The sun is at its 11-year maximum. That means another year of eruptions that can endanger satellites, ground flights, and spark stunning auroras.

The sun is currently in its maximum phase, leading to increased solar activity and beautiful auroras, but also potential disruptions to technology on Earth.

What's behind the northern lights that dazzled the sky farther south than normal

Strong solar storms allow for broader visibility of northern lights beyond their usual locations, making it a remarkable year for sightings.

What's behind the northern lights that dazzled the sky farther south than normal

Strong solar storms are currently producing stunning auroras in areas farther south than normal, with potential for similar events again soon.

Northern lights may be visible across Northern California this weekend. Why are they so active right now?

Solar storms can lead to dazzling auroras visible in unexpected areas while potentially disrupting communication systems on Earth.

The Sun's Coronal Magnetic Field In Finally Coming Into Focus Like Never Before

Solar storm research is critical for understanding solar activity's impact on Earth and its technology.

How to See Sunspots with Your Own Eyes

The sun is experiencing heightened solar activity, resulting in more frequent solar storms and prominent sunspots.

How the geomagnetic storm that hit Earth could unleash more hurricanes

Solar storms can potentially impact Earth by increasing tropical cyclone activity due to the sun's increased energy transfer to the planet.

Radio blackouts reported across the world - and more are set to come

Solar storms causing radio blackouts globally, more disruptions predicted.

What's Up With These Crazy Northern Lights?

Solar wind causes visible aurora borealis further south. Solar storms peak every 11 years, impacting space weather and Earth.

How Solar Storms That Bring Northern Lights Can Also Cause Tech Chaos | KQED

Space weather events like solar storms can pose significant risks to national security and critical infrastructure, emphasizing the importance of improved prediction and mitigation efforts.

If you missed the northern lights, solar storms will give you another chance

Solar storms have impacts beyond visual auroras, affecting power grids, satellites, GPS, and radio communications.

Scientist warns more powerful solar eruptions to hit Earth in 2025

Earth survived a strong solar storm last weekend, but experts warn more severe storms may occur until 2025 as the sun approaches its 'solar maximum'.

The Strongest Solar Storm in 20 Years Was Mostly Harmless, but We May Not Be So Lucky Next Time

Preparedness and planning for solar storms can mitigate potential catastrophic impacts on technology and infrastructure.

Northern Lights will be visible from UK more frequently, space forecaster says

The Northern Lights might be visible in the UK soon due to solar storms.

Watch: Space telescope captures solar storm behind epic northern lights

The recent aurora display was triggered by the largest solar storm in over 20 years, with more spectacular displays expected due to the Sun approaching its peak activity cycle.

We Dodged Disaster with This Solar Storm. Here's What to Know for the Next One

Coronal mass ejections from the sun can be visually spectacular, but also have the potential to cause disruptive and damaging effects on Earth.

Aurora borealis watch: How to see the northern lights across 12 states tonight

An incoming coronal mass ejection will impact Earth on January 22 to 23, resulting in the aurora borealis being visible further south than usual.
The northern lights may be visible across several states, including Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, upstate New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Montana, northern Idaho, and Washington State on the evening of January 22.
