SPACE WEATHER

This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University: https://www.millersville.edu/swen This week our Sun gives us a surprise boost in activity as a weak solar storm conspires with some fast solar wind and bumps us up to solar storm conditions for a short while. Aurora photographers have been reporting aurora visible in the upper mid-latitudes and high latitude watchers have been greeted by some dazzling shows. With more fast solar wind on the way, high-latitudes could continue having active aurora in through the weekend. As for radio communications, the sun remains spotless so we are remaining at the low end of marginal for radio propagation. Solar flux will likely hold steady in the low 70s over this next week. At least GPS users should enjoy decent GPS reception on Earth's dayside, but nightside reception might suffer, especially near aurora and near dawn and dusk. Learn the details of the ongoing solar storm, where and when aurora is visible, and what else our Sun has in store this week. Want early access to these forecasts, tutorials on Space Weather, & more?

Earth’s magnetic field protects life on Earth from the intense radiation and titanic amounts of energetic material our Sun blasts in every direction. However, astronauts and satellites in space, future explorers travelling to the Moon and Mars, and infrastructure on Earth such as power grids and communication systems remain vulnerable to these violent outbursts. For this reason, ESA is planning to send a satellite to monitor the ‘side’ of our Sun, from a gravitationally stable position known as the fifth Lagrange point. From here, the Lagrange satellite will detect potentially hazardous solar events before they come into view from Earth, giving us advance knowledge of their speed, direction and chance of impact. ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe and click twice on the bell button to receive our notifications.

This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University: https://www.millersville.edu/swen Space Weather has been calming down over the past few days since a solar storm hit Earth at the turn of the month. However, more fast solar wind is coming, which could give us another chance for aurora at high latitudes into the weekend, with views possibly extending down to mid-latitudes for a short while. Although sunspot 2757 has now rotated to the Sun's farside, we do have two new bright regions rotating into Earth-view on the Sun's east limb. These regions are helping to keep radio propagation on Earth's dayside in the marginal range. Expect solar flux to remain in the low 70s this week. GPS users should continue to enjoy good GPS reception on Earth's dayside thanks to a spotless Sun, but on Earth's nightside, GPS reception could get a little dicey near dawn and dusk, and anywhere near aurora once the solar storm hits. Learn the details of the coming fast solar wind, catch up on aurora photos from the recent storm, and see what else our Sun has in store!

This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University: https://www.millersville.edu/swen This week space weather started out quietly, but got exciting fast. We have two bright regions that have emerged on the Sun. One is a cycle 24 (old cycle) sunspot that has fired an Earth-directed solar storm! The second is a cycle 25 bright region that is helping to boost the solar flux back into the mid-70s. This means radio propagation on Earth's dayside gets a nice boost. We also have a good chance for aurora at high latitudes (and possibly even mid-latitudes) starting on January 29. Learn the details of this coming solar storm, how GPS reception and radio communication will fare this week, and see what else our Sun has in store.

This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University: https://www.millersville.edu/swen This week our Sun shows more signs of life by firing multiple solar storms in the past few days. Several of these have been Earth-directed, and although small, they are nonetheless a welcome sight. Along with some fast solar wind from a coronal hole hitting Earth now, these mini-storms are causing some brilliant displays of aurora at high latitudes. In addition, our Sun continues to keep the solar flux in the low 70s, which means we are remaining in the marginal range for radio propagation on Earth's dayside. See the details of the storming this week including how it will affect GPS reception and radio communications, and in a special segment on Mars, learn how a recent scientific study on Martian ice-mining impacts planned landing sites for the first human mission to the Red Planet.

The sun gives us light and heat and keeps our planetary orbit in place—but there's so much we don't know about it. NASA's Parker Solar Probe is currently orbiting the sun to gather data and learn more. Join Eric Christian, a research scientist on the Parker Solar Probe mission, and learn more about what information the probe is bringing us and what we can learn from it.

There’s a wind that emanates from the Sun. It blows not like a soft whistle but like a hurricane’s scream. Made of electrons, protons and heavier ions, the solar wind courses through the solar system at roughly 1 million mph (1.6 million kph), barreling over everything in its path. Yet through the wind’s roar, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe hears the small chirps, squeaks and rustles that hint at the origin of this mysterious and ever-present wind. The spacecraft’s FIELDS instrument can eavesdrop on the electric and magnetic fluctuations caused by plasma waves. The Parker Solar Probe it can “hear” when the waves and particles interact with one another, recording frequency and amplitude information about these plasma waves that scientists could then play as sound waves. And it results in some striking sounds.

