Solar activity is at its maximum now, accelerating the atmospheric drag faced by satellites by up to tenfold.

The state weather bureau on Thursday, April 21, released images of the Sun showing three large sunspot groups. “Sunspots are areas on the Sun’s surface that are relatively cooler and appear dark[er] than its surroundings,” said PAGASA. Sunspot group (Image courtesy of PAGASA) The patches, accor

Two separate solar storms hit the Earth this week and more are on the way should we be worried as scientists have previously warned of an "internet apocalypse".

Two mild geomagnetic storms are expected to hit Earth on March 14 and 15 after a large coronal outburst, NOAA warns

This weekend saw incredible Northern Lights shows visible across the whole of Iceland, including the capital, Reykjavik, despite the occasional cloud cover. NASA predicts that the Aurora is set to build in frequency over the forth-coming months, with the brightest levels seen for 50 years.

Each sunspot cycle has been getting less intense. This means temperature drops… And right now, the weather is following this trend. (Article republished from StrangeSounds.org) Comparison between solar maximum and solar minimum. Picture: NASAJust a few days ago, I discussed the space weather forecast of several scientists for solar cycle 25. While some very big solar storms have already taken place, the new cycle is week in overall. Meanwhile, dozens of cold records were broken or shattere...

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). ...

NOW Magazine The Run Gallery presents Solar Maximum, an exhibition that depicts seasonal and astronomical shifts and transitions, developing themes reflected in the cosmos; notably The Sun, other stars and The Moon phases and cycles. Through both silkscreen and hand toning applications on large scale tableaus, Douglas is able to weave and pattern a narrative which speaks to our more innate and unconscious sense of universal balance. These Alchemic, theory driven compositions are meticulously e...

SPACE weather forecast: Another solar storm is set to hit Earth today following the strongest yet of the current solar cycle yesterday, as experts reveal we have entered the most geomagnetically active month of the year.

inconveniences over the next 12 to potentially 24 hours. weve been talking about the sun here for a good couple of months because were entering the cycle or part of an 11-year cycle where were in the solar maximum. the next 18 to 24 months really well see a lot of this stuff. what do we mean by that? a lot of this stuff. black areas on the sun. sun spots. a lot of geomagnetic energy there. these are areas that throw out solar flares. we love looking at these puppies. this stuff coming ...
