☀️A new era in space weather forecasting is beginning... Last year, we saw an increase in solar storms that lit up the skies with stunning auroras across Europe. However, these events can be disruptive, effecting power, satellites & communications. Space weather needs to be predicted early and accurately to give us the crucial time needed to protect satellites, astronauts and vital infrastructure on Earth. That’s where our Vigil mission comes in. Acting as a dedicated ‘space weather reporter’, V

It’s #SunDay! This week’s space weather report includes: · 2 X-class flares · 12 M-class flares · 38 coronal mass ejections · 1 geomagnetic storm This video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows the week’s activity. The two X-class flares both erupted from the same active region. Spot them at about 2:11 and 3:06 below! 🤩 More on flares & coronal mass ejections: http://go.nasa.gov/3Naeuv9 | NASA Space Alerts

The sun is becoming very active and you will be hearing more and more about space weather today, this week, and in the coming months. NOAA developed this excellent video to explain what space weather is and how it impacts life on Earth. Check out the "5 things" to know about it: | Weatherboy Weather

Happy #SunDay! In this week’s space weather report, there were 13 solar flares, 20 coronal mass ejections, and no geomagnetic storms. The following video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory shows several active regions and flares bursting off the Sun. | NASA Space Alerts

Happy #SunDay! This week’s space weather report includes: · 1 C-class flare · 1 M-class flare · 17 coronal mass ejections · 0 geomagnetic storms This video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows activity on the Sun over the past week. Despite the quiet week on the Sun, SDO was very busy! It saw Earth eclipse the Sun four times between 1:28 and 2:48, and completed a calibration maneuver at 2:20.
