Two Huge Solar Storms Race Towards Earth as Japanese Megaquake Disaster Risk Skyrockets 💥

Hello and welcome everyone to the live stream. I'm your host Stefan Burns, geophysicist, geologist, space weather guy. There's a lot happening right now. Because I look at all these different things, solar activity, space weather, earthquakes, volcanic events, and more, also examine interstellar forces, comets, all these things, there is a big convergence of factors taking place over the next 10 days. Between solar storm impacts, between very unusual earthquakes forming in Japan, extremely similar to what occurred directly before the magnitude 9.1 Great Tohoku Earthquake in March of 2011. You also have an extremely precise linear planetary alignment between the Sun, Mercury, the Moon, Earth, and Uranus. So this goes all the way from the center of our solar system out to 20 astronomical units involving the Earth and its Moon, which is one of the main agents of tidal forces, both ocean tides and earth tides, vertical displacement of the Earth on the planet. And these solar storm impacts, these solar flares, there's a ton happening. So I am getting actually pretty worried about what's happening with Japan because this earthquake swarm has not stopped and we are getting new solar flares. Each of these explosions charging up the global electric circuit by blasting the Earth with its high frequency light radiation, extreme ultraviolet light, x-ray light, the same sort of x-rays that you receive at the doctor's office. The doctor says, oh, it's fine, but then they hide behind the wall, right? It's the same frequency of light except a huge, massive amount of it that the Sun will blast off. Light travels in a straight line unaffected by electromagnetic fields. It's creating these electromagnetic fields basically. And that hits the Earth 8.3 minutes later, charges up the atmosphere where it hits by causing molecules to break apart, ionization, therefore we have an ionosphere, the uppermost part of our atmosphere. This creates really strong electric currents. Then if it launches a coronal mass ejection like both of these flares have, the first one at this video is for the 9th of November yesterday. That is a 1.7x class flare, this one right there, and then the one that happened just a few hours ago is a 1.2x class flare. That launched an even bigger coronal mass ejection out of space. Sometimes they launch plasma outwards, sometimes they don't, sometimes they do. Those take longer to reach Earth, about let's say 24, 48, 72 hours. It depends on the velocity. Both of these are expected to come in on the 12th of November. So we already are having the global electric circuit get charged up. We've already had some long duration geomagnetic storming. We have a pretty big impact coming in. I'm expecting G3 levels minimum. That would be a strong geomagnetic storm. So we can see here with our scale rating, 1 is minor, 2 is moderate, 3 is strong. We could even get to severe levels. I don't think we're going to go extreme with these impacts, but you never know. But probably G3 minimum, and I wouldn't be surprised if you have G4 storming. This does bring into question issues with the power grids and satellites and radio communication and more. But one of the reasons why that happens is because these really strong geomagnetically induced currents that get created by that ionization of the ionosphere, and that's how the global electric circuit charges. You get these electric currents that flow in the upper atmosphere and induce currents to flow in the ground surface or anything that's conductive. So in this case like transmission lines. But in the case of earthquakes it's the actual earth itself hosting these really powerful electric currents which can well maybe cause a fault to rupture. There's quite a bit of evidence for that in fact. So we've now had two big X-class flares exactly from Earth Direct with solar storms coming in. Let's check out our coronagraph imagery so we can see this happen. Look at this. This is our 24-hour coronagraph imagery. Look at that perfect full halo solar storm headed inbound quickly too. The one from the 1.7 X-class flare was not as nice looking as this. It wasn't as fast. So I think this is going to catch up to the one that was launched yesterday. They're going to sandwich together and then probably sweep by the earth around the 12th of November. Sometime the 12th. Maybe pushes out to the 13th. I don't I think it's going to be the 12th. And then you have this planetary alignment that's forming very rapidly. And that is a big concern because we see these sort of enhanced energetic events on the planet during significant planetary alignments. This is one of the most significant ones we've had in a while. We have an even bigger one coming up in January of 2026 but this is definitely one to watch. So let me show you that. We have our display view here of the solar system thanks to solar system scope. And we zoom out. This is set for today November 10th. Okay so here we have the 10th of November and you'll see maybe if I move over here this will be better. We see earth, the moon, mercury, the sun, and then behind the earth we have Uranus. So we're approaching our annual Uranus opposition where it's sun, earth, Uranus. But look what happens if I just zoom forward a little bit. I'm just going to drag this right to about the 19th, 20th of November. Look at that. All of a sudden we have the sun, mercury, moon, earth, and Uranus in a line. And there's people have been doing