Space weather has more implications than causing glitches in Earth's satellite-based communications -- it can also strand gray whales, according to a new study. Typically, space weather is created when solar storms occur on the sun and stream out toward Earth. The high-energy particles can disrupt our communications and Earth's magnetic field.
But they may also be interfering with whale navigation. Gray whales have one of the longest migrations among mammals, traveling between 10,000 and 12,000 miles each year. They complete a round trip between Mexico's warm waters for mating and the Arctic for feeding. They migrate near the shore throughout their lengthy journey, which makes tracking them -- and their stranding events -- a little easier.
