- Pluto’s atmosphere has recently collapsed (Astronomy)
- Neptune’s storms have suddenly begun rotating backwards (SS) and the planet is mysterious cooling down (SS)
- Uranus’ polar regions are visibly flaring (Texplorist)
- Jupiter has recently experienced a 700 degree temperature impulse originating from its northern pole, and its great red spot is fading [SS]
- Mars is suddenly displaying seismic activity (SS)
- Venus’ planetary winds have increased their velocity by 33% in the last 20 years (Space)
It goes on from there, we’ve recently observed:
- large-scale changes in the ice cover on Jupiter’s moon Europa (PhysicsWorld)
- large-scale changes in the polar ice cap on Mars (SS)
- Saturn is losing its rings (The Atlantic)
- a mysterious darkening of the atmosphere of Venus (Astronomy)
- unusual changes in the temperature and pressure of the atmosphere of Neptune (NASA)
- a brightening of the atmosphere of Jupiter (AGU)
Here on earth, our own magnetosphere is rapidly losing it’s strength as our magnetic poles continue to race away from their usual positions, wreaking havoc on animal migrations – see all the beached whales this year as well as the spike in reports of unusual bird sightings.
Things have gotten to the point where we are now updating our magnetic models yearly, and soon there will be zones of flux broken bad enough to cause real danger to flying due to constant magnetic reconnection.
Our aurorae are reaching levels of intensity not normally seen, with recent high-energy’pink’ aurorae being observed.
The fundamental electromagnetic nature of this planet – electromagnetism responsible for a variety of effects on life, most especially cardiac and pulmonary health in humans humans, is changing rapidly.
