SpaceWeatherNews (S0) | Worst Pole Shift News, Solar Record Shatters | Oct. 18, 2026

Labels , , , , Source: SpaceWeatherNews (S0) youtube



Description: 
SpaceWeatherNews on what the episode calls the worst pole-shift news, tied to a solar record. The first linked paper is a flash report from the Russian Ionosfera-M satellites on the geomagnetic storm of 19-21 January 2026. The authors report a G4 storm with Kp 9 and a solar proton flux they call the highest of Solar Cycle 25 and of the 21st century so far.

The second paper finds that recurrent high-speed solar-wind streams are followed by a small, repeatable rise in the first Schumann resonance frequency at high-latitude stations. That response lines up more clearly with geomagnetic activity than with solar-wind speed alone.

SpaceWeatherNews (S0) | Galactic Magnetic Reversal - Every Sign Amplifies | Oct. 17, 2026

Description: 
SpaceWeatherNews on a galactic magnetic reversal, with the episode framed around signs that are amplifying. Today's linked notes cover Chandra's Treble Clef, a radio structure shaped by a black-hole outburst and a collision of two galaxy clusters; a check of zodiacal dust models at small solar elongations; survival odds for heliospheric energetic neutral atoms seen by IMAP; and heliosheath pickup ions along Voyager 2, tied to the low-energy ENA gap.

SpaceWeatherNews (S0) | G3 Solar Storm, Full Analysis, Pole Shift Effect | Oct. 11, 2026

Labels , , , , Source: SpaceWeatherNews (S0) youtube



Description: 
SpaceWeatherNews on a G3 solar storm and another pole-shift signal. In the last 24 hours the sun was moderately active, with flares that were less eruptive toward Earth and CMEs leaving the departing limb. 

A coronal hole crossed central heliographic longitudes, a new sunspot group marched in, and large plasma filaments stayed on the disk. The expected CME shock arrived as a full draping impact. Solar wind speed was over 800 km/s with above-average density, G3 conditions lasted about six hours on October 10, and the field was calming on the morning of October 11. The official forecast had been G2, Kp 6. The show says forecasters are now underestimating storm strength because Earth's magnetic field is weakening in an ongoing pole shift.

The science notes cover an AI-assisted nova classification, after 14 new nova types in 20 years, and gamma-phase iron that a Chinese moon lander found inside glass microtektites. The show treats a solar micronova as another explanation, because that iron is not found all over the Moon.

SpaceWeatherNews (S0) | Impacts Coming, New Sunspots, Field Loss Hits Plants | Oct. 10, 2026

Description: 
SpaceWeatherNews on a mostly calm sun, with a departing flare-active group and new sunspots on the incoming southern limb. A CME due on October 9 left no clear shock in the solar wind, geomagnetic conditions stayed quiet, and the show expects at least one more impact, plus a coronal-hole stream early next week.

That coronal hole was the earthquake watch called on the October 8 show. A magnitude 7.7 struck Panama on October 9, with initial tsunami concerns, and the show says there were no casualties. Linked papers cover solar forcing of Pacific precipitation and northwest Pacific cyclones, and a lab study in which seeds germinated poorly when the geomagnetic field was removed.

SpaceWeatherNews (S0) | Ozone 80% Hit, Answer to Universe, Solar Storm | Oct. 9, 2026

Description: 
SpaceWeatherNews on Friday, October 9, still waiting on shock-wave impact, with a hurricane bearing down on the Gulf Coast. An M6.8 flare erupted in the last day and destabilized a filament: a wide, faint burst whose shock crossed about half the sun.

The show links an ASM Microbiology Spectrum paper on hypomagnetic conditions that recreate the loss of Earth's magnetic field. It says the harm was largest in the smallest insect groups and nearly absent in the largest, which it reads as close groups shielding one another, then jokes that the answer to the universe is 42. The linked EGUsphere preprint by Jia Jia and colleagues finds mesospheric ozone losses of about 30 to 80 percent in four Solar Cycle 25 storms, in May and October 2024, November 2025, and January 2026. The show notes those models did not reproduce the upper loss, says an 80 percent hit would not fit a normal magnetic field short of an extreme flare, and expects the daily ozone record to break again this weekend, with pollution controls helping lower down and the pole shift leaving the upper layers open to space energy.

SpaceWeatherNews on a solar storm and a hurricane this week.

The episode links an ALMA image of spiral galaxy M83, Webb's view of stellar jets in nebula NGC 7129, a Planetary Science Institute proposal to study a possible lunar cave under NASA's PRISM program, and a University of Texas finding that the Ames meteor impact in Oklahoma happened 100 million years later than previously thought.

SpaceWeatherNews (S0) | Ozone Getting Rocked, Sun Quakes, Solar Storm | Oct. 5, 2026

Description: 
SpaceWeatherNews on a day-long geomagnetic storm, with solar wind above 700 km/s after yesterday's surge from large dark coronal holes. No flares or eruptive events, sunspots stay exceptionally weak, and the show expects the wind to ease today with some storm reverberations still likely.

It returns to the 2015 paper with Kongpop U-Yen and Christopher Holloman, which it says showed the sun triggering the largest earthquakes, and notes that Wilcox Solar Observatory has stopped the polar-field record. 

The linked Research Square preprint by Ivan Berezin and Andrey Tlatov tests whether the KMAS/STOP magnetograph can continue that series. A second report covers crustal magnetic anomalies and electrical resistivity outside the United States and Canada, as a step toward storm-time surge maps for power grids and pipelines. 

Copernicus ozone monitoring shows the southern-hemisphere hole near another daily peak, already above the daily record several times this year. The show reads the next spike as particle input from the current storm at the top of the ozone layer, while lower down it is pollution controls against volcanoes, and says the pole shift is taking a toll up high.

SpaceWeatherNews (S0) | Solar Wind Intensifying, Pole Shift Radiation Surge | Oct. 4, 2026

Description: 
SpaceWeatherNews on intensifying solar wind from a departing coronal hole, with geomagnetic conditions climbing after a weak CME and a possible minor storm. 

The show links an AGU paper on earthquake synchrony and a Nature paper on the Laschamp excursion, which it reads as a particle-radiation surge closer to 400 percent, from a superflare or Miyake event timed with the magnetic pole shift.
