X-Class Solar Flare From Emerging Sunspot Causes Radio Blackouts
An unexpected X1.1-class solar flare erupted from sunspot AR4046, triggering shortwave radio blackouts over North and South America. The flare originated from the sun’s eastern limb and was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection that is not expected to impact Earth. Space weather experts have warned that the sunspot will face Earth in the coming ...

Solar Storm to Trigger Northern Lights in US: Visibility, Timing & Impact
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
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...

NASA’s PUNCH Mission Set to Track the Sun’s Corona and Solar Wind in 3D
NASA’s PUNCH mission, set for launch on Feb 27, will deploy four satellites to study the transition between the sun’s corona and the solar wind. The mission aims to improve understanding of space weather by capturing 3D images, helping predict solar storms with greater accuracy. The data will also complement NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, offerin...

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...

Solar Storm Forecast to Trigger Northern Lights in Upper Midwest
A solar storm from a coronal mass ejection (CME) is set to strike Earth, bringing a minor geomagnetic storm to northern and upper Midwest states between January 24-25. Experts predict visible auroras across areas like Michigan and Maine, sparking excitement among aurora chasers. The storm, rated G1, could peak at Kp 5.33, with auroras expected to b...

Solar Wind from Sun's Large Coronal Hole Could Create Auroras This Weekend
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.

Solar Cycle 25: How the Sun’s Peak Activity Will Impact Earth in 2025
Solar Cycle 25 continues with high activity levels in 2025. Increased solar flares and geomagnetic storms are anticipated, with risks to satellite systems and power grids. Widespread auroras could also light up low-latitude skies. Partial solar eclipses are scheduled for March and September in select regions. Observations indicate strong solar phen...

Severe Bomb Cyclone Threatens West Coast with Intense Rain and Winds
A powerful bomb cyclone is approaching the West Coast, with heavy rain, strong winds, and snow forecasted from November 19 to 21. California and Oregon will experience the worst of the storm, including gusts up to 70 mph, rainfall up to 4 inches, and snow in high elevations. The system is driven by an atmospheric river, which, while helpful for wat...

Solar Maximum Explained: Current Status and Future Expectations in 2024
Solar maximum is the peak of solar activity in an approximately 11-year cycle. Currently, we are experiencing the solar maximum of Solar Cycle 25, which could last until 2026. This phase is characterized by an increase in sunspots and solar flares, impacting Earth through geomagnetic storms that can disrupt satellites, power grids, and communicatio...

NASA Confirms Solar Maximum as Sun Reaches Peak of Its 11-Year Cycle with Heightened Activity
NASA and NOAA report that the Sun has reached its most active phase in the 11-year solar cycle, known as solar maximum. This period increases solar storms, affecting satellites, astronauts, and Earth's communication and power systems. While the exact peak won’t be confirmed for months, solar activity is expected to remain high for the next year.