research on this for a long time now. One notable researcher, his name is J.H. Nelson. He was really looking into planetary alignments as it affected solar activity, sunspot formation, geomagnetic storming, and radio frequency communication back in like the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s. Because back then they didn't have a lot of the space weather tools that we have now, all the satellites and more. So he was like working for RCA and they're like you need to figure out some way to be able to forecast when we could get disturbances. He took it upon himself and noticed very strong correlations between planetary alignments, sunspot activity, solar flares, and geomagnetic storming. So he wrote a book on this called Cosmic Patterns. It's a short read. I've read through it. I've applied his methodology now to successfully forecast solar activity and geomagnetic storming a few times. We also do tend to see enhanced earth events around planetary alignments because of electromagnetic gravitational forces and perhaps even more like morphic resonance forces at play. But right here on the 19th and 20th, this is our new moon and we have our Uranus opposition and this is a Mercury retrograde because we had Mercury go retrograde on the 9th from the perspective of Earth. Mercury is now moving backwards so we get inferior conjunction of Mercury on the 19th 20th of November. So new moon inferior conjunction of Mercury and Uranus opposition all together boom on the 19th and 20th which is looking very dynamic. So this is building and then this is also in a harmonic configuration a 60 degree sextile to Saturn Neptune as we see here getting closer and closer to their great conjunction that's coming up. Let's go back to that. So this is a 60 degree angle there and then we notice that Pluto is also in this 60 degree angle to Saturn Neptune. So that means that Pluto is 120 degrees trine to this alignment here and Nelson identified Mercury as being the activator of these alignments because of its fastest orbital velocity around the sun and also because of its proximity to the sun. So it seems that when Mercury sweeps in that's when these alignments get activated and you get significant events to unfold. So that is a factor that if I wasn't watching would put a damper on everything like if you're not aware of the planetary alignments and stuff what's happening now isn't necessarily extremely unusual or concerning though the earthquake activity off the coast of Japan is basically regardless this is just adding like a plus five to everything effectively because we're building up to that. So let's look at our earthquake map from the USGS because I really think that there's a very high likelihood now like a very high likelihood now of there being a magnitude eight or greater earthquake in Japan in the next 10 days. I would say if you want to really widen the time frame because we don't know when something's going to happen or if it's going to happen let's keep that in mind nothing could happen beyond what has happened but for the rest of this month because the planetary geometry has a bit of a window on it but this could happen even sooner than that this could happen within hours or days and I don't I don't like making these sort of forecasts but this is a sort of activity that you see before something really big happens and all the factors are aligning. So here we have what's been happening in Japan this is set for the 8th of I believe it's I set this for the 8th of yeah November going all the way up to now if we set this for earthquakes on the map we see a 5.2 7.4 6.0 here's this magnitude 6 that just occurred within a few hours and if we go further down you'll see a 6.4 here's a 6.4 that occurred yesterday and a 6.8 that occurred yesterday during that time frame we've had those three big x class or those two big x class fires the 1.7 and the 1.2 both of them launching solar storms our way and actually this 1.2 x class fire from today it has triggered an s1 proton radiation storm so we already have high energy particles flowing in from the solar wind from that explosion charging up the ionosphere especially in the polar regions the auroral circuit and everything is really getting supercharged right now and then those electric currents kind of bleed out to the equator and to the lower latitude regions on our planet so we have an s1 proton radiation storm multiple solar storm impacts coming in a really significant planetary alignment coming up November 19th and 20th and we have this earthquake swarm which is extremely reminiscent of what occurred directly before the magnitude 9.1 great tohoku earthquake march 11th of 2011 that was at 5 46 a.m and that was defined primarily by a magnitude 7.3 foreshock but also a ton of other things like this i counted up the magnitude 5s i think this one right here maybe i haven't accounted for because it just came in but there when i counted there have been 22 magnitude 5 earthquakes or greater in this location that's not accounting for the magnitude 6s so three magnitude 6 earthquakes now 6.8 6.4 and 6 22 magnitude 5 or greater so 5.0 to 5.9 and then tons of 4s even more 3s even more 2s this is exceptionally anomalous and not normal and is very much indicative of this being a foreshock sequence to something big and probably not just a magnitude 7 something 7.0 7.9 um if we were to get a magnitude 7.5 let's say i would even say that's probably still part of the foreshock this really is looking like a megaquake earthquake foreshock sequence