Two months after the dreaded solar storm struck Earth and shocked scientists, a solution seems at hand. Folks at Aberystwyth University have done some rocket science and say they can do solar storm prediction even before it has left the Sun. Can solar storm prediction become so accurate that researchers know the exact time …

In late-April 2023, Earth experienced a powerful geomagnetic storm that illuminated the skies with mesmerizing auroras, even in lower latitudes like Ladakh in India. Mostly, these auroras are restricted to the North Pole and northern regions of the world, but this geomagnetic storm was so powerful that it generated auroras that could be seen as …
A striking set of gigantic sunspots, first spotted from Mars and now designated AR3576, is currently facing Earth, capturing the attention of astronomers, space enthusiasts, and concerned space weather forecasters. Hurricanes and Climate | Extreme Earth The cluster, nicknamed the “Martian sunspots,” was first discovered by NASA’s Perseverance rover using its MastCam in the final …
An unstable sunspot erupted on Tuesday, sending out a solar flare and a hot plume of plasma that blazed through the Sun’s atmosphere at speeds faster than 400 kilometres per second. The extreme ultraviolet radiation from the flare caused a shortwave radio blackout over Australia. The explosion also released a coronal mass ejection or CME, …
News Technology Science A ‘cannibal’ solar explosion could cause strong auroras tomorrow A “cannibal coronal mass ejection” could hit our planet on Friday, triggering auroras, even in places that usually do not get to see them.
