Strong overflow has begun at Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii, indicating the eruptive episode 50 will begin shortly (perhaps this is the start right here). Follow the livestream to watch it live, the fountaining is expected to last about 9 hours!

Here it comes... A reoccurring negative polarity coronal hole structure is soon to go geoeffective and hit Earth with its high-speed-stream. This follows after a sequence of M-flares have charged up the ionosphere, and a minor CME impact has just come in. Yeehaw!

131A imagery of the Sun showing the C-class solar flaring that's been active the last ~2 days now. It's looking very likely we'll see M-flares and potentially X-flares in the days ahead.

WE HAVE IMPACT. The EMP from the solar storm shockwave spiked the interplanetary magnetic field to Bt 87 nT and Bz -32 nT which is INSANE. We're simultaneously in severe G4 geomagnetic and S4 radiation storms. Now the interplanetary magnetic field is at Bt ~35 nT and Bz -23 nT.

Here is an animation depicting the seismic waves from today's historic M6.1 in America's Gulf sweeping out across the globe. Though almost an identical reverse thrust like the M7.8 that struck the Philippines a day before, this earthquake was ~355x weaker in total energy release

Check out the INSANE growth on 4366 that's happened since just yesterday! It just keeps getting bigger while staying compact because new magnetic flux keeps pushing through the intermediate regions. The risk of a modern Carrington Event is incredibly high right now...

A series of reoccurring coronal holes are starting their rotation through Earth-center, and the trans-equatorial coronal hole will be geoeffective in ~5 days. Earth was in the high-speed solar wind from this coronal hole after a G2 geomagnetic storm for the M7.8 Philippines EQ.

Today (02/02/26 UTC) we had one of the strongest solar flares of the 21st century, a combined 8.1, 1.5, and 2.8 x-class solar flare sequence that is still ongoing at m-class levels. FLASHING LIGHT WARNING FOR SENSITIVE VIEWERS.

FIREBALL OVER WASHINGTON STATE MARCH 28th! This marks the 11th fireball event with 100+ observer reports across the USA in the month of March. Many other fireballs have flown in this month as well that have been also similar in brightness, duration, etc but were at really odd hours so weren't seen by too many people. Most of these fireballs are coming from the anti-solar direction and could be debris traveling in advance of other larger fragments or even a BIG ONE. The currently anti-solar direction is exactly towards the trajectory path of Interstellar #3IATLAS during its perihelion in Oct/November exactly along the ecliptic plane in-between the orbits of Earth and Mars.

Earth was hit by multiple CMEs triggering a G3- geomagnetic storm last night, and we're now being buffeted by fast solar wind. More Earth-directed solar storms are racing towards Earth and are expected to impact in <12 hours now. I expect G3-G4 geomagnetic conditions, get ready!

In the last 38 hours we've had 1.7 and 1.1 X-flares from the Sun, earthquake activity off the coast of Japan (M6.8, M6.4, M6.0) has becoming worrying and looking like foreshock activity for a BIG earthquake (M8+), and we're now in a S1 radiation storm from the 2nd X-flare. Multiple solar storm impacts are expected over the next few days. Big linear planetary alignment occurs on the 20th with the Sun, Mercury, Moon, Earth, and Uranus with Pluto and Saturn+Neptune in harmonic aspects. Yikes...

Is this 3I/ATLAS?! I created a time-lapse using 9 minutes of images captured by Mars Perseverance on October 2nd, and we clearly observe something traveling very fast across the night sky against the normal motion of travel (due to Mar's rotation). Remember that #3IATLAS is moving incredibly quick at ~60 km/s, faster than nearly all objects in the Solar System. Credit to Drew Doss for first spotting this!

If we get a big earthquake to strike Baja, then we can look north and perhaps expect a large earthquake to strike in California soon afterwards. This is exactly what happened in 1906 in April with a M7.3 on April 10th followed by San Francisco's Great M7.9 Earthquake in 1906 💥

Interesting how the earthquake swarm started in the southern Philippines from the M7.8 earthquake stopped (no >M5.0 EQs last 24 hours) just as Kamchatka activated with M6.0 and M6.6 earthquakes plus numerous aftershocks. Both the Philippines and Kamchatka are about equidistant from Japan.

A third giant radio flare from microquasar Cygnus X-3 has just been detected, making this recent activity quite extraordinary. The three main pulses of flaring activity were in January, April, and now June. - Coincidently these are the three main months of Earth- facing solar flare activity we've had thus far in 2026

We have impact! This could be the CME from the 8.1 X-Flare, but it appears more likely to be a stealthy CME based off it's low velocity of ~450 km/s. The solar wind magnetic field (Bt) is 20 nT with a negative Bz polarity, meaning the conditions are good for G2-G3 activity (if sustained)!

3I/ATLAS SPOTTED ON SOLAR CORONAGRAPH! First spotted by amateur astronomer Worachate Boonplod (see top comment), I then analyzed the last 7 days of CCOR-1 footage and 3I/ATLAS is clearly observed (circled in red) at the edges of the coronagraph where the brightness of the solar wind is minimal. Close examination shows this object moving in a retrograde direction faster than the background stars and along the expected vector as 3I/ATLAS based on prior astronomical measurements. In prior videos I mentioned that it was a possibility that 3I/ATLAS would be visible on coronagraphs, but I didn't peg it at a high likelihood due to it's apparent magnitude being ~10. Very cool to see our interstellar visitor still on course and behaving "normally", though the Sun is certainly in frenzy blasting 3I/ATLAS with BIG coronal mass ejections! #3IATLAS #astronomy #spaceweather
