The aurora is expected to be bright and visible in multiple northern U.S. states Oct. 3 through Oct. 5 as well as from the lower Midwest to Oregon.
A solar flare from a sunspot region associated with this activity and preceding this period produced the then largest flare detected during the Space Age at about X20 (the first event to saturate spaceborne monitoring instruments, this was exceeded in 2003) but was directed away from Earth.
Three solar flares occurred over a 24-hour period this week. While we may not see them with a naked eye, they can affect Earth. Here's how.

On 8 May 2024, a solar active region which had been assigned the NOAA region number 13664 (AR3664) produced an X1.0-class and multiple M-class solar flares and launched several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) toward Earth. [6] On 9 May, the active region produced an X2.25- and X1.12-class flare each associated with a full-halo CME.
A solar flare is a relatively intense, localized emission of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun's atmosphere. Flares occur in active regions and are often, but not always, accompanied by coronal mass ejections, solar particle events, and other eruptive solar phenomena. The occurrence of solar flares varies with the 11-year solar cycle.
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare on Oct. 1, 2024. NASA had a busy start to October, as the agency announced that the sun emitted several major solar flares ...
This is a list of solar eclipses visible from the United States between 1901 and 2100. All eclipses whose path of totality or annularity passes through the land territory of the current fifty U.S. states and the District of Columbia are included. All types of solar eclipses, whether recent, upcoming, or in the past, are also included.