This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University: https://www.millersville.edu/swen This week our Sun shakes things up by launching its first solar storm of the year. Considering we are still waiting for Solar Cycle 25 to arrive officially, this solar storm launch is a welcome surprise. Along with a small pocket of fast solar wind expected to arrive near coincident with the solar storm in a few days, aurora photographers might be able to catch glimpses of the aurora even down to mid latitudes for a short while. In addition to the solar storm, we have yet another solar cycle 25 sunspot in Earth-view. These sightings are becoming more the norm than the exception, which means we could see flare activity pick up again over the next few months. As it is, solar flux is creeping up to the mid-70s, with radio propagation back well into the marginal range on Earth's dayside. GPS users should also be enjoying decent GPS/GNSS reception early in the week, but should stay away from nightside aurora and from the dawn-dusk regions, especially once the solar storm hits. learn the details of the coming solar storm, see where and when aurora might be visible, and find out what else our Sun has in store. This week also has a special deep dive into the Parker Solar Probe discovery of magnetic switchbacks in the solar wind and what it means in terms of finding the holy grail of solar physics.

This episode of Space Weather News is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist This week our Sun's activity picks up a little bit. We have a small coronal hole that is rotating through the Earth-strike zone and the fast wind it is sending us is causing aurora at high latitudes. Although we have seen this coronal hole before, it is closing so the fast wind is much weaker this time around. Expect unsettled conditions over the next few days and aurora that will likely stay confined to high latitudes. In addition to the fast solar wind, we are also seeing another solar cycle 25 bright region rotating into Earth-view on the Sun's east limb. This region has briefly emerged strongly enough to become a sunspot, but it likely wont last long enough to get an official number designation before it disappears below the Sun's surface again. Nonetheless, it is yet another indicator of the new cycle that is nearly here! Learn details of the current fast wind hitting Earth, how the new bright region is affecting radio propagation as well as GPS reception on Earth's dayside, and see what else our Sun has in store!

This Solar Storm Forecast is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist Space weather this week remains on the quiet side, but we are continuing to see a slight boost in the solar flux due to emergence of small bright regions in Earth view. Some of these regions are at high latitudes, which is indicative of the new solar cycle trying to take hold. These regions dont last too long, but their constant presence is enough to boost radio propagation and keep it in the marginal range. This boost is expected to continue throughout this week. In addition, we have a weak coronal hole rotating through the Earth-strike zone, which will bring a weak fast solar wind stream, likely causing aurora at high latitudes. However, it will not be enough to bump us anywhere close to solar storm levels so mid-latitude aurora photographers will just have to sit this one out. GPS users should find this weak storm helps to stabilize the upper atmosphere so their GPS reception should remain pretty robust, even at low latitudes.

Launched in 2018, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe spacecraft, with instruments developed and built by UC Berkeley, has now travelled closer to the sun than any other mission in history, actually penetrating the sun’s atmosphere, to investigate highly charged magnetic field. Now, that data has allowed solar physicists to map the source of a major component of the solar wind that continually peppers Earth’s atmosphere, while revealing strange magnetic field reversals that could be accelerating these particles toward our planet. These accelerated particles interact with Earth’s magnetic field, generating the colorful northern and southern lights but also potentially damaging the electrical grid and telecommunications networks on the surface, threatening orbiting satellites and perhaps endangering astronauts in space. The more solar physicists understand about the magnetic environment of the sun and how it flings solar wind particles out toward the planets, the better they will be able to predict events to prevent damage. “There was a major space weather event in 1859 that blew out telegraph networks on Earth and one in 1972 that set off naval mines in North Vietnam, just from the electrical currents generated by the solar storm,” said Stuart Bale, a University of California, Berkeley, professor of physics and lead author of an article about new results from the probe’s FIELDS experiment. “We’re much more of a technological society than we were in 1972, the communications networks and the power grid on Earth are extraordinarily complex, so big disturbances from the sun are potentially a very serious thing. If we could predict space weather, we could shut down or isolate parts of the power grid, or shut down satellite systems that might be vulnerable.” (Cont'd...)

