Page 60 - Coronal Mass Ejection News Today

The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, shines above Bear Lake Solar Flare Just like this earth having different conditions in the atmosphere from day to day, the sun goes through the same thing. Solar activity, similar to flares are not extraordinary although some periods of time are far more active compared to others. Both the intensity and size of every flare differs as well. When the sun expels energy in the form of a solar flare, that particular radiation moves through space and can affec...

Earth Under A Geomagnetic Storm Warning; What That Means KEY POINTS It follows the coronal mass ejection from the Sun several days ago The warning is for a mild to moderate geomagnetic storm What does it mean if the Earth is under a geomagnetic storm warning? It may be a warning for possible disruptions and an alert for beautiful auroras. On Sunday, there was a geomagnetic storm warning on the planet because of the "early arrival" of a coronal mass ejection (CME) that happened on the Sun on ...

Editors note: This is the third in a series of columns by Don Loucks evaluating the February winter storms and the states response and preparation. To read the first column, click here. Read the second column in the series here.  After the Great Texas Winter Storm of 2021, we have heard much about the lack of preparedness on the part of various governments and utilities. One news account in the Statesman described the storm as “unprecedented.” It was not. The winter storm of 1899 was ...

Western Slope Skies By Zach Schierl Credit NASA/ESA When it comes to astronomy, the dark night skies of the Western Slope command most of our attention. It can be easy to forget that the most important astronomical object actually lives in the daytime sky: the Sun! Listen Episode aired Friday, Feb. 19th and Wednesday, Feb. 24th, 2021 Our Sun is a star, and a dynamic one at that. While some details about the inner workings of the Sun remain poorly understood, one thing we do know is tha...

Feb 01, 2021 09:47 PM EST Chances of seeing an aurora or two next week increase as space experts forecasted the arrival of a stream of solar particles heading towards Earth. The solar particles or solar wind are on their way to the planet. (Photo : ipicgr on Pixabay) A stream of solar winds is approaching Earth, space experts have said. A small hole has opened on the surface of the Suns southern hemisphere, releasing a barrage of solar particles. Earth is directly in the crosshairs of the par...

The interaction between the remnants of a solar storm and the Earth is called a geomagnetic storm. Geomagnetic Storm According to Space Weather, a geomagnetic storm is a temporary disturbance of the Earths planetary magnetosphere after getting in contact with solar winds or other cosmic magnetic particles strong enough to create interference. Coronal Mass Injections are the usual sources of the particles that interact with the Earths magnetic field. An increase in solar wind pressure compresses...

Coronal heating & solar wind, returns from solar missions shed light on Sun’s mysteries January 21, 2021 It’s one of the greatest mysteries in solar physics.  Dubbed the coronal heating problem, the issue arises from the fact that the solar corona, or Sun’s atmosphere, is millions of degrees hotter than the layers directly below it. This goes against modeling that suggests the corona should be far cooler than the layers below it. Numerous theories have been proposed to explain the proble...

The plague year 2020 was yet another brutal rejoinder to the belief that brute forces can be pushed to the margins of, and eventually out of, humanity’s experience. When today’s pandemic recedes, what should linger is a quickened appreciation of the fragility of life and social arrangements. And an awareness that things much worse than COVID-19 have happened before, and will continue to happen. The human story is not entirely about human choices. The 1918-1919 “Spanish flu,”...
