Dark skies are optimal for viewing in Mid-Michigan looking to the north. The forecast for Wednesday night in our area is clear skies.

Lessons from the solar storm of May 1921.

Many pooh-pooh the idea of solar storms, but just as the sun rises every day, so does their threat to Earth

(Bloomberg) -- A few days ago, millions of tons of super-heated gas shot off from the surface of the sun and hurtled 90 million miles toward Earth.The eruption, called a coronal mass ejection, wasn’t particularly powerful on the space-weather scale, but when it hit the Earth’s magnetic field it triggered the strongest geomagnetic storm seen for years. There wasn’t much disruption this time -- few people probably even knew it happened -- but it served as a reminder the sun ha...

LOOK: Stunning Views Of Solar Outbursts Captured By The Solar Orbiter KEY POINTS It was the first CME detection for the SoloHI instrument Space agencies shared stunning views of the event The Solar Orbiter is not even on its main science mission yet but its already capturing incredible data. Its three instruments recently captured stunning views of coronal mass ejections (CME). NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) are still in their cruise phase and will only begin their main science phas...

Solar Orbiter mission spots eruption from the sun CNN 3 hrs ago By Ashley Strickland, CNN © Solar Orbiter/EUI Team/Metis Team/SoloHI team/ESA/NASA This imagery comes from three different instruments on Solar Orbiter showing eruptions happening on the sun. A happy accident has resulted in the Solar Orbiter mission spying eruptions from the sun. These eruptions, called coronal mass ejections, blast out solar particles across the solar system and have the potential to disrupt ...

On May 12, a weak Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) released from the Sun hit Earth. The event was supposed to pass by uneventfully — it would perhaps spark a few auroras, but nothing more. So how did a strong G3 geomagnetic storm ensue? Nobody was expecting a level 3 event from this CME. Nobody saw the KP Index hitting 7. © spaceweathernews.comAnd when I say nobody, I mean nobody predicted this: not NASA, NOAA, ESA or IPS in Australia. The CMEs speed peaked at just 500 km/s (purple line below). ...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a geomagnetic storm warning for Earth, technology is at risk of failure.

Apr 26, 2021 05:08 PM EDT The National Weather Services Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) has reformed the Geomagnetic Storm Watch that was in effect on April 25 to a Geomagnetic Storm Warning after discovering the early appearance of a hearty solar wind. (Photo : Pixabay) SWPC  The SWPC reveals that minor to moderate level of the geomagnetic storm are being observed which shows the early arrival of an expected coronal mass ejection that came out of the Sun on April 22. The improvement in...