where magnitude 8 or greater great tohoku earthquake magnitude 9.1 so this is really really significant and i hope my forecast is wrong but i think that is probably actually the most likely outcome it's the majority percentage if i had to base percentages i say that there's more than a 50 chance right now of this being something um heralding something really big coming to japan which is something be aware of because the great tohoku earthquake that epicenter was right here and then this entire area in fact for the months afterwards experienced extreme seismic activity so it's almost in the exact same location super close to the coast of japan and also these earthquakes if i set this for our largest magnitude you'll notice there they are shallow in depth 10.0 10.0 11.2 so you need a shallow big earthquake to create a significant tsunami if this was uh let's say a magnitude 8 earthquake that occurs at 300 kilometers of depth and sometimes we get these really big deep earthquakes it's actual an energy explosion underground if that was to occur you're not going to get tsunami from that it's too deep but if you have it really close to the surface that allows the the actual geologic layers you know slip and break and you either get this uplift or downlift and that pushes the water to create that tsunami wave because it's happening so close to the coast it's going to hit almost instantly if it does so this is really really looking significant and this magnitude 6 that came in today only further strengthens that forecast because this is already looking pretty troubling there and then we continue to have magnitude 5s now we have this magnitude 6 and yes it is right now going 6.8 6.4 and 6 so it there is a decay function to this but typically it's one order of magnitude less for the aftershocks so a 6.8 being the big earthquake would mean that the highest aftershock typically would be magnitude 5.8 5.9 or 6 but this is a 6.4 or 6.8 6.4 and 6 with 22 or more magnitude 5 earthquakes they keep popping off it's like a magnitude 4 plus every hour or so sometimes even greater than that so that's the other thing there's such a huge number of these magnitude 5s that's very anomalous and if you go up here Kamchatka is the site of the greatest earthquake we've had this year the sixth strongest ever observed with modern seismic gear a magnitude 8.8 megaquake there's been a ton of magnitude 7s 6s and 5s here it's still swarming effectively though that has died off a little bit just in the past few days but this all the seismic energy release has been loading this zone because you have the fault rupture or faults rupture and you have this actual displacement wave right this sound wave a seismic wave is a sound wave so the particles are either compressing together like this or they're shearing like this or you get this rolling surface wave motion motion that is actually loading energy into molecular structures and into fault zones so when you have a rupture on a fault and with for the magnitude 8.8 it was like nearly this entire section ruptured there which makes sense because it's a big earthquake right six out six largest ever observed there was a magnitude 9 here in 1952 by the way so 1952 magnitude 9 2025 magnitude 8.8 well this area gets ruptured these zones here go into earthquake shadow because they also have a lot of stress taken off of them the areas that outside that earthquake shadow actually get loaded with energy so this area has been loaded with a ton of energy since july when this earthquake activity started that magnitude 8.8 being july 29th and in fact we forecasted that on the channel here three days in advance we were looking at overall global earthquake trends paired with space weather because there's really strong connection between them based off of my research you can do your own research if you want just yeah and then uh i would say hey we're likely due for a mega quake in 2025 like a few months in advance i started releasing some videos occasionally on that risk factor because we hadn't had a magnitude 8 or greater earthquake for four years typically we get one every single year and then three days before this occurred the magnitude 8.8 i released a video examining the highest risk seismic zones for the near future and this is the first zone identified because it was the highest risk of all of them and i specifically said it is possible that we get a magnitude 8.5 or greater there in the near future and then three days later the 29th of july we did so we've been doing some accurate earthquake forecasting here by looking at all these factors again the the actual earthquake activity is really important then you add in the space weather and solar factors and the planetary alignments and you really get some pretty incredible results there's also an antipodal action happening so one of the new developments i've said this before but this right here Kamchatka the antipode the exact opposite side of the globe for that is right about here and we've been getting a lot of earthquakes here in the scotia sea magnitude sevens we've had a 7.3 7.4 7.5 and they've been going back and forth like this so it's been a reciprocal almost like ping pong ping pong ping pong with these earthquakes well if you look Kamchatka is not that far from japan which means that its antipode is in the pretty much the same location so its antipode is more about over here roughly this zone so the two areas of greatest seismic energy release thus far in 2025 which would be Kamchatka and the right here are