🌌Unusual Atmospheric Changes During May Geomagnetic Storm🌍⚡️
On May 11–12, Earth experienced the strongest geomagnetic storm in 20 years🔥, producing stunning auroras at unusually southern latitudes🌈 while disrupting GPS and satellite-dependent technologies📡.
🔬 Scientists observed:
* Unexpected migration of low-energy charged particles from the equator toward auroral zones ➡️❄️. * A split in particle behavior: low-energy vs. high-energy ⚡️ (the latter dangerous for astronauts 👨🚀 and electronics 💻). * Temperature & pressure shifts causing atmospheric vortices 🌪. * Disrupted low-energy particle distribution, harming GPS, satellites, and even power grids⚠️.
📖 “As auroras intensified, more light was visible — but this also meant more energy heating the atmosphere near the poles. This hot air then began flowing toward the equator,” explains Scott England.
❓ Scientists now ask: Was this storm truly unique, or are today’s instruments simply better at detecting these effects? With the current solar cycle rising ☀️, similar extreme events are expected in the next two years⏳.

This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children. If you initiate a Secret Chat, however, then these communications are end-to-end encrypted and are tied to the device you are using. That means it’s less convenient to access them across multiple platforms, but you are at far less risk of snooping. Back in the day, Secret Chats received some praise from the EFF, but the fact that its standard system isn’t as secure earned it some criticism. If you’re looking for something that is considered more reliable by privacy advocates, then Signal is the EFF’s preferred platform, although that too is not without some caveats. Stocks dropped on Friday afternoon, as gains made earlier in the day on hopes for diplomatic progress between Russia and Ukraine turned to losses. Technology stocks were hit particularly hard by higher bond yields. 'Wild West' "The inflation fire was already hot and now with war-driven inflation added to the mix, it will grow even hotter, setting off a scramble by the world’s central banks to pull back their stimulus earlier than expected," Chris Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS, wrote in an email. "A spike in inflation rates has preceded economic recessions historically and this time prices have soared to levels that once again pose a threat to growth."
