Bookmark or Share- How NASA Tracked the Most Intense Solar Storm in DecadesFrom May 3 through May 9, 2024, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory observed 82 notable solar flares. The flares came mainly from two active regions on the Sun called AR 13663 and AR 13664. This video highlights all flares classified at M5 or higher with nine categorized as X-class solar flares.
- Solar Radiation Storm - NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction CenterSolar radiation storms occur when a large-scale magnetic eruption, often causing a coronal mass ejection and associated solar flare, accelerates charged particles in the solar atmosphere to very high velocities. The most important particles are protons which can get accelerated to large fractions of the speed of light.

SUNGRAZING COMET: Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) is falling toward the sun for a (possibly fatal) close encounter on Jan. 13th. Juan Jose Ortiz saw it this morning from Metepec, Mexico: "I saw the comet surrounded by the orange glow of dawn just before sunrise," says Ortiz.
- Space Weather Phenomena | NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction CenterGeomagnetic storms are fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field, caused by changes in the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field. Ionosphere The Ionosphere, between 80 and ~600 km in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, is where solar radiation caused ionization creates a layer of electrons that can effect earth systems.
