An explanation of NASA's recorded sounds of the magnetosphere which they call song of the Earth, or chorus waves produced by killer electrons. These sounds were recorded by satellites studying the Van Allen Belts or Radiation Belts.

What Caused the Superbowl Blackout on Feb 3, 2013
The real cause of the unexplained reason for the Blackout during the Superbowl Sunday on Feb 3, 2013, wasn't the electrical company negligence, but a filament eruption with CME blast on the Sun's Corona on January 31, 2013. The CME arrived at the Earth's magnetosphere on February 3, 2o13, which happened to be Superbowl Sunday. As the magnetic field's currents were overloaded, … [Read more...] about What Caused the Superbowl Blackout on Feb 3, 2013

A visit from Apophis on January 9, 2013
Asteroid Apophis was discovered in 2004, and will make its visit to Earth tomorrow, Jan. 9, 2013, passing through Near Earth space within 0.1 AU which is 4,450,00 or 8,980,000 miles (AU means Astronomical Unit). Although presents nearly zero chance of striking Earth at this time, it is not so in 2036. In 2036, unless it changes its course, Apophis presents a 1-in-250,000 … [Read more...] about A visit from Apophis on January 9, 2013
Comet Grazing the Sun
In December 2011, comet Lovejoy dove through the sun's corona. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured images offering scientists a unique opportunity to observe the phenomenon. Comet tails have ionized gases which are affected by the sun's magnetic field, and a comet's encounter with the sun is a treat for heliophysicits to continue their study of the sun and of … [Read more...] about Comet Grazing the Sun
