NOAA's NWS Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G3 (Strong) Geomagnetic Storm Watch for April 16, after a coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted from the sun last Sunday. The Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) instrument onboard NOAA's GOES East (GOES-19) satellite captured the Earth-directed double filament eruption. | NOAA Satellite and Information Service

The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a Geomagnetic Storm Watch for tonight! Will we be able to see them in New York State? Howard has more info on potential viewing conditions: | WBNG 12 News

NWS advances space weather prediction for the satellite industry with model upgrade and new products starting Aug. 2. New space weather products for satellite operators will help with decision-making, maneuver planning, orbit prediction, and collision avoidance.

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on Nov. 30, 2025, peaking at 9:49 p.m. ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.9 class: go.nasa.gov/4alXf6P Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. However — when intense enough — they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS & communications signals travel. To see how such sp

How much damage could a powerful solar flare actually do—and are we ready for it? Two days ago, a massive solar flare erupted. If it had been facing Earth, it likely would’ve registered as a G5—the highest level on NOAA’s geomagnetic storm scale. That’s Carrington Event territory. This isn’t a prediction. It’s just science. And understanding science isn’t fear-mongering. A G5 could cause: Widespread electrical disruptions Major blackouts Internet and communication systems offline And let’s be ho
