Hidden Magnetic 'Island' Sparks Solar Storm, Brings Northern Lights To US Skies. See Pics
Initially, the forecasters predicted minor to moderate (G1-G2) storms, but the hidden island turned it into a strong G3 storm.

Solar Storm From Hidden Magnetic Island on the Sun Surprises Scientists
In mid-September 2025, a “secret” magnetic island inside a solar coronal hole triggered a powerful G3 storm. The surprise event sent dazzling auroras across North America, seen as far south as Illinois. Researchers say the rare polarity patch intensified solar winds, making aurora season’s start spectacular.

Researchers Develop Method to Predict Rare Green Auroral Events on Mars
In 2024, NASA’s Perseverance rover captured the first green aurora on Mars. Now scientists can forecast these rare events by tracking powerful solar storms. Beyond their glow, auroras signal radiation that could endanger astronauts. This breakthrough forecasting method is crucial for protecting future human explorers on the Red Planet.

Butterfly-Shaped Hole in the Sun Could Spark Solar Storms Worldwide This Weekend
A giant butterfly-shaped coronal hole on the Sun is blasting solar wind toward Earth, expected to trigger geomagnetic storm conditions on Sept. 13–14. Forecasts suggest possible G1 to G2 levels, raising chances for auroras across mid- and high-latitudes. Scientists note the equinox effect could intensify activity, offering a prime opportunity for...

NASA’s Juno Spacecraft Detects Callisto’s Aurora, Completing Jupiter’s Galilean Moons Set
NASA’s Juno spacecraft has captured Callisto’s elusive auroral footprint, completing the “family portrait” of Jupiter’s Galilean moons. Each moon carves its own aurora into the gas giant’s poles, revealing how they interact with Jupiter’s powerful magnetosphere. Callisto’s faint arc appeared during a 2019 flyby, finally confirming i...

Cannibal Solar Storm May Trigger Auroras as Powerful Geomagnetic Storm to Hit Earth Soon
Between Sept. 1–2, Earth will be struck by a powerful geomagnetic storm caused by a rare “cannibal” solar eruption. The event formed when a fast coronal mass ejection (CME) overtook and consumed an earlier one, creating a stronger, chaotic cloud. As this storm interacts with Earth’s magnetic field, it may produce vivid auroras visible far b...

Researchers Discover New Plasma Wave in Jupiter’s Auroral Skies
Scientists at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have detected a new plasma wave in Jupiter’s aurora using NASA’s Juno spacecraft. The finding, published in Physical Review Letters, reveals how Jupiter’s magnetic field shapes auroral activity differently from Earth. The study opens new directions for understanding planetary auroras and m...

Sun Erupts with Triple Solar Flares After Weeks of Silence
After a 22-day period of solar calm, the Sun unleashed three M-class solar flares on August 3–4, 2025, all originating from active sunspot region AR 4168. These moderate flares released intense radiation, capable of briefly disrupting high-frequency radio signals and potentially sparking auroras at high latitudes. Scientists also detected likel...

Indian Scientists Unravel the Mystery Behind Rare Aurora Over Ladakh
A team of Indian astronomers has successfully explained the rare aurora seen over Ladakh, caused by intense solar activity and CME collisions. The event, captured in May 2024, was traced using global data and advanced solar models, offering new insights into space weather forecasting and solar storm impacts on Earth.