nearly exactly antipodal and what's happening with japan right now is not that far off of it this isn't like Papua New Guinea or something this is really close to Kamchatka so its antipode is pretty much in the same location there's some larger force factor at play here related to probably the core and the mantle and at that core mantle boundary and going up to the surface that's influencing this axis of seismic activity through the earth itself from here to there and that's another reason why i think that we could get something really big here because this is right in that zone it's been loaded with all that energy and we have these solar storm impacts coming in so here we can look at our latest space weather model for the 1.2 x class flare that just came in this was just released we see this basically a direct impact high velocity this comes in on the 12th at 6 a.m universal time according to nasa and so this is the top down view we're looking at the sun here's the earth in yellow we're looking down on the solar system okay here we see for example venus mars there's mercury see how mercury is moving towards that inferior conjunction that sun mercury earth alignment we often get enhanced activity with earthquakes around that uh the one of the last inferior conjunctions that happened this year march 21st to 23rd of 2025 we had venus and mercury both simultaneously perform an inferior conjunction and then just a few days afterwards we had that magnitude 7.7 earthquake in Myanmar Burma near Thailand and so that was the strongest earthquake that we had had at that moment in time since the magnitude 7.8 and 7.5 earthquakes in Turkey back in February 2023 so these alignments really mercury is a really big activator here now here we're looking at the vertical plane so this is south this is north here's the earth there's the sun we see that this is pretty much aligned with the earth it's a direct shot folks so that coronal mass ejection that was launched today is a direct shot i mean it's going slightly it's skewed slightly above the ecliptic plane you see that maybe the bulk of it's more about right here and then for this angle we see the bulk of it's more probably right about there but it's basically a direct shot and we look at our cc or one chronograph view again uh it just further confirms that it is really clearly a direct shot so here's our chronograph view one more time boom shakalaka there is that full halo chromas ejection launching straight towards us see these right there see these other features that are launching um specific specifically that first one's really nice see how it forms like almost like a donut shape right there look at that that's showing the shock wave propagating up to the north and uh this one though we see it differently because it's going right towards us now what's interesting about this is that in fact it's headed right towards a comet that we've been tracking that has brightened 250 times so it's 250 times brighter unexpectedly and it's exactly in alignment with the sun and the earth right now so let me pull that up to show you what i'm talking about here we have a comet c2025 t1 atlas and this was originally down at a parent magnitude about negative 16 or so um and i think it's negative 16 and yeah about 16.5 and now it's around 10 so it's about 16.5 to 16 originally uh now it's about 10 to nine and a half and this comet is exactly aligned with the earth and the sun at this moment time where that coronal mass ejection i kind of pointed out not the one headed towards us so the one right before it launched out and we see this connection between comets and solar activity and often earthquakes too there seems to really be connection to all this because 3i atlas is also still very close into the sun and it's not just a comet or something it's an interstellar object it's really really bizarre it's been growing its tail very rapidly here we can look at that imagery here we see the tail on 3i atlas that's just rapidly developed it's spewing out multiple jets this is imagery from the 9th of november i'll link this in the video description uh the astronomer's website for this and as 3i atlas moves further away from the sun it starts to have more of a kind of perpendicular arrangement for our viewing here on earth and so maybe this tail is streaming out behind it and we just couldn't see it but it really seems that it's turned on significantly just in the past couple days and typically tails take some time to develop and we weren't really seeing it before it did its superior conjunction with the sun on october 21st and that's perihelion on the 29th this seems to have rapidly developed especially the jet activity which i showed you in a recent video here we have our sky live and so we see the alignment here's our our comet c2025 t1 atlas look at how right now today november 10th it is exactly in line with the sun and the earth so you can see it very clearly right here exactly in that earth sun alignment though it's well above the ecliptic plane but again we had that coronal mass ejection launch off in that direction before this big full halo and this is brightened 250 times so it's receiving some amount of energy from the sun of course it's perihelion is on the 2nd of december and that's a distance of 1.1 astronomical unit so as it gets closer in it's going to be receiving more solar radiation these are light photons but it's also getting some of this these solar storms launched towards it clearly and it increasing brightness 250 times means that it's