Another coronal mass ejection from the sun could make the Northern Lights visible again over parts of New England on Friday evening. Even if the aurora’s geomagnetic glow doesn’t light up the sky over Massachusetts, there’s still a spectacular chance to see another solar phenomenon. Three weeks ago, a solar storm erupted from a huge … Read more

Earth is expected to be hit by a powerful three-day solar storm today that could cause “fluctuations in the power grid,” experts warn. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) noted that the geomagnetic storm, which is a major disruption of Earth’s magnetosphere, could disrupt the orbits of satellites, cause radio blackouts and create incredible … Read more

Our solar system is a pretty busy place. There are millions of objects moving around – from planets to moons, to comets and asteroids. And every year we discover more and more objects (usually small asteroids or fast comets) calling the solar system home. Astronomers had found all eight of the major planets by 1846. … Read more
New research indicates that the Sun’s magnetic field originates much closer to the surface than previously thought, a finding that could help predict periods of extreme solar storms like the one struck the earth earlier this month. It appears that the magnetic field originates 20,000 miles below the surface of the sun. Previous calculations placed … Read more
