Comparable in size to the May 2024 storms. [46] Oct 1903 Solar storm of Oct-Nov 1903 An extreme storm, estimated at Dst −531 nT arose from a fast CME (mean ≈1500 km/s), occurred during the ascending phase of the minimum of the relatively weak solar cycle 14, which is the most significant storm on record in a solar minimum period. Aurora was ...
The solar storms of May 2024 (also known as 2024 Mother's Day solar storm [1] or Gannon storm in memory of Jennifer Gannon, [2] a space weather physicist [3]) were a series of powerful solar storms with extreme solar flares and geomagnetic storm components that occurred from 10–13 May 2024 during solar cycle 25. The geomagnetic storm was the ...
The Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel predicted in December 2019 [11] that solar cycle 25 will be similar to solar cycle 24, with the preceding solar cycle minimum in April 2020 (± 6 months), and the number of sunspots reaching a (smoothed) maximum of 115 in July 2025 (± 8 months).
The SWPC rates solar storms on a five-level scale, with five being the most extreme and rarest space weather conditions. As the CH HSS influences first begin to reach Earth, there is a chance for ...
A strong solar storm today might be the best chance since May to see the northern lights from Ohio. ... which is projected to happen in July 2025, nears, geomagnetic storms are more likely to ...
A severe solar storm may supercharge the northern lights from Friday ... which began in late 2019, is predicted to peak with maximum activity in July 2025, according to NOAA and NASA forecasts ...
The year 2024 was huge for solar news. In April, a total solar eclipse was visible to millions of Americans, which was then followed by multiple widespread northern and southern lights caused by CMEs.
Solar storms include: Solar flare, a large explosion in the Sun's atmosphere caused by tangling, crossing or reorganizing of magnetic field lines; Coronal mass ejection (CME), a massive burst of plasma from the Sun, sometimes associated with solar flares; Geomagnetic storm, the interaction of the Sun's outburst with Earth's magnetic field
