News about Earth, auroras

Current interplanetary and storm conditions: no Radio storm, S1 Radiation storm, and G3 Geomagnetic storm. The solar wind speed is still very high (almost 900 km/s!), but the magnetic field displays rather low magnitudes and the Bz component is still oscillating around the zero. pic.twitter.com/V0WSPC5HVw

What's brewin' in the solar wind—an update: Current storm conditions are: Radio R1, Radiation S1, Geomagnetic G4. Solar wind speeds are still high (~800 km/s), but the Bz field is close to zero, so G4 conditions are unlikely to hold. Will a following CME turn the lights back up? pic.twitter.com/1JaXDPFN2K

Another one! ☀️ 💥 An M6.6-class solar flare erupted on Monday, May 13. (Not as strong as some of the others we’ve had in the past week, but it sure is pretty!) This week, we’re answering popular questions about solar storms and their impacts on Earth. Stay tuned! pic.twitter.com/EPgHa9D4Er

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on May 12, peaking at 12:26 p.m. ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.0. blogs.nasa.gov/solarcycle25/2024/05/12/strong-flare-erupts-from-sun/ pic.twitter.com/90jMPovE1m
