Alright #avgeeks#spacewx peeps - tell me what I saw tonight: there were a lot of theories on Guard, but I think they’re probably wrong… This light persisted for several minutes at 08Z, near FOD, then again (fainter) about 0940Z near JAC.

Yet Another X-class Flare! #SpaceWXwww.swpc.noaa.gov/news/yet-ano...

I made it up to rural #Delaware#NorthernLights#10TV#Doppler10#OHwx#Aurora#Ohio#SpaceWX

Mom sent me this pic of the aurora from her yard in… Hilton Head Island, SC! #SpaceWX#SCwx

Reached G5 earlier this evening 🙃 #SpaceWX

Latest observed space weather: G4 (Severe)! www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/g4-cond...#SpaceWX

ICYMI, the NWS Space Weather Prediction Center has issued the first G4 (Severe) geomagnetic watch since 2005. Depending on cloud cover, tonight's aurora on 10 May 2024 may become visible over much of the northern half of the country, and maybe as far south as AL to northern CA. #kywx#spacewx

Large sunspot groups and strong solar flares directed at Earth has led to the issuance of the first G4 Watch since 2005 by the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). #spacewx

This is a nice primer on the dangers of a solar storm, though I think it underplays how catastrophic a big event would be to the planet. Gift link: wapo.st/3UQp1R4#SpaceWX

Opinion | The next global crisis could come from the sun. We should prepare now.

Solar storms aren’t the apocalypse, but they pose a real threat. Here’s how to manage it.
