Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) says she hasn't decided whether she will vote for Dr. Neil Jacobs, President Trump's pick to lead NOAA, and that she wants to hear more on how Jacobs will support the agency's science and research missions that help with weather readiness. "It's a minuscule investment to keep some of these science research functions at NOAA to help them better prepare people for hurricanes, for tornadoes and floods," she says.

Machine-Gun Sun! More than 5 storms on their way to Earth and 3 of them offer good chances for aurora views. NOAA and NASA model predictions do not show all the storms yet (it's hard to keep up with the rapid-fire storm launches!) but the first should hit before noon July 3 UTC. Once they hit, expect G2+ level conditions, if the magnetic orientation of the storms are conducive for aurora. The NASA model is a composite showing several sets of storms lasting through July 6 UTC. My 3D solar storm visualizer runs are available for these events. I will post links for them momentarily.

☀️A new era in space weather forecasting is beginning... Last year, we saw an increase in solar storms that lit up the skies with stunning auroras across Europe. However, these events can be disruptive, effecting power, satellites & communications. Space weather needs to be predicted early and accurately to give us the crucial time needed to protect satellites, astronauts and vital infrastructure on Earth. That’s where our Vigil mission comes in. Acting as a dedicated ‘space weather reporter’, Vigil will drastically improve our forecasting abilities with its specialised set of instruments. 🔗

Blink and you'll miss it 🌑☀️ A total solar eclipse swept across North America yesterday, blocking out the Sun for a few moments. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and, for a short period, blocks the face of the Sun, save for a visible ring of light, known as the Sun’s corona. These images by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-16) captured the moon's shadow casted on Earth's surface moving across North America from 16:00 to 23:00 CEST. 🎥 European Space Agency NOAA Satellites

About 41,000 years ago, during the Laschamp Geomagnetic Excursion, Earth's magnetic field weakened drastically, dropping to just 5% of its current strength. This means that Earth’s natural magnetic shield, which normally protects us from harmful space radiation, was almost entirely gone. The magnetic field lines (seen as white or blue strands) became twisted and chaotic, showing how disordered the field became during the excursion. Normally, these lines flow smoothly from pole to pole, but during this event, they bent, broke, and tangled. The Earth turns red in the visualization, indicating an extremely weak magnetic field. The red color means the planet was barely protected from solar and cosmic radiation. This visualization was created by scientists from DTU and GFZ using data from ESA’s Swarm mission. It includes a stereo soundscape and a visual tracing of the magnetic field lines. This event caused abrupt climate change and mass extinction, and the same thing is happening today!

Our consultations across Kosofe have continued to gain real momentum, translating into genuine support and firm endorsements from the people. From the NURTW marwa and okada operators in Agboyi-Ketu and Ikosi-Isheri, to the CAC Ladipo/Olutufese community, the conversations have been direct, honest, and deeply encouraging. These engagements were not just courtesy visits, they were opportunities to connect, listen, and present a clear path forward. What stands out is the shared sentiment across these communities. There is a clear hunger for stronger, more responsive representation, and a belief that the time for that is now. That belief has been backed with full endorsement and unwavering support for this journey. Kosofe is ready and the difference will speak for itself.

It’s #SunDay! Here’s your space weather report for the week of May 15 - 21: • 4 M-class flares • 3 C-class flares • 35 coronal mass ejections • 1 geomagnetic storm This video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows the week’s activity. It was a fairly calm week on the Sun. A coronal mass ejection last week reached Earth on May 15, triggering a minor geomagnetic storm and leading to aurora sightings across the northern U.S. On May 20, SDO's Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) paused normal science operations for a series of routine calibration maneuvers — measurements that keep the instrument's magnetic field and Doppler velocity data scientifically accurate. You can see these maneuvers starting at about 2:29 in the video. Learn more about space weather:

Understanding Tonight’s Solar Storm and What It Means A G5 is the top of the scale, the kind of solar storm powerful enough to light up the skies across half a continent and, in extreme cases, mess with the infrastructure that quietly runs our world. It’s not science fiction; it’s space weather, and it’s happened before. Back in 1989, a storm of this strength knocked out power to six million people in Quebec for nearly a day. Go further back to 1859, the famous Carrington Event and you get telegraph wires bursting into flames and aurora visible in the Caribbean. On that scale, tonight’s storm doesn’t look apocalyptic, but it’s still serious. Right now, the readings have hit what’s considered a G4 to borderline G5 level. That means the Earth’s magnetic field is being hit hard by a burst of solar plasma and what scientists call a coronal mass ejection. Essentially, the Sun hurled a cloud of charged particles at us, and when it collides with our magnetosphere, it compresses it like a drum. Those magnetic fluctuations induce currents that can run through anything long and conductive…power lines, pipelines, satellites, even the ground itself. That’s why space weather alerts always talk about power grids and communication systems. Modern infrastructure is built to handle volatility, but not cosmic scale volatility. Grid operators are already shifting load and monitoring for those geomagnetically induced currents that caused so much trouble in 1989. Satellite operators are doing the same…tweaking orbits, rotating hardware, reducing exposure. The idea is to ride it out rather than resist it. For the rest of us, the biggest impact is aesthetic, aurora could be visible much farther south than usual, maybe as far as the Gulf states if conditions hold. It’s one of those rare nights where a solar event becomes a cultural one. But it’s also a quiet reminder of how thin our technological skin really is. A strong enough storm can reach across space and touch systems that feel untouchable like our grids, GPS, communications, even financial networks. The storm is expected to peak overnight into November 12, and while it likely won’t reach the catastrophic intensity of 1859 or even 1989, it’s strong enough to make the world pause and look up. For a few hours, the same force that powers life on Earth, the Sun itself becomes unpredictable again. Right now it’s a light show. But it’s also a humbling one. Every now and then, the universe reminds us that we’re not in control of as much as we think, we’re just living inside the weather system of a star. 🎥 Here’s actor Dennis Quaid talking about what a worst case scenario could look like if a truly massive solar storm ever hit.

Had the honor of launching the weather balloon for upper air data collection in NOAA Boise NWS Boise. A radiosonde is a battery-powered instrument package attached to a weather balloon that measures atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed as it ascends. Transmitting real-time data via radio to ground stations. The upper air data is crucial for input into weather models and useful for predicting severe damal dumeels. The radiosonde flight can last for more than two hours. During this time, the balloon can ascend to heights exceeding 35 km and drift over 200 km from the launch point. Throughout the journey, the radiosonde experiences extreme atmospheric conditions, including temperatures as low as -92°C and air pressures that are only a fraction of those at Earth’s surface. When the balloon has expanded beyond its elastic limit (20-25 feet in diameter) and bursts, the radiosonde returns to Earth via a small parachute. This slows its descent, minimizing the danger to life and property.

REPORT: Secret Chinese tech has been found inside U.S. solar equipment—and U.S. investigators say it could shut down the entire power grid. For the past nine months, these investigators have uncovered rogue communication devices buried in solar inverters and batteries made in China. These hidden parts were NOT listed in the manuals. But once investigators tore them open, they discovered a secret way to bypass security and take control remotely. If triggered, these backdoors could shut down power systems, damage the grid, and cause BLACKOUTS across the country, officials warned. Rep. August Pfluger said the CCP “stops at nothing” to break into our critical systems. “It’s about time we ramp up our efforts to show China that compromising us will no longer be acceptable,” he added. The threat is so serious, two senators introduced a bill to block these components. But it’s still sitting in committee—going nowhere. Because when the lights go out, it won’t just be your power—your country’s defenses go out with it. And you can understand how scary that is. Watch the full breakdown with .