now more of a plasma body than it was before it's ionized to a good degree it's been releasing gas and dust that ionizes in interplanetary space and as a result it forms a very strong electromagnetic field around it and electromagnetism being so much stronger of a force than gravity you know the gravitational significance and influence between the two of these is very minor especially a comet it has almost no gravity but that's the thing because that's so low gravity it can really expand out this cloud of gas dust and plasma around it which then can be very powerful as a force in relation to the sun and the overall interplanetary space and field because typically there's nothing there all of a sudden you drop effectively a big magnet there right to think of this really simply you have this field of potentials and then you drop a big magnet in a place that you normally don't have one it's going to affect things because electromagnetism 10 to 36 times more powerful than gravity that's so many zeros right it's a lot it's a huge amount so much more powerful than gravity gravity is not irrelevant but electromagnetism is the dominant guiding force in most things so again gravity is not irrelevant but it's it's not as important it's not the only thing which a lot of mainstream science is like only the only thing about gravity ever they never thinking really about electromagnetism and some of these aspects and opening their mind there a lot of people are so more and more people are coming online with this understanding of plasma cosmology which is awesome and it's both it's not one or the other so we have that we see three atlas is still very close into the sun right here it's still well within the orbit of mars it's going to leave this inner solar system if we're defining that by the orbit of mars very end of november and then it starts its long journey to jupiter unless it does something bizarre and unexpected but right now it's growing that tail we see that we're looking at it slightly off angle so that tail is mostly pointed away from the earth so if you go back here again keep in mind this tail is stretched out actually kind of at that angle we're not seeing it perfectly laterally which means that this is actually quite a bit of a longer tail than a lot of people think so in a few weeks if this tail remains it's going to be quite long which means that there's a lot of off gas in here so it's clearly has a lot of volatiles to it and that means they're volatilizing very quickly so ice going straight to gas at hypersonic speeds carrying dust with it this is creating a very large plasma field around it just like the other comets in the solar system and that's interacting with the earth from a different angle than the one that i just showed you t1 atlas it's interacting from it but the thing with 3i atlas is that it's along the ecliptic plane so it's right there in the solar wind in the electric electric current inward flowing of interplanetary space and i we've seen really clearly how it's been influencing solar activity at least you can make that argument because these big sunspots that we have right now let's look at them we have our big sunspots right here this guy formed on the earth-facing side as well as this one here it was originally like over here though but this guy formed on the earth-facing side more about a month ago now and then it rotated off it didn't do anything on earth facing a month ago like you know early mid-october it wasn't really doing anything the moment we had the alignment with 3i atlas the superior conjunction so the 3i atlas on earth on the 21st boom we started getting big solar storms launching off from this one and then it rotated all the way through after having a huge period of solar activity that has continued now with multiple x class flares high m class flares and it hasn't stopped so there is a very strong connection in time between all these things and what we track on the channel is we see that happen time and time again so you can't just keep stacking coincidences up and say that they're coincidence because if you get a tall enough tower it's like that just can't be coincidence anymore there's something to this and we have a tower that's like it's a jenga tower going up to the empire state building it's crazy we've been tracking this for a while now and they just keep lining up and we've been forecasting this i forecasted that there was going to be very likely enhanced solar activity due to the superior conjunction of 3i atlas through the perihelion back in july actually just a few days before that magnitude 8.8 megaquake and then two and a half months later that's what we saw and now it's continuing and now it's earth facing and now we're seeing really anomalous activity off the coast of japan and more solar storm impacts here we have noah's space weather model that does not take into account this new wave from the x the 1.2 x class flare so we see three two waves right here with their model here's two spikes in the plasma density now we have to add a third in they're probably going to update this model within a few hours i don't think it's up to date right now i can check right now to see if it's updated as i've been doing this live stream but i don't think um no they haven't updated it so we actually have one two three waves the first one was expected to come in today on the 10th early in the morning universal time that has not happened but they also kind of show us us like slipping through the gaps maybe it's still coming in the