Parker Solar Probe - NASA's mission to touch the Sun - has revealed new discoveries about our star. Principal Investigators for some of the mission's instruments share their excitement about this new science.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe mission has returned unprecedented data from near the Sun, culminating in new discoveries published on Dec. 4, 2019, in the journal Nature. Among the findings are new understandings of how the Sun's constant outflow of material, the solar wind, behaves. Seen near Earth -- where it can interact with our planet's natural magnetic field and cause space weather effects that interfere with technology -- the solar wind appears to be a relatively uniform flow of plasma. But Parker Solar Probe's observations reveal a complicated, active system not seen from Earth.

This episode of Space Weather News is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist Happy Thanksgiving! Space Weather remains unsettled this week as we have some more fast solar wind from a southern hemisphere coronal hole hitting Earth in the next day or so. Although this fast wind will be pretty weak overall, it should keep us at unsettled conditions through the weekend. It will also bring aurora shows to high latitudes in through the weekend before settling down. Although the aurora never made it very far south during the previous solar storm last week, we do have the Unicorn meteor shower to thank for the bolide that exploded over southern Wisconsin a few days ago. As reports continue to surface, it turns out that this bolide was seen by many people over a large geographical range. Though most sightings were in Wisconsin, there have been multiple reports in places like California, South Dakota, and Ontario Canada! Learn the details of the coming fast solar wind, watch the new cycle 25 bright region peek up through the coronal hole and boost solar flux back into the marginal range for radio propagation, and see what else our Sun has in store for us!

The continuously expanding solar wind begins in our Sun and doesn’t stop until after it reaches the edge of the heliosphere. NASA Science: http://science.nasa.gov/

Just as the Earth has cycles, our closest star, the Sun, has cycles of activity that we call space weather. Throughout the 11-year solar cycle, the Sun goes from a relatively quiet, spotless disk to a busy, flaring ball of plasma. If these flares are pointed at Earth, we see the effects in our GPS, radio, power grid systems, and even in high altitude or polar flights. In this talk, we will see how the Sun is a dynamic source of energy that in turn affects our planet Earth in many ways in the form of space weather. By Dr. Anthony DeStefano, NASA Marshall Flight Space Center. From the November 1, 2019 General Meeting of the Memphis Astronomical Society. Due to a microphone glitch, only 22 minutes of the talk was captured, sorry about that 🙁 http://www.MemphisAstro.org https://www.facebook.com/groups/memphisastro/ https://twitter.com/society_memphis

This episode of Space Weather News is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist This week the action is all about the Sun! Not only have we had several bright regions grace the Sun's face this past week, but one of them was a sunspot from the upcoming Solar Cycle 25. This sunspot (2750) even fired off a few low-level solar flares before receding beneath the Sun's surface. In addition, we may have yet another Solar Cycle 25 bright region on the Sun's farside as seen by STEREO. However, it will be a few days before this region rotates into Earth-view so we will just have to wait until we can take a closer look. Meanwhile, on November 11, we will have yet another treat passing across the Sun's face and that is the rare transit of Mercury! This passage will coincide with some fast solar wind hitting Earth, so field reporters at high latitudes might be enjoying Mercury's transit by day and an aurora show at night! Learn more about the transit of Mercury like when and where you can watch it, what these new bright regions are all about, and see what else our Sun has in store this week.

This Solar Storm Forecast is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist We've just barely had a chance to calm down from a G2-level solar storm due to some fast solar wind that hit a few days ago and we are already being hit by a stealthy solar storm the Sun launched back on October 25th! This stealthy storm has bumped us back to active conditions for a short while, but it should bring aurora only to high latitudes because it is magnetically oriented the wrong way to really have a significant impact Earth's magnetic shield. Nonetheless, it is helping to precondition Earth's shield and make it more sensitive to the next solar storm that is expected to hit over the next few days. This third storm will be from some fast solar wind from a southern hemisphere coronal hole and it could return us to active conditions starting around early next week. In addition to these solar storms, several bright regions are rotating into Earth view, and they are are boosting the solar flux up to marginal conditions for radio propagation (just barely). This is good news for amateur radio and emergency responders as these conditions should last over the next few days and possibly into next week as well. The only group really suffering are GPS users, as GPS reception likely isn't so great right now, especially near aurora and on Earth's night side. However, reception should slowly get better as we move through mid-next week. Learn the details of these three solar storms, how they are affecting the satellites above us, when and where to see aurora, and what to expect in radio propagation and GPS reception this week as well as what else our Sun has in store!

