Intense Solar Storm With Huge CMEs Forced Astronauts to Take Shelter on the ISS
A major solar storm in mid-November 2025 dazzled Earth with vivid auroras but forced astronauts on the ISS to take radiation precautions. Russian cosmonauts sheltered in the station’s heavily protected Destiny lab, while other crew members stayed in shielded quarters as controllers limited access to higher-risk modules during the event.

Sun Unleashes Strongest Flare of 2025, Causing Global Radio Blackouts
On Nov. 11, 2025, the Sun erupted with an X5.1-class flare, disrupting shortwave communications across Africa and Europe. The flare’s X-rays and UV radiation ionized Earth’s upper atmosphere, causing R3-level radio blackouts. NOAA warned that a coronal mass ejection could reach Earth on Nov. 12, potentially triggering strong geomagnetic storms ...

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.

JWST Delivers First-Ever Weather Report of Rogue Brown Dwarf World Glowing With Auroras
Astronomers using JWST have delivered the first weather report of SIMP-0136, a rogue brown dwarf about 20 light-years away. The study revealed stable silicate clouds, auroras heating the upper atmosphere, and possible giant storm systems. Findings mark a breakthrough in studying alien weather and pave the way for mapping exoplanet climates.

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.
