Rare ‘Polar Rain’ Aurora Lights Up Christmas Skies

A unique, smooth, and featureless aurora observed over Norway during Christmas 2022 was caused by a rare phenomenon called ‘polar rain,’ where high-energy electrons from a coronal hole on the sun rained directly onto Earth’s poles. This event, captured by ground-based cameras, provided the first-ever observation of this type of aurora from Earth.

Powerful Solar Storm Lights Up Skies, Threatens Power Grids

A powerful solar storm, the first extreme geomagnetic storm since 2003, has struck Earth, triggering spectacular auroras in the skies from the United Kingdom to Australia. The storm is expected to persist into the weekend, potentially causing disruptions to satellites and power grids. Authorities are urging satellite operators, airlines, and power grid operators to take precautionary measures.

Severe Geomagnetic Storm to Hit Earth for First Time in 18 Years

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center has issued an alert warning of a severe (G4) geomagnetic storm expected to hit Earth on May 10-12, 2024. This is the first storm of this magnitude since January 2005. The storm is caused by multiple Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that are expected to merge and arrive on Earth late May 10 or early May 11. The storm has the potential to disrupt infrastructure, including communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio, and satellite operations. However, it may also cause spectacular displays of aurora in northern states of the US, Canada, and northern Europe.