This Solar Storm Forecast is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist Although space weather continues to be quiet this week, the Sun has us in a clutch of suspense as we watch two coronal holes rotate ever closer to the Earth-strike zone. The first of these will send us a short burst of fast solar wind near week's end, while the other, larger coronal hole will send us a much larger burst of fast wind in about 10-12 days. This larger coronal hole has already brought us to storm levels the last two times it rotated Earthside and the hopes are it will give us yet another repeat performance. Aurora photographers should get ready for several shows, with the larger one bringing views of aurora to mid-latitudes near the end of the month. Outside of this, the Sun remains spotless, which means amateur radio operators and emergency responders are still suffering poor radio propagation on earth's dayside. However, GPS users should enjoy decent reception this week, even at low latitudes. Learn more details about the coming solar storms, catch up on aurora photographs from the last time these coronal holes were in view, and see what else our Sun has in store.

This episode of Weather News is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist A new sunspot has emerged on the Earth-facing disk and it has been firing a bunch of mini-solar flares, which could be causing just a tiny bit of noise on the dayside amateur radio bands. As of yet it hasnt launched any solar storms towards Earth, but we are watching it closely. We also have a coronal hole in the southern hemisphere that will be rotating into the Earth-strike zone within the next day or so. Aurora photographers at high latitudes might also be in for some fun as we could get sporadic aurora shows over the next few days from the coming fast solar wind. However, the chances of mid-latitude aurora is pretty fleeting. Despite this new activity, solar flux will remain in the high 60's with poor radio propagation in general on Earth's dayside and GPS reception should remain good, even at low latitudes.

This Solar Storm Forecast is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist This week it's the calm after the solar storm as our Sun settles down for a while. We have only sporadic fast solar wind expected to hit over the next few days, which should bring a light touch of aurora to high latitudes. Mid-latitudes, however, should stay reasonably quiet, with no real chance of aurora over the next few days. The few bright regions that have appeared on the Sun, have disappeared just as quickly so the solar flux remains in the mid to high 60s. This means radio propagation remains poor on Earth's dayside. In addition the quiet conditions also means radio propagation on Earth's nightside might also suffer. At least GPS reception looks to be good all week, pretty much everywhere around the globe. Learn details about the effects the G2 solar storm had last week, catch up on some amazing aurora photos from the storm, and see what else our Sun has in store!

This Solar Storm Forecast is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist Some fast solar wind is hitting Earth now along with a stealthy solar storm that launched a few days ago. Together these impacts have brought us up to G2-level solar storm conditions, and this could continue over the next few days. Unfortunately, this is the same time Hurricane Dorian is expected to make landfall! This means emergency radio responders to hurricane victims will likely need to contend with communications disruptions on the emergency HF channels now through this upcoming Tuesday. At least aurora photographers should get some decent aurora show! Learn more details about this solar storm and what else our Sun has in store.

This episode of Weather News is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist Our Sun remains quiet this week, but a promise of a solar storm is rotating into view! A familiar set of coronal holes have survived their passage on the backside of the Sun and are returning. The last time these holes crossed the Earth-strike zone they sent us some fast solar wind that caused a G1 solar storm and brought aurora deep into mid-latitudes. We will get another chance very soon to see if they can do it again! Meanwhile, solar flux remains low so radio propagation is still poor on the dayside of Earth. However, the low solar flux is contributing to decent GPS reception, even at low latitudes.

This Solar Storm Forecast is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist This week we have a set of three coronal holes rotating into the Earth-strike zone. The fast wind they send could bring aurora easily to high latitudes and possibly a few glimpses at mid-latitudes. We are already feeling the effects from the first burst of fast wind, but its pretty minor thus far. We should expect unsettled conditions with sporadic storming, especially at high latitudes over the next day or so before things will settle down a bit. The next burst of fast wind could come near week's end. Amateur radio and emergency responders are still dealing with dismal solar flux, which means radio propagation continues to be poor on Earth's dayside. With STEREO showing no signs of new bright regions on the Sun's backside, it looks like these poor radio propagation conditions will continue easily over the next week as well. At least GPS users should have excellent GPS reception, except near aurora and the dawn-dusk terminators during the solar storm. See the details of the coronal hole triple play and learn what else our Sun has in store.

