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.

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...

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.

This comet impact to the Sun followed immediately afterwards with a huge CME is definitely 100% totally certifiably absolutely undoubtedly a coincidence. Nothing to see here folks! /s October 1-2 2011

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...

The 1.9 X-flare from earlier today is still in-progress, categorizing this as a long-duration event. The Americas were just hit with A TON of light radiation!

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!

A large plasma filament just blasted off from the Earth-facing side of the Sun (Oct. 30th) and it looks like it may partially sweep by the Earth early November.

The Sun is absolutely COOKING right now. 1 X-flare and 10 M-flares in less than 16 hours, and this still looks like preliminary activity to stronger solar flares and big coronal mass ejections as active region 4366 has grown significantly since my last update. BOOMSHAKALAKA!!

Wow we've just had a major sunspot cluster develop over the last 48 hours. Check it out! This is AR4432, soon to be on the western limb and if it explodes there we could be in for a big radiation storm.

A large CME is inbound to swipe Earth from the Sun, >10 MeV proton flux is currently 25x higher than normal (we're nearly in a radiation storm) with 4 astronauts currently well beyond low-earth orbit (think International Space Station), and a comet is flying into the Sun!!

WOW! The new sunspots in the southern hemisphere of the Sun rotating into view are VERY ACTIVE. That's exactly the sort of build-up in activity usually observed before BIG X-Flares. Next two weeks are likely to be very dynamic energetically

The Germans (GFZ Potsdam) are expecting a severe G4 geomagnetic storm from the upcoming solar impact wow! They must really be hoping for some excitement even above and beyond their lovely Christmas markets 😂

347 earthquakes have now struck Brawley, CA right on the San Andreas Fault as part of a sudden earthquake swarm. The range is magnitude 1.0+ to M4.7 - the current strongest event - for which we observe the seismic waveforms via the SCSN below.

Earth's radiation belts are FULLY CHARGED after repeated solar wind and solar storm impacts over the last couple months. Next solar storm to hit will cause this plasma to "precipitate" down towards the planet's surface

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

BOOMKAMCHATKALAKA here we see how the seismic waves from the M8.8 Kamchatka Megaquake quickly propagate out across the northern hemisphere from the epicenter. This earthquake shook the whole world and caused massive ground motion. Nearly identical in characteristics to the November 4th 1962 M9.0 Kamchatka Megaquake that occurred just a couple dozen km's away. WOW!!
