Severe Solar Storm Warning: NOAA Predicts Auroras Across US, Possible Power Grid Impact
NOAA has issued a warning for a severe solar storm expected to hit Earth on October 10-11, 2024. This storm, classified as G4, is caused by a coronal mass ejection from the sun, travelling at nearly 2.9 million miles per hour. It has the potential to disrupt power grids, radio communications, and satellites. Additionally, the storm could enhance au...

A Geomagnetic Storm Has Hit Earth. Here's What It Is And What Causes Them
A geomagnetic storm lit up the night sky in parts of the US during the first weekend in October. South Africas National Space Agency (Sansa) told reporters that the storm had originated from a solar flare "that erupted from sunspot 3842 on October 3

X-Class Solar Flare Erupts on the Sun, Earth-Directed CME Might Have Been Released
A powerful X1.3-class solar flare erupted from the sun on 12 September 2024, potentially boosting aurora visibility across the US this weekend. The flare, which caused a geomagnetic storm rated at G3, also disrupted radio signals in various regions. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center is closely monitoring this solar activity as more flares ar...

Sunspots Surge to 23-Year High as Solar Maximum Intensifies Beyond Predictions
August saw the highest number of sunspots since September 2001, surpassing forecasts and signalling a more intense solar maximum. The Space Weather Prediction Center had initially predicted a weaker solar cycle, but recent data shows sunspot numbers have far exceeded these predictions, indicating a robust peak in solar activity. This trend could le...

Earth Hit By "Intense" Solar Storm, Likely To Trigger More Northern Lights
The new solar storm is caused by coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which are explosions of particles leaving the Sun. When these particles arrive on Earth, they disrupt its magnetic field.

Sun's Magnetic Field May Originate Closer To Solar Surface: Study
The sun's magnetic field, which causes solar storms like the one that hit Earth this month and produced beautiful auroras, may originate at shallower depths in the star's interior than previously thought, according to researchers.

60% Chance Fresh Solar Storm Will Hit Earth This Week, Says US Agency
NOAA said it is a G2-class geomagnetic storm, which is of "Moderate" intensity. These occur about 600 times per solar cycle. They may cause transformer damage at high latitudes, and power systems may experience voltage alarms.
