Solar wind parameters reflected the arrival of a slow-moving transient at approximately 08:23 UTC on January 11, 2021. At this time, density, temperature, and wind speed increased, sparking vivid auroras around the Arctic circle. The cause of the shock wave might…
High levels of low energetic protons are recorded streaming past Earth causing minor S1 solar radiation storm. Proton event 10MeV Integral Flux exceeded 10 pfu. Minor impacts on HF radio are possible around polar regions.Elevated solar radiation storm levels are
According to a study published in the New Scientist back in 1998, there is a direct connection between the Sun's solar storms and human biological effects. The conduit which facilitates the charged particles from the Sun to human disturbance – is the very same…
The dramatic science behind the Sun’s powerful coronal mass ejections and their interactions with the Earth’s magnetosphere and climate is now can be viewed now in this newly released video from NASA. In this animation, you can watch as the particles from the solar
The recent solar activity did more than spark pretty auroras around the poles. Researchers say the solar storms of March 8th through 10th dumped enough energy in Earth’s upper atmosphere to power every residence in New York City for two years. Although the influx of
To get an idea what does a solar storm sound like, a University of Michigan researcher has created a "sonification" of measurements from two spacecraft during the most recent storm. The researcher who created it is Robert Alexander, a University of Michigan de
A solar radiation storm is in progressaround Earth. At the moment, the storm is classified as minor, which means it has little effect on our planet other than to disturb HF radio transmissions at high latitudes. Bigger effects, however, may be in the offing. The
A bright CME blasted off the sun on Oct. 22nd, and it appears to be heading for Mars. Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab expect the cloud to reach the Red Planet on Oct. 26th (forecast track). A brief discussion of what CMEs can do to Mars follows this SOHO
A significant CME blasted off the sun today, Oct. 22nd, around 1100 UT. Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab say the cloud is heading for Mars, due to hit the Red Planet on Oct. 26th. (movie, forecast track)While looking at the latest STEREO Ahead images,
The moment long feared by conspiracy theorists is nearly upon us: The "doomsday comet" Elenin will make its closest approach to Earth Sunday (Oct. 16). Or what's left of it will, anyway. Comet Elenin started breaking up in August after being blasted by…
