Hi, I don’t know much about Geoelectric field ground currents, but I’ve read a bit and watched some videos. My area in the Northeast is lit up today with induced ground currents, presumably from the geomagnetic disturbance the past 36 hours…As I understand, this area is more conductive due to the type of stone, so seems pretty simple. I’d like to learn more.

(I looked this chart up just now because I have a headache that won’t respond to meds and painful teeth. I’m hypersensitive. The Heliobiology guy.)

Also, I miss AcA. Anyone heard anything?

Check out and please support our album of underground drummers playing to recent protest chants.

Incoming.

Solar wind over 500 kilometers per second causes increased agitation of the nervous system through a poorly-understood mechanism. We’re currently around 679kps, a firehose of energy, blasting Earth’s magnetosphere. Like clockwork, the ringing increases in tandem with the (yellow) climbing solar wind speed on NOAA chart. The wind won’t last much longer, caused by a massive coronal hole across the sun’s face this week.

Early buyers are taking their profits and bailing out. Imagine having a lot to invest at the early buy in $135 and then selling, only to buy again when it tanks. The rest of us have to wait, or not participate. Did you buy it yet?

We don't know yet if CMEs are inbound.

SUMMER 2026: El Niño is here. Forecasts indicate a 63% chance of it intensifying into a "super" or very strong event by late in the year. Above-average land temperatures are projected across most of the globe, potentially fueling unprecedented heat waves as El Niño combines with long-term background climate warming. El Niño lowers hurricane season and typically produces higher wind shear over the Atlantic Basin, which generally helps suppress hurricane formation in the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean.

A series of extreme heatwaves has broken thousands of temperature records globally in 2026 as a developing super El Niño combines with long-term background climate warming. The year started with an unprecedented spring, where an early March heat dome shattered over 1,500 daily records in the United States alone, pushing cities like Phoenix past 106°F and setting eight Western states on pace for their hottest year in history. Moving into June, a massive atmospheric oven parked over Western Europe, sending temperatures soaring up to 25 degrees above average and setting new June highs in Paris and across France. Prominent climate scientists warn that these intense local spikes are pushing 2026 to potentially eclipse 2024 as the hottest single year ever recorded on Earth.

From Andrew McCarthy 7 years ago:

"Because in photos like these Mercury is 36 million miles (58 ​mill km)​ ​closer to us than the sun, and therefore larger. This accurately shows everything else in our solar system stacks up against the sun or the other planets.

​Fun Fact: If shown to scale in distance as well, this image would be 28 MILLION pixels wide versus just 11,167. I tried making one to scale but my computer kept crashing.

Each of these images were taken sometime within the last year using my own equipment. The sun was taken using a special solar telescope, and the rest were taken using either my 10" dobsonian telescope or my 8" SCT. The exception is the Earth, which is actually my digital art of an imaginary planet designed to look like the Earth. Sadly the object I am able to capture in the highest resolution (the moon) is a mere 20 pixels wide in this image. I would have loved to include Pluto, but sadly I am yet to capture it. Hopefully that will change soon.

Hello Kickstarters, I'm seeking feedback and encouragement before I launch next week. Short version: I recorded and already released this album on vinyl with two variants, and on CD, and I'm in debt like crazy, but it had to be done.

More detail: I was about to launch this KS last year when the project was picked up by "Record Store Day" for distribution across America ! Yay, except that caused a delay until April 2026. And with their deep discount, we did not break even yet.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/drumcorpse/drum-corpse-volume-1-protest-drums-by-rock-drummers-vinyl?ref=azyfad&token=3a1999a8

Do you think my KS page explains the project clearly, and answers all questions?

Proceeds go to the ACLU to defend democracy. We've made a few donations. Our goal with this Kickstarter is to sell all the remaining black vinyl and CDs, launch a special red vinyl variant, get out of debt, make another big donation to ACLU, and record basic tracks for Volume 2. I need several days in the studio for the next round of basic tracks, which will be another couple thousand$.

There are drummers from some very popular bands on here, but getting the word out has still been a struggle, and finding "followers" and building an audience for this album, which is basically a new music genre of drums and chants only, is an uphill battle.

Nonetheless, we launch Mon/Tues next week, depending on the KS review. So any last minute advice, edit suggestions, thumbs up, or whatever? Thanks, I appreciate it.

Come to r/Heliobiology (<-- CLICK), go to the top of the page, and read through the scientific studies pinned that best explain the science so far of how space weather affects the biosphere.

It is not yet understood. The researchers (and readers here!) are careful not to confuse correlation with causation. My personal experience is one of a two-year process charting my symptoms, and then looking at data from NOAA, and realizing that I am absolutely experiencing causation, sometimes. It is typically those of us with preexisting nervous system hypersensitivity that are affected, as evidenced by the estimate that 10-15% of the population are affected by space weather.

