CME strikes Earth, sparks solar storm; but it can get worse, reveals NOAA; here is why

Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) has become extremely popular among youth ever since it made a comeback in India. Earlier players were immersed in the PUBG world, however, due to security issues govt had to ban the game in the country. But this was not the end as Krafton designed BGMI specifically for the Indian audience and now it has been awarded the Best Ongoing Game in the Google Play Best of 2023 apps. Now, the game recently launched the 2.9 update with the “Frozen Kingdom” theme and introduced various in-game rewards and new crates for players to play and win.

New Year’s resolutions typically involve adjustments to one’s way of life, like a vow to exercise regularly, or a resolution to travel more in the coming year, but for those who are passionate about the video gaming hobby, a New Year’s resolution can significantly improve the gaming experience, whether on PC or console. Video games are certainly a luxury and a form of entertainment, but they can provide a cathartic break from the stresses of life like any other pastime. Getting into a rut, or developing unfortunate gaming habits, can cause the hobby to bring less joy than it could otherwise. A few resolutions can bring back the feeling of unfettered fun to video games.

The upcoming film adaptation of Norman Reedus Walking Simulator - aka Death Stranding - has signed up arthouse darlings A24.

Ever since the first Steam Deck came out, I’ve been a fan. I bought the Deck in the first wave of units, getting mine a few weeks after it initially launched in 2022, and it has certainly been put through its paces with me. I’ve traveled the world with my Steam library following me wherever I went, from Iceland, Canada and more. I’ve loved this device, even with its limitations.

Developer Ninja Theory made another appearance at The Game Awards, this time with a new trailer for Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. In the trailer, we get confirmation that it's still expected to hit Xbox Series X/S in 2024 alongside a new look at its extremely visceral combat. 

It’s been a wild ride following Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, rife with ups and downs. But with the Indigo Disk DLC around the corner, it appears Game Freak is hyping up the end of Generation 9. Fittingly, trainers can grab Dialga and Palkia in this month’s next Tera Raid event.

Update: GTA 6 couldn’t quite dethrone BTS ultra-hit Butter for the most views on YouTube in 24 hours, but a day after its premature publish, it’s within touching distance of 100 million views – a staggering achievement really. To put this into perspective, the most viewed trailer on the PlayStation channel is the PS4’s reveal video, which has managed 43 million views in ten years. Rockstar’s latest has more than doubled that in a day!

Yesterday, December 5, a minor solar storm struck the Earth sparking auroras in the arctic circles. It was a minor affair, but the solar activities have been relentless with the Sun nearing the peak of its solar cycle. In the last 24 hours, three separate M-class solar flares have erupted on the Sun, releasing extreme ultraviolet radiation. The radiation has resulted in triggering short-wave radio blackouts on Earth, as per data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It is unclear at this point whether any of these eruptions have released coronal mass ejections directed at our planet, which could further cause solar storms in the coming days.

The solar activity on Earth has intensified. Yesterday, December 1, it was reported that a second coronal mass ejection (CME) was headed for the Earth which could turn the ongoing solar storm even more intense, and exactly that happened. A few hours earlier, the second CME made an impact and sparked an incredibly powerful G3-class solar storm. The storm resulted in some of the brightest aurora displays seen across the world. While it has begun subsiding slowly, a NASA model has shown that more CMEs are headed toward the Earth and might make contact with our magnetosphere before the end of the day.

Bigger isn't always better, and that's especially true when it comes to game sequels: just look at the reviews for Skyrim versus Starfield or Cities: Skylines versus Skylines 2.
