The article explores earthquake prediction research by Kosuke Heki, which predicts that the early warnings of an earthquake may appear 180 miles above the ground. Additional topics noted include how tens of thousands of people can be killed by a single earthquake, how this new research suggests that clumps of electrons for in the ionosphere before an earthquake, and insights on earthquakes of the past including the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
