Solar flare space storm affects satellites and airlines
January 22, 2012 Solar Flare causes significant radiation storm but experts say most communication systems are unaffected Radiation from the largest solar flare in more than six years shouldn’t adversely affect communications or technology for most people on earth, experts say. Doug Biesecker, a physicist at the US Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado, said that while the solar flare has caused problems for some GPS systems, airline communications systems and satellites over the past day or two, most people around the world won’t … Continue reading

Solar storms may cause cellphones to drop calls
On Sunday, January 22, 2012, a massive explosion on the sun known as a solar flare sent an ejection of some of the sun’s plasma hurtling toward earth at the ungodly speed of 1,000 kilometers…per second! No need to worry about being hit by flying sun plasma though — that will zoom right past Earth and race toward the edge of the solar system, according to Harlan Spence, principal investigator for the Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation (CRaTER) instrument onboard NASA’s Lunar … Continue reading
10 Things To Do to Survive 2012
No one is predicting 2012 to be an uplifting year, economically. All major financial analysts predict stagnation at best in 2012, while others warn of likely doom and gloom as the dollar continues to become less desirable around the world. In 2010, China and Russia agreed to stop trading together in dollars and Japan agreed to do the same with China just last week. Moves like that in 2012 coming from these major economic players only can spell doom for those who rely on the … Continue reading
A 2012 New Year’s Mayan Calendar: Background & Prophetic Elements
Given 2011 has officially ended, and we’ve entered into 2012 of the Gregorian calendar, many folks are hand-wringing over this as the end of the age, or that the Apocalypse is finallyat hand. This is because the Mayan Calendar says so! Or does it? This article examines the theory that the Mayans foresaw the end of the world, as currently described by hundreds of new books, many of them available on Amazon.com. Yet, before anyone goes out and gives away all their belongings, and locks … Continue reading
Experts say end of Mayan calendar in 2012 just a ‘transition point.’
End of Mayan calendar in 2012 just a ‘transition point’ There are only 365 days left until the end of the world – or so some would have you believe. Another doomsday scenario is making the rounds on the Internet and believers are saying that the world will end on December 21, 2012—the same date that the ancient Mayan calendar ends its 13th cycle. The Mayans used two calendars to keep track of time, the short count calendar which ends every 52 years, and the … Continue reading
2012 end of the world? It is not, says Mayan expert
Contrary to what many believed, year 2012 will not mark the end of the world but will just be a start of a new calendar, according to Mayan timekeeper. Many consider it a joke although others are scared we might never live to see next year thanks to the Mayan calendar’s ‘apocalyptic’ prediction, the Daily Mail reported. But Mayan expert Leonzo Barreno, of Saskatchewan, Canada, has asserted that the ‘apocalypse’ concept is a false interpretation of the Long Count calendar. The University of Regina journalism … Continue reading

Second Mayan prediction of an apocalypse in 2012 is found!
The second is an apparent reference at the nearby Comalcalco ruin on the carved or moulded face of a brick. Comalcalco is unusual among Mayan temples in that it was built with bricks. Arturo Mendez, a spokesman for the institute, said the fragment of inscription had been discovered years ago and has been subject to thorough study. It is not on display and is being kept in storage at the institute. The ‘Comalcalco Brick’, as the second fragment is known, has been discussed by experts … Continue reading
Crab Pulsar gamma rays baffle scientists
Scientists say the Crab Pulsar is blasting out gamma rays at a higher rate than can be explained by current scientific models. It’s emitting the highest-energy gamma rays ever observed from a pulsar – a highly magnetized and rapidly spinning neutron star – at more than 100 billion electron volts. That’s more than 50 billion times more energy than the visible light from the sun. “This is the highest energy pulsar system ever detected,” said Rene Ong, a UCLA professor of physics and astronomy and … Continue reading

Magnetic Pole Shift? – Satellites Showing Radiation Damage
Southern Africa is experiencing weird vibes, according to scientists studying one of the more profound upheavals awaiting planet Earth. This forthcoming revolution is a reversal in the Earth’s magnetic field, an event that occurs every 500 000 years or so. Signs that the reversal is about to happen again are nowhere more apparent than over Southern Africa, according to Dr Pieter Kotze, head of the geomagnetism group at the Hermanus Magnetic Observatory in the southern Cape. Satellites in low-Earth orbit over Southern Africa are already … Continue reading
