Powerful X-Class Solar Flare Sends CME Toward Earth, Storms Possible
A powerful X1.9 solar flare erupted on January 18, launching a fast coronal mass ejection toward Earth. Space weather agencies warn of strong geomagnetic storms that could disrupt satellites, GPS and radio communications, while also producing vivid auroras visible well beyond the polar regions.

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.

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...

Solar Storm Sparks Northern Lights Across Western Hemisphere on New Year's Eve
Solar storms on New Year’s Eve sparked breathtaking auroras across the US and Europe, with vibrant displays visible as far south as California, Austria, and Germany. Two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) struck Earth’s magnetic field, causing geomagnetic storms that reached G3 levels on January 1.

X-Class Solar Flare Erupts on the Sun, Earth-Directed CME Might Have Been Released
A powerful X1.3-class solar flare erupted from the sun on 12 September 2024, potentially boosting aurora visibility across the US this weekend. The flare, which caused a geomagnetic storm rated at G3, also disrupted radio signals in various regions. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center is closely monitoring this solar activity as more flares ar...
