An aurora radio emission from exoplanet "Beta Pictoris b" has been detected by astronomers in South Africa's MeerKAT Radio Telescope Array This planet is a gas giant localized about 64 light years away from Earth. Researchers detected rapid, recurring and highly circularly polarized radio bursts along with persistent background emissions in the 0.85 to 3.5 GHz frequency range. The emissions indicate a local planetary magnetic field strength of at least 1,250 gauss (1.25 kG)—thousands of times stronger than Earth's surface magnetic field and marking the first direct magnetic field measurement for an exoplanet. Individual bursts appeared to repeat in intervals of roughly 8 hours, matching the known rotation period of Beta Pictoris b which has a mass roughly 10 to 12 times that of Jupiter. Radio detections of Beta Pictoris b in four observing sessions and at two frequency bands. https://phys.org/news/2026-09-astronomers-radio-exoplanet.html

Thats incorrect, warmer waters in the Pacific ocean caused by El Super Niño led to a very active season. Atlantic side also had some systems but not that much cause of difficult meteorological conditions for storm development related to that weather extremes. https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2026/10/el-nino-science-experts

Could be the last ones for the season, tropical storm "Vance" forms in the southeast Pacific and sub-tropical storm "Josephine" at northwest Atlantic Vance forecast to rapidly intensify to hurricane going northwest close to Mexico while Josephine will get away from US coast in the next couple of days.

Count me in, would be interesting having that kind of event

Hurricane Hunter Aircraft finds that 'Trudy' is a little stronger, forecast to pass near the coast of west-central Mexico tonight and sunday For now max. sustained of 100mph cat 1

Whats happening to Simon? first a major hurricane that weakens on its path to a little category 1 system on southwest mexican coast but right now NOAA is detecting re-strengthening to a maybe category 2 hurricane that will weaken again before making landfall by 2nd time at Baja California and tropical storm Trudy appearing just south with further strengthening in the next couple of days with a similar path and category to Simon's

Isaias made landfall near Destin, Florida like category 2 hurricane and will affect most of eastern US in the next couple of days as a post-tropical cyclone. Simon as a powerful category 4 hurricane, a monster that will make landfall tomorrow in southwest mexican state of Jalisco Rachel will make landfall at northern mexican state of Baja California and will enter US territory later as tropical storm.

Dont follow him at all just saw the news in my feed that his children are denying him so cause the sad movie But ofcourse this guy is sexist and he could be probably paying his life lesson with that

Watched 'Heart of the Beast' and could say its quite entertaining but nothing spectacular. Brad Pitt doing this film cause of his personal status? could be imo the film is sad depending if you worried about of their dramatical survivance

Getting close to the end of the season and we have seen definitely all the activity in the Pacific side except for 8 tropical storms in the Atlantic side with no hurricanes so far. Since more than thirthy years ago we havent seen hurricanes in the Atlantic side on September, the other 3 times were on: 1994, 1962 and 1972. The 'El Niño' which is actually recently called 'El Super Niño', for its intensity, its directly involved with this weird absence of storms. Now we have hurricane "Rachel" in the Pacific side which has been very strong in the last couple of days but has decrease its strenght and now it stands on category 1 hurricane. It will weaken into tropical storm before it mades its landfall in northern mexican state of Baja California, interests in US states of New Mexico and Arizona would need attention too. Hurricane 'Rachel' path for the next days, it will downgrade to tropical storm tomorrow morning. On the Atlantic Side we have a new system in the Gulf as tropical depression "Nine" that could cause some attention since its forecasted to strengthen quickly in the upcoming days. Eventually it will become the next hurricane in the list as "Isaias", it could make landfall between Mississippi and Alabama by the end of the week. But a lot of other states will be affected with the post-tropical system: Tropical Depression 'Nine' path the next days, forecasted to become hurricane by Thursday 7th of October, 2026.

More activity in the Pacific side with "Nolo", "Odalys" and "Polo" Nolo is upgrading from tropical storm to hurricane by tomorrow and will make a close approach to Hawaii, Odalys will continue in open waters and Polo will be reaching mexican territory by next week, Actually the category 5 hurricane Polo has impacted with some tropical storm conditions in Southwest Mexico this days, Hurricane Hunters reported max. winds up to 150mph. We kinda lucky a high pressure was sitting north Mexico so the hurricane never approached land, still a threat for the northern states of Mexico and maybe Texas later though. Three storms on Pacific side as for now: Nolo, Odalys and Polo. (Image credit by NOAA's satellite imagery) Hurricane "Polo" spinning in southeast Pacific. (Images credit by NOAA's satellite imagery)
