Yesterday’s moderately-sized (M8-class) #SolarFlare produced a massive eruption (a... coronal mass ejection), currently en route to Earth. Forecasters have issued a ‘severe’ geomagnetic storm watch (G4 on G1-5 scale). Expect to see misinformation about this, so here are some facts:show more

A SOLAR TSUNAMI: We are expecting wave after wave... of coronal mass ejections to striking the Earth on 11th and 12th May. Solar wind speeds of about 800 km/s are possible. Strong and extended geomagnetic storms likely with aurora visible at lower-than-normal latitudes. Stay tuned.show more

👀 You may see the northern lights this evening... and overnight due to a Coronal Mass Ejection Despite it's imminent arrival there's considerable uncertainty and it may only glance Earth. If it arrives, aurora could be spotted as far south as northern England if skies are clear.show more

BREAKING – A significant Earth-directed solar flare and associated... coronal mass ejection (CME) just occurred on Friday evening. There is an increasing chance of geomagnetic storms and the potential for a display of the aurora borealis (northern lights) sometime Sunday night into Monday. A "solar flare" is a flash of light and radiation flickering into space. They emanate from sunspots – bruise-like discolorations on the surface of the sun that throb and pulsate with energy. That just occurred associated with sunspot #4100. The flare was a magnitude M8.2; M is one step below X, the highest category. An M8.2 is very close to X-class status. It was followed by a "full halo CME", or coronal mass ejection. That's an explosion of magnetism and solar material that surfs a shockwave through space. We call it a "full halo" because – when it's pointed directly at Earth – it looks like a halo. When CMEs, or coronal mass ejections, arrive at Earth, the electromagnetic energy is absorbed and dissipated by Earth's magnetic field. That energy is transformed into visible light – the aurora. I'll have updates once more information becomes available.show more

🚨 🇺🇸 G4 GEOMAGNETIC STORM TARGETS 11 STATES: NORTHERN... LIGHTS MEET POWER GRID CHAOS A severe geomagnetic storm is about to slam the northern U.S. this week. NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center just issued G4 warnings for everything north of the 45th parallel: Oregon, Idaho, Montana, the Midwest, and Northeast. Translation: voltage control problems, satellites degrading, GPS errors, and protective systems misfiring across critical infrastructure. The aurora borealis might be visible as far south as Alabama. Beautiful. Terrifying. Space Weather Prediction Center: "Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems may mistakenly trip out key assets from the power grid." Energy demand's at decade-high levels. AI data centers are gorging power. Now the sun decides to throw a tantrum. Source: NOAA / NewsWeek Media: Stefan Burnsshow more

We may have some #aurora fun coming! More than... 4 solar storms have been launched in the past few days from Region 4334. Some of them are headed to Earth! Along with the fast solar wind picking up by January 9, we could see a bumpy ride with storm conditions peaking January 11. G1 conditions expected thus far, but another storm just launched so forecasts may be changing rapidly! The first video highlights storms launched since January 6. The second video shows a closeup of Storms 3 and 4, which launched today in the Earth-Strike Zone. More analysis is coming.show more

Here is a 3D visualization of the coming solar... storm using model parameters from NASA's run, NOAA's run (shown below), and the coronagraph views from STEREO-A/COR2 and SOHO/LASCO. The storm is expected to hit Earth early December 9. The 3D visualization clearly shows the low inclination orientation of the solar slinky core inside the larger storm envelope. Of course, the earlier eruption that erupted to the northeast, might deflect this structure a little bit, but likely that will only make the structure move more towards the ecliptic plane, which will give us a larger chance of crossing through the solar slinky core. One nice thing about low inclination flux rope cores is that they almost ALWAYS have southward field in them at some point. So this is good news for aurora photographers-- as long as this solar storm stays true to its launch trajectory and inclination, we could see some organized southward pointed magnetic field. Considering this solar storm is fast-- that usually indicates the storm will not deviate much from its original launch trajectory! Here is the link to a static frame of the 3D frame visualization so you can fly around it yourself:show more

