• Series of coronal holes spark G1 – Minor geomagnetic storming

    Our planet is under the influence of a series of coronal holes since August 25, 2020, sparking unsettled to G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm conditions. The effect is expected to continue through at least September 2. G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm threshold was first…

  • Solar storm hits Earth, sparking active geomagnetic conditions

    Our Sun launched two solar storms this week, one of which was Earth-directed, Space Weather Physicist Dr. Tamitha Skov reports in her latest space weather forecast released July 14, 2020. The storm has hit, right on time, and all through the night people have been…

  • G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm in progress

    A negative polarity, southern crown coronal hole extension has moved into a geoeffective position enhancing the solar wind environment. Unsettled levels are expected on April 21 as high speed stream (HSS) effects persist. By late April 22 (UTC), a positive polarity…

  • Geomagnetic effects on Earth’s biology – Electricity of Life

    Scientific research into the Sun's effects on life on Earth has yielded results that may surprise you. Over a century ago, the Soviet-era scientist Alexander Chizhevsky conducted exhaustive studies demonstrating an apparent correlation between solar activity and…

  • Negative polarity CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storming

    An isolated, negative polarity Coronal Hole High Speed Stream (CH HSS) is affecting our planet on February 27 and 28, 2019, causing isolated periods of geomagnetic storming. Solar winds over the past 24 hours were indicative of an anticipated Solar Sector Boundary…

  • CH HSS sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

    Our planet is under the influence of a positive polarity Coronal Hole High Speed Stream (CH HSS) over the past 24 hours. Geomagnetic storms reaching G2 – Moderate levels were registered November 5. Solar wind parameters reflected the passage of a Solar Sector…

  • Positive polarity CH HSS sparks G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm

    A weak positive polarity Coronal Hole High Speed Stream (CH HSS) affecting our planet since late June 17, 2018, sparked a G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm at 02:56 UTC on June 18. Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft located at the L1 point, were…

  • Negative polarity CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storming

    A negative polarity Coronal Hole High Speed Stream (CH HSS) is affecting our planet today, sparking G1 – Minor geomagnetic storming. G1 threshold was reached at 13:29 UTC on June 1, 2018. Solar wind parameters became enhanced over the past 24 hours due to the effect…

  • G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm conditions observed

    G2 – Moderate geomagnetic conditions were observed on May 6, 2018 in response to the influence of a negative polarity coronal hole high speed solar wind stream. G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm conditions were first observed at 17:59 UTC on May 5, followed by G2 at…
