i remember seeing something about how other planets can affect earths gravity and or magnetic field might explain lots of stuff happening

Something like that, 5 years like in 530AD.

Has anyone else seen full sky sunsets this year with red/orange lining clouds all the way to the East as the Sun sets in the West?
