The impact of medieval volcanism is illuminated by lunar eclipses
A new study has found that dark lunar eclipses indicate high turbidity of the stratosphere after large volcanic events. Researchers estimated the timing of volcanic eruptions, from year to month to event. They believe volcanic eruptions took place before the dark lunar eclipses based on their effect on the lunar eclipses.

It could be a big disaster if solar geoengineering goes through
A research team has created the first-ever solar geoengineering balloon in a project known as ‘Make Sunsets’. In the balloons, scientists injected sulphur dioxide particles into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight back into space and cool Earth. The team said it’s a “first-of-its-kind” concept that can be used as a pilot for a long-term solution…
