SPACE WEATHER

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. Learn the details of the new active region, what to expect with the coming fast solar wind, and see what else the Sun has in store. Want early access to these forecasts and more?

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.

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.

UPDATE: Part of the filament I talk about did erupt after I posted this video! We could have a part-Earth directed solar storm coming by the end of this week! Check my twitter feed for the latest on arrival time! Original Video Description: This week we are coming down from a solar storm from some fast solar wind, but that doesn't mean the fun is over! We have two fast-growing sunspots on the Earth-facing Sun and they are sandwiching a filament that is growing more unstable by the day. If this filament erupts within the next day or so, we could have an Earth-directed solar storm! We are keeping a close watch on this to be sure. Also, one of the new sunspots may be showing signs of an influence of solar cycle 25. Just like the previous rogue sunspot we saw a few weeks ago, this new region has a dominant magnetic signature that runs north-south instead of east-west. Its too early to tell what the final polarity of this region will be, but if it continues this way, it will be yet another signal that solar cycle 25 is closer than we think! Learn the details of this filament sandwich, get the scoop on the two new sunspots that may cause its launch, and see what else our Sun has in store for us this week!

Space Weather picks up this week as we await some fast solar wind from a coronal hole to hit Earth. We have already felt the effects from two mini-solarstorms that have hit Earth over the past couple of days, bringing aurora as far south as Michigan and as far north as New Zealand. This storm isn't expected to be very strong but it could bring aurora down to mid-latitudes again for a short while. If the storm is weak, however, it could serve to give amateur and shortwave radio propagation a much needed boost, especially on Earth's nightside. Now that rogue sunspot 2734 has rotated to the Sun's backside, we are again staring at a spotless Sun, which means GPS reception should be good, but radio propagation on Earth's dayside could drop back into poor conditions by the weekend. Learn the details of this coming solar storm, catch up on aurora photos from recent solar storms, and see what else our Sun has in store this week.

A big coronal hole is rotating through the Earth-strike zone over the next few days, sending us some fast solar wind that could bring us more aurora. Along with that, the Sun launches a solar storm (a rarity during solar minimum) that could arrive around the same time as the fast solar wind. The bulk of the storm will likely miss Earth, but we could get some wake effects that could intensify the storming starting around the 28th, possibly bringing aurora down to mid-latitudes for a short while. Amateur radio propagation and GPS reception will be affected, especially on Earth's night side starting on the 27th and could last through the first few days in March. Learn the details of the coming solar storm, where and when to see aurora, and how else our Sun might affect you this week.

Munazza Alam, Graduate Student, Harvard University In the past two decades, we have discovered thousands of planets outside of the Solar System, many of which are nothing like our own. We can learn a great deal about the properties of these planets if we observe them when they pass in front of (transit) their host stars. During transit, a small fraction of starlight filters through the planet's atmosphere. By precisely measuring the spectrum of this filtered starlight, we can learn about the makeup of the planet's atmosphere. Observing planets with this technique allows us to understand the composition of their atmospheres as well as how they formed and evolved. Munazza Alam uses data from the Hubble Space Telescope to detect and characterize the atmospheres of hot, giant planets. With extremely large telescopes like the Giant Magellan Telescope coming online in the next decade, we will be able to measure the atmospheres of smaller, cooler planets in the search of Earth-like planets elsewhere in the universe.

We are finally beginning to quiet down after exiting an extended source of sporadic fast solar wind hitting Earth over the past ten days. We may still see some storming at high latitudes, including a possibility of more aurora. However, there is only a slim chance of aurora dropping down to mid-latitudes this week. Overall, things should begin to quiet down through week's end. But we wont rest for long as another chance for a solar storm is on the horizon. Also, amateur radio and shortwave emergency responders hang on to the low end of marginal for radio propagation this week, but a new bright region will rotate into Earth view in the next few days. This new light should bump solar flux back into the mid-70s by next week, which means dayside radio propagation should improve. Luckily, this region is not a big flare producer so GPS reception should remain good on Earth's dayside. Catch up on some of the aurora photos from recent solar storms with our guest host, Kelley Filby, learn what the backside Sun reveals about the active region (old region 2733) returning into Earth view, and see what else our Sun has in store for us this week.

Although the Sun has quieted down this week , we have another chance for a solar storm coming. A pocket of fast solar wind will hit Earth over the next couple of days from a small well-formed coronal hole region crossing the Earth-strike zone. The fast wind wont last long, but it will likely bump us up to storm levels at high latitudes, bringing aurora that could possibly reach down to mid-latitudes momentarily before the storm wanes. In addition, a bright region on the Earth-facing Sun has kept the solar flux up into the marginal range for radio propagation for amateur radio operators and emergency responders, but it is not a source for any big flares or radio blackouts. This means GPS users should enjoy excellent GPS reception on Earth's day side. Learn the details of the coming solar storm and see what else our Sun has in store this week!

