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. [ more ]
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. [ more ]
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. [ more ]

Earth will be bombarded by intense solar storms next YEAR
A new study reveals that the next solar maximum is expected to occur in early 2024, earlier than previously predicted.
Solar storms caused by the solar maximum can potentially damage satellites and disrupt the internet.
The intensity and consequences of solar storms cannot be predicted this early, but they can lead to catastrophic orbital decay and disruption of satellite-based services. [ more ]
