A large portion of the Northern Hemisphere is under a warning this weekend, and it's because of some crazy activity from the sun. A Solar storm that NASA says is "unusually strong" is bearing down on the planet, and should produce some of the most spectacular views of the Northern Lights...

A new solar storm prediction system based in Antarctica could provide astronauts in space warning time of over two hours for them to take cover after massive flares or Coronal Mass Ejections erupt from the Sun. The South Pole Neutron Monitor is able to forecast the radiation intensity of ...
In 1859, a geomagnetic storm — the largest in recorded history — disrupted technological systems, such as they were at the time, on Earth. Referred to as the “Carrington Event” after Richard Carrington, the a...

An unusually strong solar storm hitting Earth produced stunning displays of color in the skies across the Northern Hemisphere, with no immediate reports of disruptions to power and communications.

Last year, NASA launched its so-called Solar Shield project to serve as an early-warning system for serious space weather events. Powerful impacts possible Monday night's storm produced both a big solar flare and a CME. Wdespread satellite or communications disruption, however, is likely not ...
