What is happening in this world: natural disasters on the planet of Earth.
The latest news about weather events and disasters.

The Falcon 9 launch vehicle launched 49 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit on Feb. 3.
The launch itself was successful, however, as SpaceX said yesterday, 40 of them can be considered lost. The reason is a geomagnetic storm that began on Earth on the same day. It is caused by a medium-strength flare that occurred on the Sun at the end of January and lasted more than four hours. The flare was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection directed towards the Earth.
According to Elon Musk's company, satellites should burn up in the atmosphere. They do not pose any danger to other devices. There is also no talk of the formation of new space debris.
