G1 (Minor) Geomagnetic Storm conditions are now occurring due to the arrival of the CME from May 15, 2013. During G1 Geomagnetic Storm, weak power grid fluctuations can occur, minor impact on satellite operations is possible, aurora is commonly
Heliophysics scientists study energy transformation from one event to the other and which electromagnetic waves create which conditions near Earth. Space weather effects can disrupt satellites in space, so scientists need to understand the system in even more detail.
Time-lapse movie of the corona aurora that appeared over UAF ski trail, Fairbanks, Alaska after strong CME hit Earth’s magnetic field. Red aurora was also captured. (1:54 – 2:32am AKST, March 17, 2013) Corona aurora is a shape of aurora in which rays
A coronal mass ejection (CME) that erupted on March 15, 2013, hit Earth's magnetic field at 06:00 UTC on March 17, 2013. The solar wind speed reached 700 km/s and sparked a moderately strong G2 (Kp=6) geomagnetic storm and minor S1 solar radiation
The following video is a time-lapse movie of the aurora displays over Large Animal Research Station (LARS), University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) from February 13, 2013 captured by Taro Nakai, a researcher of micrometeorology (dynamics of the interaction between plant
This amazing timelapse by talented Zoltan Kenwell – InFocus Imagery – was captured in the morning of November 24, 2012, about 30 km east of Bashaw, Alberta, Canada.
"The forecast was looking very promising for a fantastic display. A more or
Sunspot 1577 generated a long duration C3.7 solar flare which hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME) almost directly toward Earth on September 28. Proton levels reached the S1 Minor Radiation Storm level soon after the event. The proton event linked to the C3.7 flare
“Astronomy picture of the day” featured amazing video of wonderful aurora display over Ravnastua, Skoganvarre and Lakselv in Norway, captured by Christian Mülhauser.Aurora 2012 from Christian Mülhauser on Vimeo.Auroras are occurring again with increasing
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)
On July 14, 2013, the Sun unleashed a major X1.4 solar flare which was accompanied with a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection). InFocusImagery brings us this amazing time-lapse video.