The science confirms my experiences (and yours!) but we are eager for more comprehensive, longer-term studies to be published to explain in more detail.

A teachable moment today...5/26/26

Q: why are my ears suddenly ringing so loud? (Could also be headache, anxiety, etc)

A: I have a hypersensitive nervous system and there is a proton event happening right now, and the influx of energy is "modulating my neural tone". Anyone else?

Look at the top chart from NOAA and you'll see a small C-flare (before midnight last night). This is a great example of how we have to decouple our idea of the flare size from its effects at Earth.

(EDIT: there was also a flare on the far-side of the sun!)

When a flare happens, it is the sun snapping its immensely powerful magnetic field lines, releasing a titanic amount of energy in an instant. This sudden explosion acts like a colossal cosmic cannon, and when the conditions are just right, it triggers what scientists call a proton event, or a solar radiation storm. We're having an "S1" storm today as a result of one of the flares last night.

Imagine the solar flare as the initial blast. The explosion creates massive shockwaves that rip through the solar atmosphere. If the flare is accompanied by a coronal mass ejection of solar plasma, the shockwave acts like a snowplow accelerating everything in its path. The primary targets of this acceleration are hydrogen atoms, which are stripped of their electrons, leaving behind bare protons. Because protons carry a positive electrical charge, the powerful magnetic forces and shockwaves can accelerate them to nearly the speed of light.

The reason this specific event becomes a proton event at Earth depends entirely on magnetic connectivity. The solar system is interconnected by the interplanetary magnetic field, which spirals outward from the spinning sun like water from a rotating lawn sprinkler (the Parker spiral). When a flare erupts on a region of the sun that aligns perfectly with these magnetic highway lines, the accelerated protons have a direct, high-speed route straight to Earth in a matter of tens of minutes to a few hours.

This deluge of high-energy protons is measured as the "D-Region X-rays", hitting Earth's magnetic shield, the magnetosphere. The sheer volume of these fast-moving particles creates a solar radiation storm in the upper atmosphere and near-Earth space. These protons/X-rays collide with air molecules, ionizing them and disrupting the high-frequency radio waves used by commercial airlines flying polar routes, which often forces flights to be rerouted. Additionally, these microscopic bullets can penetrate the sensitive electronic brains of satellites, scrambling data, short-circuiting components, or temporarily blinding the star-trackers they use to navigate.

The protons are traveling at nearly the speed of light with energies exceeding 400 mega-electron volts! When these super-charged protons slam into the top of Earth's atmosphere, they do not actually make it to the ground intact. Instead, they act like high-speed bowling balls crashing into a dense layer of pins, violently colliding with the nitrogen and oxygen atoms in our upper atmosphere.

This violent collision shatters the atmospheric atoms and creates a cascading chain reaction known as an atmospheric air shower of secondary particles. Neutrons, muons, and gamma-ray photons precipitate down to sea level, while the X-rays from the flare stay trapped high in the ionosphere.

Even minor, everyday solar activity plays a profound role in shaping our immediate environment (Nicoll, 2014; Tacza et al., 2018) via the global electric circuit.

New observations reveal that less-than-major solar flares routinely launch smaller, subtler streams of energetic particles toward Earth (Tacza et al., 2018).

While these particles lack the brute force to puncture deep into the dense lower atmosphere on their own, they directly bombard the upper layers, altering atmospheric ionization and slicing through the electrical resistance above thunderstorms (Farrell & Desch, 2002; Tacza et al., 2018).

By lowering this resistance, even minor solar events act like a valve turning a handle, altering the global current flow and shifting the background electric potential gradient right down to the ground level (Cobb, 1967; Tacza et al., 2018).

This constant fluctuation of the ambient electrical environment has ignited intense cross-disciplinary fascination across heliobiology, chronobiology, and magnetobiology (Zenchenko & Breus, 2021).

In magnetobiology, researchers study how subtle shifts in these local fields can be sensed at a cellular level, influencing radical-pair chemical reactions and ion channels in ways that ripple through an organism's nervous system (Zenchenko & Breus, 2021).

These space-weather-driven fluctuations directly interact with biological timing (Zenchenko & Breus, 2021). When minor solar events perturb the Global Electric Circuit and the surrounding geomagnetic field, they alter the natural Schumann resonances and local electrical gradients (Martel et al., 2023).

Studies suggest that these subtle environmental shifts can interfere with the pineal gland’s synthesis of melatonin and disrupt circadian rhythms, manifesting as micro-fluctuations in heart rate variability, blood pressure, and neurological tone across the biosphere (Martel et al., 2023).

What was once considered quiet space weather is now recognized as a complex, continuous dialogue between the sun's magnetic activity and the delicate biosphere on Earth's surface (Zenchenko & Breus, 2021).

Hope this helps, friends. Minor flare, or far-side flare = major effect for me today. De-couple!
