- VIDEO: Watch Starlink Satellites Fall from the Sky Thu, 10 Feb 22, 6:18amVideo follows below. As many as 40 Starlink satellites are currently falling out of the sky–the surprising result of a minor geomagnetic storm. SpaceX made the announcement yesterday: “On Thursday, Feb....
- The greatest geomagnetic storm of the 20th Century…May 13-15, 1921…a century ago, New York City/New York State were especially hard hit Fri, 14 May 21, 11:00amOne thing is certain, we should be prepared for another massive solar storm of the magnitude of the “Carrington Event of 1859” or the great geomagnetic storm of May 1921 – the most powerful solar storm of the 20th century.
- “firecracker” sunspot turning towards earth – possible large solar flares Wed, 9 May 12, 5:02amSunspot AR1476 may have some surprises for us in the coming days, and I hope it isn’t a Carrington type event. It has already launched two CME’s yesterday. From NASA’s Spaceweather.com: A pair of solar...
- Potential for large solar flares and CME’s may be with us again soon Fri, 30 Mar 12, 5:17amReaders may recall my reports on the CME’s from massive sunspot group 1429, seen below. It seems the sunspot group continues to live, and has unleashed another massive Coronal Mass Ejection. It will rotate into Earth...
- Solar storm continues, geomagnetic storm and auroras expected Thu, 8 Mar 12, 2:28pmWe have about three hours to go for the expected arrival time of the CME at 0625 UTC/1025 PST. Proton flux remains high as do other indicators. Additionally another C class solar flare just occured. This bulletin just in...
- NOAA: Strong Solar Eruption; Earth-Directed CME Likely Wed, 7 Mar 12, 1:40pmAn X-5 class solar flare just occurred from region 1429, the large active sunspot group seen below. NOAA Bulletin from the Space Weather Prediction Center: 2012-03-07 01:03 Strong Solar Eruption; Earth-Directed CME Likely...
- Homeland Security takes on The Carrington Event Wed, 15 Feb 12, 4:10amWhile we worry about future threats like global warming, and present threats like Iran’s escalating nuclear program, the sun’s propensity for belching out monstrous solar flares (like the Carrington event of 1859)...
- Biggest solar storm since 2005 Wed, 25 Jan 12, 11:28amIt is being called by WaPo “The Biggest solar storm since 2005“. The sun erupted late on January 22nd, 2012 with an M8.7 class flare. The Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the flare as seen below. From NASA:...
- Big CME headed toward Earth Sat, 21 Jan 12, 3:42pmFrom Spaceweather.com : Active sunspot 1401 erupted yesterday, Jan. 19th around 16:30 UT, producing an M3-class solar flare and a full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME). The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory recorded the...
- Big CME hits earth, low latitude auroras possible Tue, 25 Oct 11, 10:15amFrom the Rice University Spaceweather listserv Our space weather alert system is in level yellow, and the CME input of energy to the Earth’s magnetosphere still continues...
- Geomagnetic solar storm in progress Tue, 27 Sep 11, 6:46amSpaceweather.com reports: A strong-to-severe geomagnetic storm is in progress following the impact of a coronal mass ejection (CME) at approximately 12:15 UT on Sept. 26th. The Goddard Space Weather Lab reports a “strong...
- Power grid cut worries flaring over solar flares Tue, 14 Jun 11, 9:57amThis is quite alarming, but as Dr. Leif Svalgaard explained in his email tip to me, “…in this case, probably justified”. Here’s the story from the Independent: Officials in Britain and the United States...
