The affects are expected to be felt today, with heightened geomagnetic activity being predicted over the next few days.

The Sun is constantly spewing solar wind, a stream of charged particles, into interplanetary space. Occasionally, it bursts through in waves that can slam into planets. Geomagnetic storms happen when ...

A huge sun eruption combines with speedy solar wind from a "coronal hole" for a ... plasma toward Earth on Friday may trigger a strong geomagnetic storm this weekend that could supercharge auroras ...

The NOAA describes geomagnetic storms as "a major disturbance of Earth's magnetosphere that occurs when there is a very efficient exchange of energy from the solar wind into the space environment ...

Research published by scientists in England found a 2017 solar event compressed Jupiter's magnetic field, setting off aurora at the poles and heating in the upper atmosphere that spread across the ...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) has issued a geomagnetic storm warning for tonight (March 25) due to incoming turbulent solar ...

The solar winds from this coronal hole are scheduled to reach Earth by the end of this week. "We will probably start seeing the effects of the high-speed wind on March 24," Young added.

The solar wind escapes from these areas of the sun at higher speeds and is the “coronal hole high-speed stream.” When it arrives on Earth, geomagnetic storms are expected to increase — hence ...
