An astronaut took this photograph of the Aurora Australis in August 2017. At the time, the International Space Station was moving over the southern Indian Ocean towards the Great Australian Bight and Melbourne, Australia.

After almost 31 years in space studying the protective magnetic bubble that surrounds Earth known as the magnetosphere, NASA's Geotail mission has come to an end.

Geotail's second data recorder, which had been gathering data about the structure and dynamics of our planet's magnetosphere, failed on June 28, 2022. The spacecraft's first data recorder had failed 10 years previous to this in 2012.

Attempts were made to repair the data recorder remotely which subsequently failed, forcing the joint mission with the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) to draw to a close on Nov. 28, 2022. NASA announced the end of the mission in a statement(opens in new tab) on Jan. 18.

These probe in the Earth’s ionosphere which is also the magnetosphere. In Tzolkonics it’s called the Psi Bank or Noosphere. The ScR measures its frequency and amplitude but it’s so complex that scientists struggle to decipher it. As usual, humans who are very attuned to fluctuations in the EMF can feel the changes and how they affect higher mind, especially Reiki practitioners. Reiki energy is…

The Moon May Have Been Covertly Siphoning Earth's Water For Billions of Years

The Moon May Have Been Covertly Siphoning Earth’s Water For Billions of Years

There are water molecules and ice up on the Moon, so how did they get there? Asteroid and comet collisions are likely to have produced some of it, but a new study suggests another source of lunar water: the Earth’s atmosphere.   Hydrogen and oxygen ions escaping from our planet’s upper atmosphere and then combining on the Moon could have created as much as 3,500 cubic kilometers (840 cubic miles)…

This sounds like an interesting conference... 📖

i don’t know how to hack up loogies. times that i’ve tried all i manage to do is make myself projectile vomit. though i bet i could weaponize that like a turkey vulture.

me trying to learn about auroras so i can come up w an explanation as to how deoxys can create them. i am not smart enough for this hello 😭