Declassified Vietnam War files are showing researchers the unpredictable nature of the Sun and helping them work toward predicting the next big solar storm. » Subscribe to Seeker! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=dnewschannel » Watch more Focal Point! | https://bit.ly/2Z7LHgi Traveling at the near-speed of light, energetic particles shooting out from the Sun can zip through space, smack into our planet’s atmosphere, and cause incredible disruptions. And one of the biggest impacts we know of happened during the tail end of the Vietnam War. On this episode of Focal Point, we hear from Delores Knipp, a space weather scientist and former officer in the U.S. Air Force who uncovered a war mystery that is now connected to a major solar event. And Howard Singer, the chief scientist at the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center. In 1972, a solar flare, or solar storm, traveled at about 2,800 kilometers per second, which was seven times faster than the norm, and it carried tremendous magnetic field, and mass with it. A dozen sea mines exploded and everyone chalked it up to Vietnam warfare, but it was actually the solar flares. The bits of Sun slammed into the Earth’s magnetosphere within 15 hours and triggered the sea mines. So how much do we know about solar flares and what's the chance another event could happen again?

This episode of Weather News is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist Our Sun calms down this week as region 2745 rotates off the west limb and on to the backside. We are dealing with a slight enhancement due to some mildly fast solar wind that could bump us to active conditions over the next few days, but only at high latitudes. On a more exciting front, a returning set of coronal holes rotates into view, which could bump us to storm levels with some decent fast solar wind in about 10 days. This should give aurora photographers something to anticipate. Unfortunately, the bright regions that were sandwiched between these coronal holes have decayed severely. They will not boost the solar flux much, if at all, for amateur radio operators and emergency responders. This means radio propagation will remain poor on Earth's dayside for at least another week or (likely) more. At least the quiet Space Weather means GPS users can expect great reception on Earth's dayside and at low latitudes over the next week. Want early bird viewing of these forecasts?

This episode of Weather News is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist This week our Sun gives us one more reason to believe Solar Cycle 25 is coming! Another new cycle sunspot, this time in the southern hemisphere has not only appeared in Earth view, but it has lingered! It even managed to fire off a couple of B-class flares before going quiet. This may be the first "real" activity that can be officially assigned to the upcoming Solar Cycle 25. In addition to this great news, we also have multiple coronal holes that have (or will be) rotating in through the Earth-strike zone this week. One of them sent strong enough fast wind our way to cause aurora clear down to Wyoming. The next burst of fast wind should hit around Monday into Tuesday. As for solar flux, its in the dumper and will continue to remain in the high 60s for the remainder of the week. This means radio propagation on Earth's dayside continues to be poor for emergency responders and amateur radio operators. However, the low solar flux and low solar activity means GPS reception on the dayside of Earth will continue to be great this week. Learn more about the new cycle sunspot and see what else our star has in store this week. Want early bird viewing of these forecasts?

This Solar Storm Forecast is sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist Note: A new high latitude sunspot is emerging in the southern hemisphere now. It is likely from the upcoming solar cycle 25! If it persists, I will highlight it in my next forecast. This week, we are still riding the high of the total solar eclipse back on July 2nd as space weather picks up. Two bright regions have returned to Earth view (along with what looks to be a newly emerging sunspot in the southern hemisphere, likely from the upcoming cycle 25!) The returning bright regions are sandwiched by two coronal holes. The first has already rotated into the Earth-strike zone and is sending us a small pocket of fast solar wind. The disturbance has been extremely mild thus far and will likely bring only unsettled conditions and possibly some aurora at high latitudes. After we settle down over the next couple of days, the second coronal hole will bump activity back up around Tuesday of this next week. We could get another chance for storming and aurora at high latitudes, but only a minor chance of storming at mid-latitudes. Meanwhile, the bright regions are definitely decaying and are only boosting the solar flux slightly. This means amateur radio and emergency responders are still suffering with poor radio propagation on Earth's dayside. The only group, who should be loving life right now are GPS/GNSS users. The mild disturbance and low solar flux combine to help improve reception, especially at low latitudes so GPS users should enjoy decent reception all over. Catch up on some amazing views of our "Blackstar" during totality, see where aurora and noctilucent clouds were caught this past week, and learn what else our Sun has in store.

