The Sun Erupted With the Year’s Largest Solar Flare This Week, and Space Weather-Fueled Aurora Activity Could Continue
The last in a series of three coronal mass ejections hit Earth on Wednesday, so experts are keeping an eye on geomagnetic storm potential
A severe geomagnetic storm put the power grids in at least 11 states at risk this week, posing a threat to millions.
A coronal mass ejection is a massive burst of plasma and magnetic energy from the sun that can light up Earth’s skies with auroras, or disrupt satellites and power grids if it’s strong enough.
NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) in Boulder, Colo., issued a G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm watch for Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025 into the following day. This comes as forecasters watch a pair of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that are anticipated ...
Before we get to more cloud cover by Saturday and multiple rain and storm chances for the upcoming work week, we have a chance to see the International Space Station
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Early risers got a glimpse of a celestial treat over the First Coast Saturday morning around 6:17 a.m. A satellite re-entered Earth's atmosphere, broke into many pieces, and burned up upon entry. This is called space junk. Satellites are designed to break apart and burn up in the atmosphere when they're done orbiting the Earth.
Blue Origin scrubbed once again its launch attempt for its New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral, this time blaming space weather.
NASA's Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) mission will study "magnetic reconnection and its effects in Earth's atmosphere," according to the Goddard Space Flight Center.
