Solar Storm to Trigger Northern Lights in US: Visibility, Timing & Impact
- Thursday March 6, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A solar storm is expected to reach Earth tonight, potentially creating auroras visible as far south as New York and Idaho. The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) of NOAA forecasts a G1-class geomagnetic storm, with a possibility of stronger G2 conditions. This may lead to disruptions in GPS and radio signals. The best time to witness the northe...

Solar Sail Satellites Could Enhance Space Weather Forecasting and Alerts
- Tuesday February 18, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Solar sail satellites, harnessing sunlight for propulsion, are being developed to improve space weather forecasting. NOAA and NASA’s Solar Cruiser project aims to extend geomagnetic storm alert times by 50%, reducing risks to power grids, GPS, and air traffic. The new spacecraft, expected to launch in 2029, will move beyond traditional observatio...

Massive Coronal Hole on Sun Sends High-Speed Solar Wind Toward Earth
- Tuesday February 4, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A giant 800,000 km coronal hole on the Sun is unleashing high-speed solar wind toward Earth, potentially triggering a G1 geomagnetic storm on January 31 and February 1. The NOAA has issued a watch, predicting enhanced auroras in higher latitudes. While G1 storms are minor, they can impact satellites and power grids. The storm’s intensity remains ...

Massive 500,000-Mile Coronal Hole on the Sun Blasts Solar Wind Toward Earth
- Thursday January 30, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
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...

NOAA Confirms a Weak and 'Unusual' La Niña by Spring
- Thursday January 16, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
An unusual La Niña event has been confirmed by NOAA, emerging later than expected in December 2024. This weaker and shorter cycle, part of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), is predicted to persist until April 2025. La Niña typically brings cooler and wetter winters to northern regions while causing warmer, drier conditions in the south. D...

Solar Wind from Sun's Large Coronal Hole Could Create Auroras This Weekend
- Saturday January 4, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A powerful solar wind is expected to hit Earth this weekend, originating from a massive coronal hole in the sun’s atmosphere. This phenomenon could result in dazzling northern lights, particularly in high-latitude regions. NOAA has issued a G1 geomagnetic storm warning for January 4-5, forecasting heightened geomagnetic activity.

A powerful X-class solar flare erupted from sunspot region 3912 on December 8, disrupting high-frequency radio communications in southern Africa. The flare, accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME), ionised Earth’s upper atmosphere, absorbing radio signals and causing blackouts in areas exposed to peak solar activity. Experts predict the CME ...
