Earth's Inner Core Alert 🚨
The inner core rotation stopped in 2025 and now started movement in the reverse, massive earthquakes are likely to occur.

Earth's Inner Core Shifts: Will the Sun Rise from the West?

Experts say that the Earth's inner core, which behaves like a hot, heavy magnet, had slowed down its rotation since 2010 (some reports suggest it had stopped rotating) but has now started rotating in the opposite direction in 2025. This change indicates significant transformations on the Earth's surface. As a result, deep-sea creatures are appearing on shores, and changes are observed in ocean water patterns.

When the Earth's inner core rotates in the opposite direction, massive earthquakes are likely to occur. Moreover, when the inner core completes its rotation in the opposite direction, it will mark the beginning of a period where the sun will rise from the west. According to Islamic teachings, the gates of repentance will be closed during this time.

Now that science has confirmed the Earth's inner core is rotating in the opposite direction, is there still any doubt about the sun rising from the west?

Earth's Inner Core Shift Sparks Curiosity: As the inner core rotates in the opposite direction, massive earthquakes are likely to occur.

TSUNAMI ALERT : South Pacific Region on High Alert ⚠️

Another strong 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit near Tonga, prompting an initial tsunami warning that was later lifted for the Pacific island country.

The US Geological Survey said the quake hit about 100 kilometres northeast of the main island in the early morning hours of Monday local time.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii issued an alert saying hazardous waves could be possible but later said there was no longer a tsunami threat.

Tsunami sirens could be heard after the 1:18 am quake urging residents to move inland, according to the Talanoa o Tonga news site. There were no initial reports of damage.

Residents in the Ha'apai island group had calmly moved to higher ground, the report said.

Tonga is a country in Polynesia made up of 171 islands with a population of a little more than 100,000 people, most of whom live on the main island of Tongatapu.

It is more than 3,500 kilometres off Australia's east coast.

Planetary alignments aren’t rare — but 6 visible planets are.

Tonight, you can see the Planet Parade of 2025. Here's how to watch and what you need to know:

Four bright planets will be visible with the naked eye — Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars. For those with binoculars or a small telescope, Uranus and Neptune also become visible, making six planets accessible at once.

And there's more. Comet ATLAS is now visible as well. After surviving its close encounter with the Sun, the comet has a brightness of around magnitude –3, making it a standout celestial event.

Venus and Saturn appear close together in the West to Southwest during the first couple of hours after dark, while Jupiter will shine high overhead while Mars will rise in the east. A simple way to distinguish a star from a planet is that planets tend to shine steadily while stars twinkle. All these planets align along the ecliptic, an imaginary "clothesline" marking the plane of the solar system.

Mars has a slight red hue, which should help you identify it a little more easily. Jupiter appears as a cream-colored light, shining just 5° from Aldebaran in Ta**us.
