The Moon has Been Mildly Preventing Coastal Erosion, in the 2030s, That Protection Ends
Planet Earth is currently experiencing an unprecedented warming trend.

Scientists Have a new way to Predict the Most Damaging Solar Storms
Space is full of hazards. The Earth, and it’s atmosphere, does a great job of shielding us from most of them. But sometimes those hazards are more powerful than even those protections can withstand, and potentially catastrophic events can result. Some of the most commonly known potential catastrophic events are solar flares. While normal solar activity can be deflected by the planet’s magnetic field, resulting in sometimes spectacular auroras, larger solar flares are a danger to look out for. So it’s worth celebrating a team of researchers from the International Space Science Institute which found a way to better track these potentially dangerous natural events.
