Very deep M6.7 earthquake under Flores Sea, Indonesia
A very deep earthquake registered by the BMKG as M6.7 hit under the Flores Sea, Indonesia at 15:35 UTC on August 17, 2018. The agency is reporting a depth of 559 km (347 miles). USGS is reporting M6.5 at a depth of 538.7 km (334 miles). EMSC is reporting M6.1 at a depth of 546 km (339 miles). This earthquake can have a low humanitarian impact based on the magnitude and the affected population and their vulnerability. According to the USGS, the epicenter was located 109.3 km (67.9 miles) NNW of Kampungbajo, 120 km (74.5 miles) N of Labuan Bajo (population 188 724), 150.3 km (93.4 miles) NNW of Ruteng (population 34 569) and 167 km (103.8 miles) NE of Bima (population 66 970), Indonesia. The quake had no tsunami potential, BMKG said. There are about 3 000 people living within 100 km (62 miles). Some 26 659 000 people are estimated to have felt weak shaking. The USGS issued a green alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic los…

Enormous swarm of earthquakes hit near Yellowstone supervolcano
A giant swarm of 153 earthquakes recently hit near the Yellowstone supervolcano, according to the latest data. The data, taken from the University of Utah Seismograph Station, shows a series of earthquakes happening all around Yellowstone, but none higher than a 2.5 magnitude on the Richter scale. Anything above a 5 is classified as a risk by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While the recent string of quakes' intensity is not strong enough to pose a danger, they are a reminder that the area experiences frequent seismic activity. 'BIG ONE' COMING? EARTHQUAKES OFF THE WEST COAST COULD EVENTUALLY TRIGGER A GLOBAL EVENT "Yellowstone earthquake activity remains at background levels," researchers wrote, according to The Daily Mail.  The alert level continues to remain at "normal," indicating the recent swath of earthquakes are not any cause for concern.  Some have professed that a major earthquake co…

A Massive Coronal Hole has opened up on our Sun and is shooting solar wind directly towards Earth
SOLAR WIND SPARKS ARCTIC AURORAS:  A stream of solar wind hit Earth's magnetic field during the late hours of Aug. 15th, sparking beautifulgreenauroras around the barely-dark Arctic Circle. The gaseous material is flowing from a 700,000 km-long fissure in the sun's atmosphere. More auroras are possible on Aug. 16th as Earth moves deeper into the stream.
A massive long coronal hole has opened up on our Sun and is shooting solar wind directly towards Earth at incredible speeds expected to reach 700 km/second.
According to Spaceweather.com NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory photographed the fissure on Aug. 13th pointing directly at Earth: This is a "coronal hole"--a region where the sun's magnetic field opens up and allows a gaseous material to escape.
Solar wind emerging from the hole is expected to reach Earth on Aug. 16th and 17th.
The incoming stream of solar wind may …

Strong and shallow M6.1 earthquake hits northern Alaska
A strong and very shallow earthquake registered by the USGS as M6.1 hit northern Alaska at 14:58 UTC (06:58 local time) on August 12, 2018. The agency is reporting a depth of 9.9 km (6.1 miles). This earthquake can have a low humanitarian impact based on the magnitude and the affected population and their vulnerability. EMSC is reporting Mw6.1 at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles). The epicenter was located 60.9 km (37.8 miles) SW of Elupak and  564.3 km (350.6 miles) NNE of College (population 12 964). There are about 300 people living within 100 km (62 miles). The quake was preceded by M2.5, M3.0 and M3.3 on August 11 and 12 and followed by M5.1 at 15:14 UTC on August 12. Regional seismicity
