The 500,000-mile wide hole has cracked open the sun's atmosphere, leaving a gap over 62 times the diameter of Earth from which high-speed solar winds are now shooting towards us
Researchers have created an improved traffic light system for predicting geomagnetic storms. They are now testing how well these algorithms can prepare us for incoming space storms that can wreak havoc by knocking out satellites in space and power grids on Earth.
NASA warns of solar storms disrupting global tech, power grids, and satellites, urging upgrades, collaboration, and preparedness to protect a tech-dependent world.
Solar storms pose a rising threat to power grids, satellites, and communications. Experts call for urgent preventive measures.
Aurora chasers are on high alert as a minor geomagnetic storm is expected to hit Earth soon, potentially triggering spectacular northern lights displays in the northern hemisphere.
The Colaba Research Centre of the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG) was inaugurated by Professor Abhay Karandikar, Secretary of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), marking the beginning of a new chapter in India’s geomagnetic research.
A coronal mass ejection earlier this week may pull the northern lights to more northern U.S. states, forecasters said.
The gigantic coronal hole is blasting high-speed solar wind toward Earth, potentially igniting vibrant auroras and minor geomagnetic activity on Jan. 31.
Solar material is gusting out of the dark patch in the Sun's corona towards Earth at more than a million miles per hour.
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.
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.