second wave is from the 1.7 x class flare yesterday that is more definitive and a sure surefire hit that is coming in on the 12th according to them or late on the 11th universal time and then this new one is coming in and that nasa model shows it coming in around 6 a.m on the 12th so i think we're going to get a sandwich effect and that's why i think we're likely mg3 storming so we have this anomalous earthquake storm in japan we have this planetary alignment that's coming up and one other thing that's interesting to before the great tohoku earthquake on the 9th we had a 2.2 x class flare and well yesterday is when we had the magnitude 6.8 and 6.4 earthquakes in japan that's when we had the 1.7 x class flare so they're nearly exactly identical that 2.2 x class flare on march 9th 2011 was exactly from earth direct i mean some really wild synchronicities occurring right now uh and we also have some more too if we look here really quick check this out here is the uh the astrological chart for the great tohoku earthquake and i'm not doing an interpretation on this i just want you to look at one thing okay we want to see where the position of the planets and their relation to each other is in the sky and here we see the moon right there at zero degrees the cusp of gemini and torus okay so that's exactly where the moon was when that earthquake ruptured it was at the very end of torus beginning of gemini okay so this isn't this is the signs not the constellations we'll look at constellations soon but we're just using it to get a specific degree point you'll also notice that we have mercury and uranus less than three degrees conjunct so we have mercury and uranus that are nearly conjunct and we have the moon at that location now if we go over here to our our true sky map let's actually switch this back to tropical just so we can look at those degree points we i don't care about the signs right now this isn't about the signs um we see that this is set for the uh the new moon when we have this planetary alignment look at where uranus is it's at the cusp of torus and gemini so where the moon was for the great tohoku earthquake now is where uranus is and it's in opposition with mercury and the moon is in opposition so this is a moon opposition to that great tohoku earthquake moon location and it's also now the moon's on that point earth the moon being related to tidal forces being related to the people being related to um earthquakes and more you know earthquakes vary with the lunar cycle and then we get mercury here now in this opposition uranus so it's really quite striking the synchronicity the exact alignments between these now if we go here let's switch this back to our true sky position which is our actual constellations in the sky um we'll check this out here we go and so we see this is uh our sun moon and mercury all less than one degree apart actually it's only like 15 arc minutes apart from each other and then uranus there is less than two degrees off from that so nearly exact alignment here i have this set for tokyo japan at the exact time of this alignment but uh this could happen at any time if there is a big earthquake or something like we don't know but it's very very very reminiscent right now and the activity is almost identical but the reason i'm showing you this chart is to show you those angles so this is the alignment right there's that alignment there look at this configuration that we also have this right here is trying to jupiter which is trying to saturn and uh neptune so we have this also harmonic trine configuration and here are those sextile configurations there and then jupiter is in a fairly close opposition to pluto it's it's within 10 degrees it's i think it's at like six degrees off maybe it's a little bit further off than that but that's a you know it's still marked as an opposition so we have this really incredible planetary geometry coming into effect on november 19th and 20th mercury being the activator it's going to sweep through like this um so really incredible stuff happening there and we hope that nothing happens but we we just really can't be sure now the other thing i just want to show you quickly is that that comet c 2025 t1 atlas the here's the brightness increase on it okay so it was down about 16.5 right here this is mid-october now we're approaching mid-november in less than a month it has increased 250 times in brightness so it's completely uh defied its expected light curve and if we reset everything we see that it was well under expectations and now it is above expectations and so it's really getting bright it's perihelion again on the 2nd of december today exactly in that sun earth alignment though it is well above the ecliptic plane it just had a solar storm launch out towards it here we have our proton flux showing that we're in this s1 proton radiation storm right here so we see that we had that 1.2 x cos flare immediately our proton flux at greater than 10 mega electron volt levels increased to over the s1 threshold this is another factor that's influencing the global electric circuit charging it up we see that our greater than 50 mega electron volt protons have gone up as well normal values are about 0.15 to 0.2 this is being measured at geosynchronous orbit 5.6 earth radii out from the planet and well if we look our now we're at 22 for our uh goes uh for our greater than 10 mega electron volt flux so 0.2 to 22 that's a big increase right we're talking two orders of magnitude um so it's a 100 time increase in the amount