Global ‘time signals’ subtly shifted as the total solar eclipse reshaped Earth’s upper atmosphere, new data shows

by

As millions of people looked up to the sky to see the moon temporarily (and completely) block out the sun during the April 8 total solar eclipse, the extraordinary cosmic event also shifted invisible “time signals” being beamed from the U.S. across the globe, new data shows. But don’t worry, these altered signals did not … Read more

Antarctica’s active volcano emits 2.8oz gold per day

by

In a recent discovery, scientists found that the highest active volcano in Antarctica is emitting gold particles along with volcanic gases. Mount Erebus which is still volcanically active was detected spewing gold with emissions. In fact this discovery was made in 1991 first by American geologists.  The new finding remains consistent with the 1991 spotting … Read more
