The source of all this geomagnetic activity is giant sunspot 652. Wider than the planet Jupiter, the active region has a twisted magnetic field that harbors energy for powerful X-class solar flares.

I've seen about a dozen birds crash into the windows of my house this year. Ive been at the same location (ohio) for 14 years and havent seen as many 5 the rest of the time. The birds (sparrows, robins, grackels) also seem somewhat agitated. Maybe I am just seeing what I want to see because of all the bird stories recently.

The finding suggests that biodiversity has been strongly influenced by the motion of the solar system through the Milky Way and of the galaxy's movement through intergalactic space.
