FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 2024 Solar Superstorm Confirmed as Strongest Flare Event in 87-Year Record New Hemispheric Solar Flare Index Provides Critical Space Weather Data for Protecting Modern Infrastructure MEXICO CITY (November 13, 2025) : This week, the world saw yet another display of spectacular aurorae (November 11-12, 2025) at latitudes as low as El Salvador and Mexico. This was a year after similar unusually low-latitude aurorae events that captivated millions worldw

[ June 2nd, 2025. Salem, MA (USA). ] — A new study  in the  International Journal of Public Health  by an interdisciplinary team of 37 co-authors from 13 countries (Europe, North America & South America) reveals critical flaws in the global management of the COVID-19 pandemic. Titled “What Lessons Can Be Learned from the Management of the COVID-19 Pandemic?”, this comprehensive review, published two years after the World Health Organization declared the end of the global heal

For centuries, it has been known that the Sun goes through subtle and not-so-subtle changes over time. For instance, when Galileo Galilei pointed his telescope at the Sun, he discovered that the Sun is imperfect and often blotched by dark areas known as sunspots. We now know that sunspots are very large features – often many times larger than the Earth. However, it was only in 1978, when the first satellite missions to continuously monitor the Sun were launched, that it becam

A new international study on the course of the COVID-19 pandemic in six northern European countries has unexpectedly discovered that the pre-existing seasonal nature of coronaviruses may have played more of a role during the pandemic than any of the government public health intervention policies – including vaccinations, lockdowns, masks and travel restrictions. The scientific study was published in the peer-reviewed journal, Journal of Clinical Medicine . The international t

A new international study published in the scientific peer-reviewed journal, Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics , by 20 climate researchers from 12 countries suggests that the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) might have substantially underestimated the role of the Sun in global warming. The article began as a response to a 2022 commentary on an extensive review of the causes of climate change published in 2021. The original review (Connolly and colle

A new study published in the scientific peer-reviewed journal, Climate , by 37 researchers from 18 countries suggests that current estimates of global warming are contaminated by urban warming biases. The study also suggests that the solar activity estimates considered in the most recent reports by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) likely underestimated the role of the Sun in global warming since the 19th century. It is well-known that cities are warme
