A Direct Hit! The impressive #solarstorm launched in the Earth-strike zone has been modeled by NASA. The storm is predicted to hit Earth by midday December 1. Along with two earlier storms already ...
A geomagnetic storm is heading to Earth, with the possibility to disrupt GPS and communications. It could also bring the northern lights to Northern California, much farther south than is typical.
Energy released in a solar storm led to increased aurora activity in Earth's atmosphere on Thursday and Friday. ... The actual mass of the coronal mass ejection is now interacting with Earth's own ...
A coronal mass ejection (CME) is a significant ejection of plasma mass from the Sun's corona into the heliosphere. CMEs are often associated with solar flares and other forms of solar activity , but a broadly accepted theoretical understanding of these relationships has not been established.
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. [3] On 9 May, the active region produced an X2.25- and X1.12-class flare each associated with a full-halo CME.

As the charged particles ejected from the sun hit the Earth’s magnetic field, they create auroras, also called northern lights. They’re not visible in the daytime but can be spectacular at night.
The Carrington Event was the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history, peaking on 1–2 September 1859 during solar cycle 10.It created strong auroral displays that were reported globally and caused sparking and even fires in telegraph stations. [1]
