On July 3, 2026, a geomagnetic storm reached G3 intensity and pushed visible auroras across more than 30 U.S. states, ...
Most people are familiar with the impact solar storms can have on technology. However, a question that often arises is whether these solar events can also affect human health. Read on to know more.
A gigantic solar eruption in November 2021 defied expectations. Two spacecraft—Solar Orbiter at 0.85 AU and Wind at 0.98 AU—watched the same coronal mass ejection (CME) as it zoomed through the solar ...
New research shows that geomagnetic storms can cause immediate changes in precipitation, surface temperatures, and other weather conditions.
Space weather or solar storms peak during solar maximum – a cycle that occurs approximately every 11 years – but serious events can also happen during solar minimum. Currently, we are experiencing a ...
A new study has revealed an unexpected link between solar storms and the flux of high-energy cosmic rays arriving at Earth.
The regular solar cycle is a mere climate murmur, but sudden geomagnetic jolts are a different story. These high-altitude outbursts appear to be hijacking the polar vortex to rewrite weather on the ...
Solar storms satellites must withstand are among the most powerful natural space events, driven by space weather activity that releases massive energy bursts into the solar system. These events ...
The SMILE spacecraft will study for three years how the solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetic shield to try to predict dangerous geomagnetic storms, capable of affecting satellites and ...
