on traces of the storm’s particles preserved in both ice cores and tree rings. Though it had no impact on the pre-industrial and pre-technological world, such […]
Government Agency Warning: Space Storms Could Cause Mass BLACKOUTS
Government Agency Warning: Space Storms Could Cause Mass BLACKOUTS The Met Office has told United Kingdom ministers that space storms could cause massive blackouts and destroy computers. According to the government agency’s study, a space storm could bring down the internet and all communications. According to The Sunday Times, a new report is claiming that huge […]
This Is What A Massive X9 Class Solar Flare Looks Like
This Is What A Massive X9 Class Solar Flare Looks Like Scientists from Caltech Astronomy examined the great solar flare of 1990 that occurred in active region NOAA 6063. The eruption and subsequent shockwave were so massive that scientist decided to write a report on their findings titled “Tangential Field Changes in the Great Flare of 1990 […]
Solar Storm Will Strike Earth Tonight, ‘Weak Power Grid Fluctuations’ Possible
Solar Storm Will Strike Earth Tonight, ‘Weak Power Grid Fluctuations’ Possible The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center forecasts an aurora could light up the sky above areas in the United State including Michigan and Maine. A solar storm, which occurred Monday, is expected to strike Earth tonight. On Monday, the sun spit out a slew of charged particles […]
Huge Solar Flare Sparks Widespread Blackouts, May Deter Korean Missile Launch This Weekend
Huge Solar Flare Sparks Widespread Blackouts, May Deter Korean Missile Launch This Weekend The sun just released a massive solar flare. In fact, as SHTFplan.com’s Mac Slavo details, this is the largest solar flare emitted in the past decade, and the earth has already been affected by blackouts. NASA has reported a huge solar flare […]
90% of U.S. population could be wiped out with doomsday electromagnetic weapon … Pentagon woefully unprepared
90% of U.S. population could be wiped out with doomsday electromagnetic weapon … Pentagon woefully unprepared (NaturalNews) There is growing alarm among defense planners about the uptick in nuclear weapons development taking place among the various great powers, including the United States, Russia, India and China, as well as lesser powers like North Korea and […]
Sounding The Alarm On The Country’s Vulnerability To An EMP
Sounding The Alarm On The Country’s Vulnerability To An EMP Establishment insiders are worried we’re too vulnerable In the past here at Peak Prosperity, we’ve written extensively on the threat posed by a sustained loss of electrical grid power. More specifically, we’ve warned that the most damaging threat to our grid would come from either […]
Sounding The Alarm On The Country’s Vulnerability To An EMP
Sounding The Alarm On The Country’s Vulnerability To An EMP Last year, Elliott Management’s Paul Singer highlighted “one risk that stands way above the rest in terms of the scope of potential damage adjusted for the likelihood of occurrence”– an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). As Michael Snyder previously details, our entire way of life can be ended in a […]
