🔥 The surface of Venus is ~460°C
📄🔥Paper ignites at ~230°C
So yes — the diary is on fire for a reason.
And now seriously: humans wouldn’t last a second on Venus. It’s not just the heat — the pressure (92 times greater than Earth’s) would crush you too 💥
Still, robotic probes have made it to the surface. The Soviet Venera landers actually landed there — with Venera-13 holding the record at ~127 minutes ⏱️ (journaling, however, was never part of the mission)

THE PLANET IS MOVING IN EXTREMES — ALL AT ONCE
The Earth isn’t responding in just one way right now.
Widespread snow, ice, and record cold across parts of the U.S.
Dangerous heat building in Australia.
Powerful wind and flood systems lining up across parts of Europe.
Moderate earthquakes occurring along the Pacific, including in less-typical areas.
Recent solar activity continuing to disturb Earth’s magnetic environment.
These aren’t isolated events.
Cold in one region. Extreme heat in another. Wind, flooding, seismic movement, and atmospheric instability unfolding at the same time.
This isn’t about panic or predictions.
It’s about recognizing patterns.
When extremes begin stacking instead of spacing out, it tells a bigger story.
Are you noticing unusual conditions where you are?

In just 36 days, we have seen net pole displacement that would normally take 5 years to accumulate through typical secular drift
5 years down to 36 days
This roughly equates to an 18 foot shift of the geographic north pole over a full year. Not supposed to be possible
A DANGEROUS ARCTIC BLAST is coming this weekend, with temperatures expected to fall to record-breaking levels, especially in the Southeast.
This could lead to a winter storm along the East Coast.
So sad. This is the home of an 84 year old grandmother in Graiguenamanagh, County Kilkenny, in southeastern Ireland today.
Completely flooded due to Storm Chandra.
🇮🇩 BREAKING: A huge fire has ripped through the Swallow Factory in Medan Deli, Kota Medan, on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia tonight.
The factory is a major manufacturer of rubber products, specifically tires, inner tubes, and rubber sandals.
No reports on injuries so far.
On the afternoon of January 26, a M5.5 earthquake struck Diebu County, Gansu Province, China, with a measured maximum intensity of VIII. Fortunately, the earthquake caused no casualties, but a small number of houses sustained cracks.
Another very fast CME that missed us: the 4 November 2003 CME from the ~X45 flare, the strongest instrumentally recorded flare so far. The flare was on the limb, so the CME was blasted sideways with only a small Earth-directed component. The CME blasted out at ~2300-2700 km/s. Not quite as fast as the previous three CMEs (all 3000+ km/s), but this one was still a major event. And yet another miss. Lucky.
This is how big the Sun really is 🌞
Suddenly, our entire planet looks like a tiny grain drifting beside a blazing giant. A giant capable of unleashing storms and flares powerful enough to disrupt life on Earth!

A convergence of planetary and lunar harmonics on 26 January can trigger stronger (M≥5.5) tremors on 26-28 January, potentially reaching magnitude 6-7.
Some day - maybe in Solar Cycle 25 or in 50 or more years - we will see a CME like this directed at us. This is the 23 July 2012 'perfect solar storm' CME. Launch speed: ~3400 km/s. Speed at Earth: ~2300 km/s. Bt = 109 nT (the strongest ever measured). Bz (min) = ~-50 nT. Had it hit the Earth it would have caused a storm with DSTmin = -700 to -1200 nT. Carrington level. If you are keeping count this is at least the third far-side CME with 3000+ km/s since 2012. It is about equally likely or unlikely that we'd have had all three launched directly our way. Super lucky (or unlucky).
🚨🇺🇸 Meanwhile across America
These scenes are from Texas, as the severe snowstorm starts hitting - 18 different States have already declared a state of emergency.
