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...

"He's Nazi": US Meteorologist Fired For Criticising Elon Musk's Hand Gesture
Sam Kuffel, a weather forecaster for CBS 58 Milwaukee, was fired a day after she criticised Elon Musk on social media for his gesture, which many found similar to a 'Nazi salute'.

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...

Study Finds Coronal Loop Flickers Could Predict Solar Flares Hours in Advance
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory has revealed a potential breakthrough in predicting solar flares. Scientists observed brightness fluctuations in coronal loops—plasma structures in the Sun's atmosphere—that intensify hours before solar flares occur. This discovery, with a prediction accuracy of 60–80%, may provide 2–6 hours of advance warn...

PM Modi Urges Scientists To Develop Warning System For Earthquakes
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday urged scientists to develop warning systems for earthquakes while noting that advanced weather forecasts have significantly reduced casualties and minimised economic losses caused by cyclones.

AI Enhances Northern Lights Classification and Geomagnetic Storm Forecasting
A breakthrough in auroral research, powered by artificial intelligence, has allowed scientists to classify over 700 million auroral images. This effort, using NASA's THEMIS dataset, will significantly enhance the prediction of geomagnetic storms, which can disrupt Earth's communication and security systems. Led by the University of New Hampshire, t...

Polar Vortex Could Bring Freezing Temperatures to the US, Be the Coldest in a Decade
A polar vortex is expected to bring extreme cold and heavy snowstorms across the eastern United States. Temperatures could drop as much as 30°F below average, with some regions experiencing sub-freezing conditions as far south as Florida. The cold blast is set to affect areas like the Great Lakes, Northeast, and Appalachians, causing significant s...

Massive Solar Flare Closes 2024 With Radio Blackouts and Auroral Possibilities
An X1.1-class solar flare on December 29, 2024, caused strong radio blackouts on Earth, marking another significant event in the increasingly active Solar Cycle 25. Detected by NOAA's GOES-16 satellite, the eruption raises questions about a potential coronal mass ejection, which could amplify auroras during New Year celebrations. While impactful, t...
