Massive 500,000-Mile Coronal Hole on the Sun Blasts Solar Wind Toward Earth
A gigantic coronal hole, spanning 500,000 miles, has formed on the sun’s surface, allowing solar wind to escape at speeds of over 310 miles per second. Forecasts indicate that this solar wind may reach Earth by January 31, triggering a minor (G1) geomagnetic storm. While no severe impact is expected, the storm could enhance auroras at higher lati...

NASA's Dual Rocket Launch to Uncover Mysteries of Alaska's Auroras
NASA is set to launch two rockets from the Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska, aiming to study the aurora borealis. The missions will focus on flickering auroras and the mysterious dark patches known as "black auroras." Led by Marilia Samara and Robert Michell, the rockets will collect data on auroral behaviour and electron movement. Precision tim...
