May 16, 2024 · During the first full week of May, a barrage of large solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) launched clouds of charged particles and magnetic fields toward Earth, creating the strongest solar storm to reach Earth in two decades — and possibly one of the strongest displays of auroras on record in the past 500 years.
2 days ago · The sun has unleashed an enormous X-class solar flare, temporarily triggering a radio blackout above parts of the U.S. and unleashing a hefty coronal mass ejection (CME) that will likely slam...
A solar storm is a disturbance on the Sun, which can emanate outward across the heliosphere, affecting the entire Solar System, including Earth and its magnetosphere, and is the cause of space weather in the short-term with long-term patterns comprising space climate.
May 10, 2024 · Planet Earth is getting rocked by the biggest solar storm in decades – and the potential effects have those people in charge of power grids, communications systems and satellites on edge.
May 10, 2024 · A geomagnetic storm caused by solar flare activity could trigger numerous effects for life on Earth this weekend, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The magnetometer on GOES-19 satellite is now transmitting data to Earth. The National Weather Service (NWS) Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) has deployed an update to the observed Geostationary Orbiting Environment.
Aug 9, 2011 · Solar flares are giant explosions on the sun that send energy, light and high speed particles into space. These flares are often associated with solar magnetic storms known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
May 10, 2024 · A dramatic blast from the sun set off the highest-level geomagnetic storm in Earth’s atmosphere on Friday that is expected to make the northern lights visible as far south as Florida and Southern...
Mar 30, 2023 · The model uses AI to analyze spacecraft measurements of the solar wind (an unrelenting stream of material from the Sun) and predict where an impending solar storm will strike, anywhere on Earth, with 30 minutes of advance warning.
Mar 4, 2024 · Multiple Spacecraft Tell the Story of One Giant Solar Storm. April 17, 2021, was a day like any other day on the Sun, until a brilliant flash erupted and an enormous cloud of solar material billowed away from our star.
