A good web site if you're into astronomical things:

There are some cool photos

As featured on today's Spaceweather page, a new sunspot is emerging over the sun's northeastern limb, and it is crackling with M-class solar flares. On sunday morning I (photographer) captured this 30-minute timelapse animation of the region. (The Netherlands)

So that's where all the dust in my house is coming from...

Cool! I follow some youtube channels like EarthMaster. The link between earth facing solar flares and earthquakes is quite interesting. In2Thinair is a good channel too. There is no way earth can exist in a bubble apart from the universe. Couple of M class earth facing flares may cause an earthquake upwards of 7.0 somewhere in the next few days. But we will see.

I just looked quickly at In2Thinair on YT. Have to leave but I'll get back to it.

There are things worse than a flare. Some day in a few billion years the sun will exhaust its hydrogen and swell into a red giant star, incinerating or swallowing the Earth. Perhaps by then humanity, lf it still exists, will have packed up and moved to another planet.

7.6 earthquake in Tonga this afternoon. Earthquakes follow large M and X class earth facing solar flares.

7.6 earthquake in Tonga this afternoon. Earthquakes follow large M and X class earth facing solar flares.

I was just about to watch the video. I'm heading to the couch now. but i must check out Tonga first.

magnitude 7.4 struck off Tonga on Thursday,
no tsunami warning after the earthquake.

Thank goodness.

Well, the site is somewhat interesting but a little nutty too.
I'll admit tho', that I don't know a lot about these sciences, but if solar flares really do induce earthquakes, so be it.

Sleep well, everyone.
