• Severe Solar Storm in Progress!
    Earth is currently being bombarded by a powerful G4-class geomagnetic storm, triggered by a high-velocity coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun. Traveling at over 4 million mph, this wave of solar plasma is disrupting Earth's magnetic field.

    What to Expect:

    Auroras (Northern Lights) visible as far south as Illinois, Oregon, and parts of Europe.

    Possible disruptions to GPS, radio communication, satellites, and even power grids in rare cases.

    Elevated radiation in high-altitude flights and near polar regions.

    Space weather experts at NOAA and NASA are monitoring the storm closely, with more solar ejections expected through June 3.

    If you're skywatching, this is a rare and beautiful event—but tech systems may need backup plans. Stay safe, and enjoy the view if you're in the right zone!

  • Solar storms are wreaking havoc on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites. As solar activity surges toward the peak of its 11-year cycle, Starlink’s low-Earth orbit network is facing increasing threats. These geomagnetic storms heat up Earth’s upper atmosphere, increasing drag on satellites and causing them to spiral out of orbit.

    The solar flare in early 2022 that destroyed 38 Starlink units was a wake-up call. With the next solar maximum expected in 2025, experts are warning of more frequent disruptions—not only to Starlink, but to GPS, aviation systems, and power grids as well. Space weather monitoring and adaptive satellite design are now critical priorities for global satellite networks.
