Space weather website SolarHam reported that an "interplanetary shockwave" was detected Saturday morning as a coronal mass ejection (CME) struck Earth's geomagnetic field.
Tomorrow NASA finally shows their HiRise, triple current best resolution images. In ~4 days a CME (sun coronal mass ejection) is expected to slam into a now very active 3I/Atlas -- potential for spectacular tail disconnection event or brightening.
"We're at solar maximum; to find time to make some of these big changes is going to require time and more resources, so we have to address what it will take."
On Thursday, the Sun unleashed a colossal solar flare, emitting high-energy radiation that NASA successfully captured, marking what NOAA Space Weather has identified as "likely one of the largest" events of its kind ever documented.
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory released a photo showing a massive coronal hole forming in the sun's atmosphere, ejecting a stream of fast-moving solar winds toward Earth.
As reported by the New York Post, new research reveals a growing anti-app trend among 20-somethings, who say they prefer to take control of their lives.
People across the world may be able to see the Aurora, a light show that is often seen in high latitude areas, this is expected to be seen further towards the equator during the storm
As we move further into 2020, solar activity dwindles. This year, solar activity will be marked as the lowest in over 200 years. The low in the sun's 11-year cycle will also have at least some repercussions for the climate here on Earth.
Earth's magnetic field is getting significantly weaker, the magnetic north pole is shifting at an accelerating pace, and scientists readily admit that a sudden pole shift could potentially cause "trillions of dollars" in damage.
Right now, the sun is a cueball, as seen below in this image today from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and has been without sunspots for 10 days. So far in 2018, 61% of days have been without sunspots.
and underground conduit pipes. Solar flares may negatively impact the planet's power grids, railway systems, and underground pipelines through a phenomenon called geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), a recent study found