of energetic particles coming in that are 10 mega electron volts or greater in their energy that is uh i believe everything is happening basically here we have our sun spots and we see that we hit this bottom right there went down to about 20 then we've leapt up now to over 160 so that's the sort of rebound that you can have after these really big dips you get right now solar flux effectively is really concentrated in those sun spots um so when they went off the earth facing side sunspot numbers plummeted then when they rotated back boom so that's the other thing each sunspot is a concentration of magnetic flux on the sun so let's look at this guy because this thing is really quite crazy this is a pretty significant sunspot the the magnetic field strength here is on the order of thousands of gauss whereas earth's magnetic field for reference is 0.23 to 0.67 gauss roughly so thousands of gauss and they form these twisty magnetic vortices and think that that doesn't affect what's directly in front of it well it does so we have this massive sunspot many times the size of the earth if you put the earth there it's probably about that big maybe a little bit bigger maybe it's more like that size the earth is not big in this comparison okay this is many times bigger than the earth because look how big it is on the sun so you have this massive field of magnetic flux directly in front of the earth with its magnetic field and the electromagnetic force again 10 to 36 times more powerful than gravity so that's also twisting and churning everything the interplanetary magnetic field in between the electric field everything is being topsy-turvy and turned around and churned up and twisted and fluxed as a result of this and so that is quite significant we have a geomagnetic storm soon to hit us because of these waves of plasma from the from the x-class flares we can look at that really quick here's our two x-class flares right here and as a result we're going to have enhanced geomagnetic volatility so everything is looking prime for that to be something big to happen as it relates to a geologic event and that's why japan is looking so troubling because it's showing exactly the sort of seismic activity that is kind of necessary for there to be a big earthquake that's the zone of highest seismic risk if i had to give a forecast just like i did three days before the magnitude 8.8 in russia this right now by far is the zone of highest seismic risk on the planet does that mean that it's going to be the location where we get the next big earthquake maybe not maybe the next magnitude seven or greater is somewhere else but if i had to create a list and put them one two this would be number one and be number one by far number two would probably be up here because we've been continuing to get foreshock of a weird swarm activity here though that doesn't show in the past few days but over the past few months if you look at the data you'll see that and i would put down here as number three because this also looks like it's kind of building up to something but of course there's plenty of locations we've been having some earthquake activity in turkey here as you can see so this is also a spot to watch afghanistan is another spot to watch there's been a lot of earthquake activity in afghanistan that's been a bit troubling especially near kabul and jalalabad here so there are other places that are looking quite prime and we have zones also like new zealand where the alpine fault is at its recurrence interval of about 300 years last big earthquake there magnitude 8 or so was 1717 and well it hasn't done a big magnitude 8 now for a while so that's also looking prime but that could be 50 years out we don't know same with for example uh the west coast united states uh the hayward fault sandreas fault they're they're pretty much ready to go but we don't know when the cascadia fault same deal but they're not showing that active foreshock activity like we're seeing in japan so that's why i'm really concerned about japan right now so please say your prayers for japan because they just had that magnitude 9.1 and it looks like something big is gearing up uh again and we have all these factors converging so i've been your host stefan burns thank you all so much for watching uh please smash that like button help this channel grow subscribe if you like to stay up to date with what is happening with the earth energetically i release videos almost daily exactly like this we look at the earth earthquakes volcanic activity energetic changes geomagnetic storming solar activity space weather solar flares solar storms planetary alignments the geometry of them planetary residences and these other factors like comets interstellar forces cosmic and more so if you like the sound of that hope to see you here wishing each and every single one of you well please take care of yourself say your prayers for japan because this is looking really concerning potentially something big happening in just hours to days we don't know we hope i am wrong i really hope i'm wrong here and and well i'm not saying it's going to i'm giving you a probability that this is much more likely than normal that's that's the thing it's not a yes or no it's a we have a much higher probability now of there being something big to occur because of all these factors that's what it boils down to and well we just hope that that probability isn't the one that comes up on the bingo card so i'll see you all very very soon thanks for watching and have a great day
