The most powerful solar storm in more than two decades struck Earth on Friday, triggering spectacular celestial light shows from Tasmania to Britain – and threatening possible disruptions to satellites and power grids as it pers...
A CME IS COMING:On Mar. 1st, a magnetic filament on the sun erupted and hurleda CMEinto space. NOAA forecasters sayit will graze EarthonMarch 4th or 5th, potentially sparking aG1-class geomagnetic storm. High latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras if/when the CME arrives.CME ...
Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to G1 (Minor) storm levels. G1 conditions were observed on 11 Aug, likely due to the influence of passing CMEs that left the Sun over 07-08 Aug. Total magnetic field strength increased to ~11 nT on 10 Aug and increased to a peak of 21 nT...

It was this solar storm that created the widely seen auroras, and many amateur astronomers and even regular people without any particular astronomical knowledge were able to capture beautiful images because of developing camera technology. “Cameras — even standard cell phone cameras — are much more...
As time continued, the workings of gravity and the solar wind eventually resulted in the solar system becoming as we know it today. A mostly empty space with eight surviving planets, five dwarf planets, a band of possibly millions of asteroids. All of this is thought to be surrounded by a...