Our star continuously throws out streams of charged particles at more than 500 kilometers per second, something we call Solar Wind. And just like regular weather can be unpredictable and dangerous, space weather can be, too. Meanwhile, on the other side of the solar system, researchers have also been investigating a certain planet’s rings, and it's probably not the planet you're thinking of.

This episode of Space Weather News sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist Our Sun may be quiet, but Space Weather is not! This past week we had a meteor (bolide) explode over the skies near Puerto Rico in a spectacle equivalent to a 3-5 kiloton detonation! The size of this meteor was about the same as the meteor that created the new impact crater on Mars so that should give us all pause. On top of that, there is going to be a total solar eclipse over the South Pacific and South America on July 2nd. Be sure to watch your skies if you are in the region and check online, live solar telescope feeds, if you arent! If you are a radio communicator or use GPS/GNSS and are in the path of totality on July 2, you might experience some glitches in your comms or reception as the moon's shadow passes over you, so be aware. As for the weather from our star, the solar wind will likely remain disturbed over the next few days, but it should be minor. Also, some bright regions return to Earth view here in the next few days so radio propagation could bump back to the low end of marginal on Earth's dayside. Learn the details of this week's events. I have included links to the predictions of the solar corona for the eclipse from my colleagues at Predictive Science Inc. as well as links to the fantastic field reporting of the meteor blast near Puerto Rico, below.

This Solar Storm Forecast sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist Two familiar bright regions rotate back into Earth-view this week, but they arent quite as active as they were the last time we saw them. No longer classified as sunspots, nevertheless, these regions are still boosting the solar flux, which means radio propagation is back into the marginal range on Earth's dayside for emergency responders and amateur radio operators. We also have a stealthy solar storm that has launched towards Earth. Couple that with the small pockets of fast solar wind in this "coronal hole, bright region oreo cookie sandwich" and we could see unsettled to active conditions on and off throughout this whole week. Learn more about how these bright regions might affect you, catch up on aurora photos from recent solar storms, and see what else our Sun has in store!

This episode of Space Weather News sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist This week, I have gotten multiple requests to talk about the Starlink train, the first 60 satellites in the new Space X venture to bring fast, global internet to the masses. This new constellation will have many challenges to face in the future. Some of you may remember the video called the "Phone Sat Paradigm" I did 4 years ago on this very architecture (you can watch it here: https://vimeo.com/120310640 ). The video is still relevant today and it illustrates just how little we understand about these types of constellations and their susceptibility to space weather. Only time will tell how Starlink will perform. Especially as the Sun wakes up in the coming months, things promise to get interesting and I am thrilled you are here with me watching this new era unfold. Break out the popcorn. It ought to be a good show! As for the Sun, this week we are seeing old regions 2740 and 2741 returning to STEREO's view and they are still firing solar storms. This means they could still be storm producers as they rotate back into Earth view near the end of the week. We also have a small pocket of fast solar wind that is causing minor disturbances, but mainly limited to Earth's night side and to high latitudes. On top of that we also have a new region from cycle 25 that appeared momentarily on the Sun's face, but has since receded (I highlighted its appearance in this video.). This is evidence of more stirrings from the new solar cycle!

This forecast generously sponsored by: 3ric Johanson: http://www.instagram.com/scubist Our Sun dims down a bit this week as the two active regions, 2740 and 2741 rotate out of earth-view. These regions are staying active and have even fired a few solar storms on the Sun's backside. Unfortunately, this means we are back to a spotless Sun, which means poor radio propagation on Earth's dayside. These conditions will likely continue over the next week or more before things improve again. As for aurora possibilities, we do have a few small pockets of fast solar wind that will hit over the next few days that could bring unsettled and up to possibly storm conditions at high latitudes. However, aurora views are expected to be elusive, with only a small chance of views at mid-latitudes. Learn the details of the coming fast solar wind, catch up on aurora pics from last week's G1 and G3 storms, and see what else our Sun has in store!

Did you know that there are storms churning all across our solar system and beyond? Watch as we tour some of the storms in our planetary neighborhood – from supersonic winds on Venus to dust storms on Mars. Then, we bring things closer to home to take a look at how NASA studies weather on Earth.

