Updated throughout with recent developments and additional illustrations Reveals how solar outbursts caused the end of the last ice age, unleashed catastrophe upon ancient advanced civilizations, and led to six millennia of a Solar-Induced Dark Age Includes evidence from solar...

In light of Heinrich Hertz’s experiments surrounding the Maxwellian electromagnetic theory of light, Tesla seeks to further validate his own system, which had thus far acquired little understanding. In this article, Tesla specifically focuses on some disturbances he observed in his own research and what they teach us about the behavior of energy. This article mainly expands on the effect solar radiation has on the wireless transmissions.

How much do you know about the radiation all around you? Your electronic devices swarm with it; the sun bathes you in it. It's zooming at you from cell towers, microwave ovens, CT scans, mammogram machines, nuclear power plants, deep space, even the walls of your basement. You cannot see, hear...

The eBook on solar flares explores one of the most powerful and fascinating phenomena in our solar system. Solar flares, sudden and intense bursts of radiation from the Sun, have significant impacts on Earth's technological systems and human activities. Beginning with an in-depth explanation of what solar flares are and how they form, the eBook dives into the various types, characteristics, and features that define these solar eruptions. It highlights historical events such as the 1859 Carrington Event and modern solar flares like those in 2017, analyzing their effects on society, ...

Sunshine is good for you! While too much sun causes wrinkles and raises other health concerns, a lack of sun exposure, our primary source of vitamin D can cause serious health problems, such as osteoporosis, certain cancers, and diabetes. Dr. Holick, the discoverer of the active form of vitamin D, has pulled together an impressive body of evidence in support that no one should be-as he puts it- a sunphobe, or, for that matter, a sun worshipper. His conclusion: relatively brief, but unfettered exposure to sunshine and its equivalent can help to ward off a host of debilitating and sometimes ...

There is a Michigan connection to ARTEMIS 2, which is taking American astronauts to the moon for the first time in 50 years. WWJ's Tony Ortiz spoke with University of Michigan Professor Lulu Zhao, who is leading a project to forecast space weather that could affect the mission.