This week the Sun comes out of hibernation with a fast growing active region and a large coronal hole rotating into Earth view. Although the region (2733) never launched any Earth-directed solar storms, it nevertheless fired off a few C-class flares that no doubt made the HF radio bands a bit noisy. The flares may have also made GPS a bit glitchy around the dawn-dusk terminators. However, this bright active region has also boosted the solar flux back into the marginal range for radio propagation. As we say goodbye to region 2733 as it rotates to the Sun's backside, we say hello to the large coronal hole that is starting to rotate into the Earth-strike zone. Aurora photographers, especially at high latitudes should get a great show over the next few days, possibly in through the weekend. Photographers at mid-latitudes, may not be quite as lucky, but there might be a chance for some sporadic aurora starting late Thursday and into Friday. Learn the details of the activity this week, catch up on aurora photos from recent solar storming, and see what else our Sun has in store.

The Earth-side of the Sun has been reasonably quiet, but the backside has been busy! Luckily some of that activity is rotating to the front side of the Sun this week. A coronal hole that has sent us solar storms in the past is returning and we will get a better look at it over this next week. With any luck, it might still be a solar storm producer! Also rotating into view this week are some bright regions, which will help boost the solar flux and keep radio propagation in the marginal range. See details of what is coming, when we might see aurora again, and catch a glimpse into the world of Parker Solar Probe as I interview Project Scientist, Nour Raouafi, on what the early results are showing and how they will impact our understanding of the Sun, its corona, and the solar wind! We even discuss the health and longevity of the spacecraft and whether or not an extended mission is possible!

READ THIS FIRST: Life, as it has been doing recently, has thrown me another curve ball. My laptop charger unceremoniously died last night, without warning. It happened while I was finishing my charts for today's mini-course. As fate would have it, I did not notice my battery draining until it was about to shut off. I furiously tried to transfer my materials onto a flash drive before the computer winked out, to no avail. My laptop powered down during the transfer. While I sat there staring at my dead computer and no way to fix the issue before my mini-course, I had no idea what to do. I thought about cancelling, but thats never an ideal solution. So, what I came up with is having a "Freeform LIVE Q&A" today, during which I will answer whatever questions you all throw at me. I will not have any formal charts prepared (all of my prior Q&A charts are still on my dead computer so I can't pull them up either). However, I will go through a quick forecast of the Sun today that I am hoping will jump start some dialogue. Also, I can go over some of the AMS highlights in a bit more detail as well. As for the "Coronal Mass Ejections and Aliens" Mini-Course, I want to reschedule that one for a week or two down the road-- essentially as soon as my new macbook charger arrives. I ordered it online and it should be here in about a week to 10 days. Hopefully, you all are up to having two mini-courses back to back? When life gives you lemons....

Our Sun is ringing in the New Year by giving us a shot at another solar storm. A triangle-shaped coronal hole is rotating into the Earth-strike zone and it promises to send us sporadic bursts of fast solar wind that could last through the end of the week. This means we could get another chance for aurora down to mid-latitudes. If that isn't enough, a new bright region has emerged on the Earth-facing Sun over the past couple of days and it has been firing some mini-solar flares. Although this region isn't a big flare producer, it has been boosting the solar flux, which has brought radio propagation is back into the marginal range on Earth's dayside. Learn how long these solar flux conditions are going to last, when we can expect the coming solar storm to hit, and whether or not GPS reception will be impacted by the Sun's activity this week.

Our Sun decides to celebrate New Years early this week with some fast wind from a familiar coronal hole that has brought us multiple solar storms in past months. True to form, it has bumped us up to solar storm conditions and has brought aurora down to mid-latitudes in several parts of the world. Storm effects including aurora views should continue over the next few days and at high latitudes, possibly into the new year before things quiet down. Despite the Sun being spotless, we do have a bright region lighting up the Earth-facing Sun this week. It has been enough to keep the solar flux near the low end of marginal for radio propagation on Earth's day side and will continue to do so over this next week. Learn the details of the ongoing solar storm, how it is affecting GPS, amateur, and shortwave radio on Earth's night side, catch up on aurora photos from the storm thus far, and see what else our Sun has in store this week!

This week we deal with more unsettled conditions as the Sun gives us a mixed bag of fast and slow solar wind streams. This means more sporadic aurora shows at high latitudes until things calm down briefly at the beginning of next week. Though the Sun is technically spotless, we have a few bright regions in Earth view that are boosting the solar flux and keeping radio propagation in the marginal range. These conditions should continue for the next few days before region 2731 dims further and rotates to the Sun's backside. Learn more about the coming pockets of fast wind, hear what bright regions are lurking on the Sun's backside, and what chances we have for aurora this week.

The fast solar wind we have been enjoying over the past week from an extended coronal hole is finally beginning to wane. We will likely remain at unsettled conditions over the next few days and return to quieter conditions by the end of the week. We also have 3 new bright active regions on the Earth facing Sun that are boosting solar flux for amateur and shortwave radio operators and emergency responders. This means radio propagation is back to marginal levels on Earth's day side and will likely remain that way over the next week. See the details of these bright regions, catch up on aurora photos from the recent solar storms, and see what else our Sun has in store this week!

The Sun quiets down this week while we wait get a good look at a returning coronal hole that could bring us another chance for a solar storm from some fast wind. Meanwhile, we will likely stay at unsettled conditions as we feel the influence from a southern coronal hole followed by another small hole that will rotate into the Earth-strike zone in the next few days. Learn more about the gentle reprieve we get this week and see why amateur and shortwave radio operators are groaning while GPS users cheer.
