The gigantic coronal hole is blasting high-speed solar wind toward Earth, potentially igniting vibrant auroras and minor geomagnetic activity on Jan. 31.
The effects of a coronal mass ejection—a bubble of plasma that bursts from the sun’s surface—will likely impact Earth’s magnetic field on Saturday, bringing the northern lights to several northern U.S.
The agency expects a minor or greater geomagnetic storm—a disturbance of Earth’s magnetic field—on Saturday, which increases the likelihood of northern lights displays being visible to more people, as the effects of a recent coronal mass ejection reach Earth, according to NOAA’s three-day forecast.
Solar material is gusting out of the dark patch in the Sun's corona towards Earth at more than a million miles per hour.
Aurora chasers are on high alert for minor geomagnetic storm conditions from Jan. 24 through to Jan. 25. Northern lights might be visible over some northern and upper Midwest states.
The aurora borealis is back and is expected to be visible in more than 10 states. See which states will have the best views.
A solar explosion called a coronal mass ejection is poised to graze Earth on Friday or Saturday (Jan. 24 or Jan. 25), potentially triggering colorful auroras over the northern U.S.
NASA warns of solar storms disrupting global tech, power grids, and satellites, urging upgrades, collaboration, and preparedness to protect a tech-dependent world.
Sky gazers in several U.S. states could get a colorful glimpse of the northern lights as we enter the weekend, thanks to a recent geomagnetic storm.
Check the app for clear skies! A pair of solar storm may spark displays of the Aurora Borealis across Canada tonight and possibly again on Saturday night!
A coronal mass ejection earlier this week may pull the northern lights to more northern U.S. states, forecasters said.
Skywatchers are set to be dazzled by the northern lights over the coming hours, as a geomagnetic storm builds.
