The US Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) defines a Geomagnetic Storm as ‘a major disturbance of Earth's magnetosphere that occurs when there is a very efficient exchange of energy from the solar wind into the space environment surrounding Earth.’ According to NASA, the solar magnetic field...
A space weather expert says that an intense solar storm is heading directly towards Earth. Dr. Tamitha Skov, who goes by the name Space Weather Woman on social media, shared a tweet on July 16 warning of the solar storm heading to Earth. The storm is expected to hit Earth today and ...

The first wave hit the Earth the night of Sept. 11 and caused a moderate "G2" geomagnetic storm, yielding beautiful aurora light shows in Canada, the northern U.S. and Europe. The second, larger stream began hitting the Earth "just before noon EDT" today, according to C. Alex Young,...
The solar storm that hit Earth today (March 8) produced milder effects than was originally predicted, but space weather experts say we're not in the clear yet.
Fortunately, when the “Carrington Event” hit Earth, the world had precious little electric infrastructure to disturb. It was mostly telegraph wires along railway lines that felt any high-voltage surges. “There’s some expectation that if we were to have a repeat of the 1859 storm, it could...
