Spacequakes Rumble Near Earth

Rumbles without sound
Auroras rain down
Magnetic fields shake
Beware the spacequake

Vortices swirl
plasma a'twirl
Richter predicts
a magnitude six

Please read this very interesting article!

Nice find.
You were right, it was a very interesting article. The elusive ability to predict EM disturbances may have gotten a shot in the arm with this.

Thanks for your reply

You might notice there are two new threads on this subject.. Arken and I both posted about this at the same exact time!

I wonder if the loud booms with no thunder or lightning present that people have been hearing are these space quakes or are they sky quakes and are they perhaps the same thing?

Wonder if this had anything to do with the solar activity thats going on right now.

This also make me think of the How bright the moon has been lately. Any connection between the 2 or 3

Lots going on

Very Interesting - I think you might be right about the noises and disturbances people have reported on this site....

The thing I find interesting is that the more we discover about our world and the environment around it the less we know....

Thank you for posting this very fascinating report. I saved it along with the poem which I might try to illustrate.

w:w!

that is remarkable. the more we know, the less we know, for sure.
and it seems like the more we know, the more it has to do with magnetism and electro-magnetism or else, sound waves.

now this might be a merging of both.
maybe it all is.
i think sound is far more instrumental in our shared reality than we have yet realized.

this would also explain why the auroras are not every night and have seemed to elude any pinning down as far as when to expect their appearance. if they can use this information, somehow, to give a little heads up on when to expect the polar light shows, just think of what kind of beautiful photographs might be had!

cool.

Aurora forecast?
They've been available for a while.

So Phage, you already knew about these "spacequakes" before the report came out? Or were you just saying that auroras fall under your umbrella of knowledge? Because, sure, we know about the causes of auroras and have for a while...

Just curious...

Not so much a forecast but a possible explanation for phenomena berkeleygal and others have been experiencing:

"I wonder if the loud booms with no thunder or lightning present that people have been hearing are these space quakes or are they sky quakes and are they perhaps the same thing?"

There was a desire expressed for aurora forecasts.

I knew about the substorms which trigger the spacequakes, but the bouncy effect that causes the quakes is a new one on me.

But this discovery won't really help aurora forecasting. The thing is, we don't really get much advance information about the plasma balls that cause the spacequakes. It's like knowing about a storm coming but not each gust of wind in the storm.

I wonder do they always spark an aurora, or is it that aurora's just make them visable?

That sun is sure acting crazy as of late. Now it seems to be causing these 'space quakes' as of late.

I hope Michio Kaku was wrong about 2012 and those solar flares.....
