NASA’s GNEISS Mission Will Map Electric Currents Behind the Aurora
NASA’s GNEISS mission will launch from Alaska in early 2026 to probe the electric currents that drive auroras. Two rockets will fly through glowing auroral arcs, releasing sub-payloads whose radio signals act like a CT scan. By mapping electron density and direction, scientists aim to improve space weather forecasting and better protect satellite...

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...
