Geomagnetic storming reached the G2 (Moderate) level at high latitudes again early today. Bright auroras could be seen around Arctic Circle. It was sparked by one of two coronal mass ejections observed on September 2. Solar radiation storm levels have returned to
Leslie strengthens into the sixth hurricane of the Atlantic season and it’s aiming Bermuda as it moves northward. Leslie is a large tropical cyclone that is forecast to grow in size over the next several days. The wind field of the cyclone, combined with its expected
35 years ago, on September 5, 1977, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard a Titan-Centaur rocket. Voyager 2 probe was launched on August 20, 1977. Voyager 1 crossed the termination shock in December 2004 at about 94 AU from the
Monitoring the subtle change in Earth’s gravity and its effects may reveale some details about movements of magma deep inside volcano. After monitoring the gravity at one of the world’s most active volcanoes – Kīlauea volcano on Hawaii, scientists discovered a
NOAA/SWPC reported that the G1 (minor) Geomagnetic Storm has ended with the return of normal solar wind conditions. Currently solar winds blow at speed of 419.1 km/sec. Earthbound proton levels are now below the S1 Minor Radiation Storm threshold and geomagnetic
Watch a five 5-minute video summary presented at the 2012 UNAVCO science workshop “Bad assumptions or bad luck: Tohoku’s embarrassing lessons for earthquake hazard mapping”.Scientists previously thought the faults off the northeast coast of Japan weren’t capable of
Severe storms swept across northeast Algeria this weekend. There was widespread damage as violent storms swept across the northeast of the country, killing 20 people and injuring 56. The worst conditions appeared in regions of Tebessa, Tlemcen and M’sila. Torrential
Several plumes of dust can be seen blowing off the coast of the African continent, over bodies of water, towards the Arabian Peninsula. The largest dust plume can be observed in the upper left quadrant, blowing northeastward over the Red Sea, off the coast of Sudan,
Solar filament eruption on August 31 generated at least two potentially Earth directed CME clouds. Earth was hit by first CME shock, observed in the solar wind around 11:20 UTC. The impact induced significant ground currents in northern Scandinavia and
The Coronal Mass Ejection was caused by the large filament eruption late on August 31st. Minor to Moderate Geomagnetic Storming will be possible at high latitudes, especially on September 3rd. Solar Radiation Storm levels have increased above the S1 (Minor)
