The Sun exploded off another powerful solar flare (6.5 M-class) today October 10th 2026. This struck right when a much stronger than expected (by most) solar storm hit Earth, and as I'm writing this we're now in a G3 strong geomagnetic storm, with the potential for G4 severe levels...

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!

NOAA's space weather model for the huge solar storm launched towards Earth forecasts peak impact tonight at 11pm EST (01:00 UTC 01/20), reaching G4 geomagnetic storm levels. We're already in a strong S3 radiation storm. This CME will combine with a CIR, strengthening the impact

The X1.2 flare produced an impressive full-halo CME, with the bulk directed NW and a notable Earth-directed component. Combined with the previous CME, this event could drive strong geomagnetic activity, strong G3–G4 storm potential.

A solar storm impact has arrived as expected, and now geomagnetic activity is increasing! The storm is dense (~13 /cm3), slow (~420 km/s), and double the strength (~11 nT) of the normal solar wind. Unless it dramatically strengthens we're probably looking at G1 levels at most.

.NOAA’s #GOESWest (#GOES18) 🛰️ captured a solar flare occurring from the sun today using its Solar Ultraviolet Imager (#SUVI). The flare was identified as M-Class—the second most powerful in the classification system—and is generally most visible in the instrument's 131-Angstrom band shown here.

Yesterday’s near X-class #SolarFlare (M9.75-class) produced a clear CME and solar radiation storm (causing the fuzzy noise shown in the data). The CME is expected to arrive Monday, with a G2 geomagnetic storm currently predicted. #spaceweather #astronomy

Aurora borealis was seen around the world last night — all because of an extremely powerful solar flare On Sunday, the first major solar flare of the year occurred — an X1.95-class event. A cloud of charged particles reached Earth in less than 24 hours. On the night of January 19–20, the aurora was observed in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Western Europe, and North America. An extremely strong geomagnetic storm hit the planet. Geomagnetic activity nearly reached the maximum G5 level. Disruptions have been reported worldwide. Radio signals, satellite navigation, and other systems dependent on a stable magnetic field have been affected.

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...

NEW: A solar storm was launched from the Sun yesterday and is on the way to Earth. NOAA has issued a Moderate Geomagnetic Storm Watch for Friday, October 9 due to anticipated arrival. Community consensus on the arrival of this CME is around the first half of the UTC day on Friday, but our in-house model has the storm arriving near Earth a bit later, closer to 15 UTC. Expected Kp range between 4 and 6. #spaceweather

A whole train of big #solarstorms are on their way, along with some smaller storms hitting now, and some fast solar wind! It is an #aurora photographers dream starting now and lasting at least through the weekend. Right now, the biggest of the storms should hit late Thursday or early Friday morning and is well-represented in NOAA's prediction model. You can also get a 3D view of the coming solar storm in my earlier post. G3 to G4 storm levels are possible by Friday.

We could have a geomagnetic storm today 💥 Earth is being hit by fast solar wind at ~650 km/s with a density <1 p/cm^3. The magnetic field is 10 nT (2x stronger than normal), and the field just flipped into good connection with Earth's (Bz -5 nT).

Rare red auroras lit up the night sky over Hanle, Ladakh, after the most intense solar storm in over two decades hit Earth. This stunning celestial show is caused by charged solar particles interacting with our atmosphere, a beautiful yet sobering reminder of solar volatility.

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!!

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.

🚨 THE SUN JUST PUNCHED EARTH IN THE MAGNETIC FACE - AND WE LOVED IT On November 11, the Sun fired off an X5.1 solar flare - the biggest of 2025 - and hurled a plasma freight train at Earth at 600+ km/s. Twenty-four hours later, it slammed into our magnetosphere like a cosmic battering ram. NASA’s model shows it perfectly: Earth, a tiny blue marble at the center… Red zones whipping past like solar shrapnel… Magnetic field lines bending, twisting, screaming under the impact. This is what a geomagnetic storm looks like when the universe decides to remind you who’s in charge. The fallout? Satellites jitter. GPS drifts. HF comms get scrambled. And the sky throws a rave - auroras blooming far south of where they have any business being. With the Sun climbing toward peak activity, this won’t be the last hit. Expect more storms, more skyfire, and at least one “Why is the aurora over Chicago?” moment before 2026 is done. Source: Black Hole

🌞🤩😱It's coming! Holy Moly! An X1.8 flare from AR3848, then a blast of sun stuff (a CME), and they created a shock driving particles (snow on images) to near the speed of light. The source was near the Earth-facing solar disk's center. So this stuff is headed our way—and it's fast 🤔🧐What does this mean? A significant impact on Earth and a forecasted severe geomagnetic storm (G5 out of 5) 🫣😱😎Aurora could be seen in the southern US. WOW!! When is the impact? Between 1-5 am EDT Thurs, get ready!
