Where Your Checked Bag Goes At The Airport And Why It Sometimes Gets Lost
If you have ever wondered how your checked-in bags are transported from one destination to another at an airport, here's what really happens.

Northern Lights Could Be Visible in These US States Tonight, How To See Them
The northern lights are caused by geomagnetic storms, which occur when charged particles from the sun collide with gases in Earth's atmosphere, creating brilliant waves of light in the sky.

Solar Storm From Four Sun Eruptions Could Cause Minor Geomagnetic Activity
A burst of solar activity could soon paint Earth’s skies with auroras. Between October 11 and 13, the Sun fired four coronal mass ejections toward Earth, expected to arrive October 15–17. NOAA predicts mild G1 geomagnetic storms that could trigger colorful northern lights visible across high and even mid-latitude regions.

Northern Lights And Autumn Star To Light Up The Night Sky This Week
Here's how to catch the best views of the aurora borealis, the full harvest moon, and Fomalhaut - the seasonal "Autumn Star."

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.

Aurora Alert! Northern Lights May Be Visible as Far South as New York on June 14
A moderate G2 geomagnetic storm on June 14 could push auroras as far south as New York and Idaho, triggered by solar wind from a coronal hole. NOAA forecasts peak geomagnetic activity with a Kp index of 5.67. While increased daylight may limit visibility, skywatchers are advised to look out for northern lights during early morning hours.

NASA Rover Observes Aurora On Mars In Visible Light For First Time
NASA's Perseverance rover has observed an aurora on Mars in visible light for the first time, with the sky glowing softly in green in the first viewing of an aurora from any planetary surface other than Earth.

"100 Times Brighter": NASA's Webb Telescope Captures New Details Of Auroras On Jupiter
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured stunning images of dancing lights, called auroras, on Jupiter. Similar to the Northern Lights we see on Earth.

Solar Storm to Trigger Northern Lights in US: Visibility, Timing & Impact
A solar storm is expected to reach Earth tonight, potentially creating auroras visible as far south as New York and Idaho. The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) of NOAA forecasts a G1-class geomagnetic storm, with a possibility of stronger G2 conditions. This may lead to disruptions in GPS and radio signals. The best time to witness the northe...

Dream Of Seeing The Northern Lights? Here's Why 2025 Is Set To Be A Great Year For It
Experts predict aurora activity will be at its strongest in a decade, thanks to the solar maximum.

Massive Coronal Hole on Sun Sends High-Speed Solar Wind Toward Earth
A giant 800,000 km coronal hole on the Sun is unleashing high-speed solar wind toward Earth, potentially triggering a G1 geomagnetic storm on January 31 and February 1. The NOAA has issued a watch, predicting enhanced auroras in higher latitudes. While G1 storms are minor, they can impact satellites and power grids. The storm’s intensity remains ...

Unusual White Streaks in Northern Lights Raise Questions About Atmospheric Phenomenon
White streaks have been observed weaving through the northern lights, presenting a new atmospheric puzzle. Captured by the TREx mission, these eerie white glows appear alongside traditional red and green auroras or in areas where colourful displays have faded. The phenomenon is not considered an aurora, but its emission pattern shares similarities ...