This forecast generously sponsored by: 3ric Johanson: http://www.instagram.com/scubist The Sun gets crazy busy this week with multiple solar storms that are inbound to earth! We should feel the first of the direct hits sometime May 15 and storing should continue into May 16 and possibly through the 17th before things begin to calm down. All this rukus is due to regions 2740 and 2741 that have been firing non-sotp solar storms ever since before they even came into Earth view. Lucky for aurora photographers, they have already given us G1 and G3 level storms with aurora dipping down as far south as Wyoming and Colorado in the USA. Learn more about these regions, how they are boosting emergency and amateur radio propagation back into the marginal range, and why they could mess with your GPS reception this week!

Our Sun really wakes up this week as we not only have some fast solar wind hitting Earth now that has already brought us up to active conditions, but we also have at least 4 solar storms that were launched on the Sun's backside in less than 48 hours! Old regions 2738 and 2739 seem to be in an active region shootout to see which one can launch the biggest solar storm-- Wham! Bam! They are firing fast! As these regions rotate back into Earth view over the next few days, we will get a better look at them to see if they could possibly launch an Earth-directed solar storm once they reach the Earth-strike zone. Meanwhile, solar flux increases slowly, but as these regions rotate more into view, we could see flux rise back into the mid-70s. This means radio propagation could improve to marginal levels by week's end! Learn the details of the fast solar wind hitting now, how long aurora might last, and what these returning regions have in store for us!

Bonus Footage: I highlight the recently confirmed Mars quake detected by the seismometer (SEIS) on the Insight Lander. This bonus segment originally aired on TMRO Space News, April 24, 2019. Space Weather picks up slightly this week as a remnant coronal hole region rotates through the Earth-strike zone. Because this region is weakening under the influence of a solar minimum Sun, expect only unsettled conditions, with aurora shows limited mostly to high latitudes. Amateur radio operators should also expect poor radio propagation this week, due to our spotless Sun, but GPS users should enjoy decent signal reception, even at low latitudes. Learn the details of the coming fast solar wind, find out when we can expect solar flux to rise again, and see what else our Sun has in store this week.

Space Weather quiets down this week though we continue to get hit with sporadic pockets of fast solar wind. Activity could increase at high latitudes, with a brief chance for aurora, but expect only unsettled conditions to persist through the remainder of this week. Aurora photographers may have difficulty catching glimpses of the aurora, but luckily that isn't the only thing in the night sky worth watching. This week, Earth enters the Lyrids meteor shower, which could give us a decent show through April 25. Skywatchers will need to get out of city lights and mind the bright, full moon on the 20th and 21st to maximize chances of seeing the spectacle. Meanwhile, back on the Sun, bright region 2738 is rotating out of view so solar flux should drop back into the low 70s by early next week. This means amateur, shortwave radio, and emergency responders will notice the drop off in communications as we fall back to poor radio propagation on Earth's dayside. However, propagation on 6m due to the Lyrids might actually pick up this week! As for GPS, users should be enjoying decent reception all around the globe easily over the next few days. Learn the details of the Lyrid shower, when solar flux will drop, and what else our Sun has in store this week.

Heliophysics is the study of the Sun, and how it influences the very nature of space — and, in turn, the atmospheres of planets and the technology that exists there. Space is not, as is often believed, completely empty; instead, we live in the extended atmosphere of an active star. Our Sun sends out a steady outpouring of particles and energy -- the solar wind – as well as a constantly writhing magnetic system. This extensive, dynamic solar atmosphere surrounds the Sun, Earth, the planets, and extends far out into the solar system. Studying this system not only helps us understand fundamental information about how the universe works, but also helps protect our technology and astronauts in space. NASA seeks knowledge of near-Earth space, because -- when extreme -- space weather can interfere with our communications, satellites and power grids. The study of the Sun and space can also teach us more about how stars contribute to the habitability of planets throughout the universe. Mapping out this interconnected system requires a holistic study of the Sun’s influence on space, Earth and other planets. NASA has a fleet of spacecraft strategically placed throughout our heliosphere -- from Parker Solar Probe at the Sun observing the very start of the solar wind, to satellites around Earth, to the farthest human-made object, Voyager, which is sending back observations on interstellar space. Each mission is positioned at a critical, well-thought out vantage point to observe and understand the flow of energy and particles throughout the solar system -- all helping us untangle the effects of the star we live with.
