NOAA Issues G2 Solar Storm Watch; May Spark Auroras but Threaten Satellite Signals
Space weather scientists are monitoring a coronal mass ejection expected to reach Earth around January 2–3, 2026. NOAA forecasts a G2-level geomagnetic storm, which is considered moderate but can still affect satellites, power grids and radio communications. While the event may bring vivid auroras to high latitudes, it also highlights the Sun’s...

DIGIPIN Explained: What It Is, Benefits and How to Find Yours
DIGIPIN was introduced in India by the government in May this year for the simplification of location mapping, enhancing logistics and emergency response. The new digital platform, introduced in alignment with the National Geospatial Policy 2022, is said to ensure last-mile delivery, especially in rural areas. From information about DIGIPIN to a st...

New Study Models How Interstellar Objects Could Approach and Impact Earth
A new study simulating billions of hypothetical interstellar objects finds that potential Earth-crossing bodies would most likely arrive from the solar apex and the galactic plane. The research highlights relative approach patterns rather than predicting real impacts. Scientists emphasise that known visitors like ‘Oumuamua and Borisov pose no dan...

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.

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...