So.. last night was tough on the farm... Hail... hit us right through the heart of the farm.... Thousands of acres look like this. Some be some worse... What does a guy do here.. try to "feed it" to get em back going or waste of time/$??? Have never experienced this before on a large scale ...show more

TFF!!!! We are having a blast this year here!... Thank you to everyone who has come and seen us so far. Don't forget to go see BigZ! We are doing a soft launch on some DIY tail kits at their table!show more

thought i'd relax on my day off from work,... been pretty stressed out lately with so many things, it's good to not have to think about mbt or yugioh for a while i wanted to watch a video about deltarune cause new chapters coming out soon, this one seems goo- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HEREshow more

*SEVERE geomagnetic storm possible with U.S. aurora borealis display*... *Northern lights possible at mid-latitudes early Sunday morning or Sunday night* *Specifics TBD – map coming later today* On Friday evening Eastern time, a major solar flare occurred from sunspot #4100. A sunspot is a bruise-like discoloration on the sun that throbs and pulsates with energy. Following the solar flare, which is a flash of light and radiation, a significant CME — or coronal mass ejection — was hurled directly toward Earth. Imagine a shockwave of magnetism and high-energy particles rippling through space like an interstellar tsunami. It’s heading for us at speeds around 1,200 miles per second — that’s very fast! We know it’s Earth-directed because our sensors indicate a “full halo” CME. See the solar material appearing to fan out in all directions? That’s an indicator it’s Earth-bound. It’s like if a train is coming right at you — you’d only see the train getting bigger. Once this electromagnetic shockwave reaches Earth, the energy will be absorbed and dissipated by our magnetic field. It will be transformed into visible light — the aurora. Since there’s a LOT of energy, we’ll probably get the aurora borealis (the northern lights) down to the mid latitudes. This could mean parts of the central United States, the Midwest, the Mid-Atlantic and perhaps as far south as northern California. There’s even a chance that parts of the Mid-South could see the aurora IF a direct impact occurs and the orientation of Earth’s magnetic field cooperates. Scientists at the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado are working to iron that out.show more

Sheen is what Pleiadians call 5D Earth What's about... to happen to us is so much bigger than what people can understand, including sources teaching it. Humans alive now will soon portal to a higher frequency version of Earth that's been prepared for us, and be changed in a blink. This is a plan by Pleiadians, who are the biblical angels, to allow those who are ready to become 5D galactic citizens. Death and sickness will be over. We'll have telepathy and flight. We'll have technology so advanced there will be no needs ever again. There are no saviors. This isn't a rescue mission. This is about our choices. Most regular people will be taken and only evil people will be left behind. See you there.show more

Our Sun rapid-fire launched multiple #solarstorms today, but they... were so close together in time that they look as if they are one structure in coronagraphs. Here is a thread 🧵that discusses the event in detail. The first animation shows the past 48 hours on the Earth-facing Sun. Late on July 22, you can see a slight "puff" just to the east of Region 4150. This launches the first solar storm, destabilizes the area between Region 4149 and 4150, and sets the whole chain of events in motion. Next, early on July 23, the filament near center disk launches slowly. This is the main Earth-directed eruption, which was already unstable, but the first eruption pushed the filament past the tipping point. Then finally, by mid-afternoon on July 23, Region 4149 finally lets go of the remaining material connected to the filament. It is a three-part process that is deceptively complex.show more

The volatility - yes, volatility - in AR 4366... is absolutely unbelievable. I don't think I have ever used the word 'volatility' to describe an active region. The X-ray flux has been mostly above the M-class threshold for *35 hours* now. There have been 25+ M-class and 4 X-class flares. It is unfortunate that most of these flares are impulsive, else we'd have a train of CMEs en route and likely impacting by now. Even so, the show is incredible, one of the highlights of Solar Cycle 25 - we will be talking about this for a long time!show more
