Tapping the XKCD sign again to explain that no, I won't be seeing an aurora tonight. Or at least I really hope not. That would be bad. :)

The aurora came back and moved!

There’s a heart-shaped feature in the Sun’s corona - seen in a recent SDO’s A193 filtered image, which captures the hot solar atmosphere.
❤️☀️
The Sun’s sending its love to Earth … cause nothing says love like an X-class flares and series of proton showers! 😅

Faint pink aurora out near Baltimore, MD! Taken by my iPhone 13. If you’re able to safely look north and take a photo! After, please report on aurorasaurus.org #heliophysics

I hope you didn’t jinx it! 🤞
This looks like it could be a big one! Look to the skies this evening.... But now that I've said that, I've jinxed it.
CME impact detected - Current Solar Wind Speed 624km/sec - IMF: Bt (strength): 39nT & Bz: -31nT (South).

Here is a view of today’s eruption from the Sun, currently en route to Earth. You can see a full ‘halo’ in the data, indicating the plasma is coming our way. You can also see the ‘fuzzy snow’ in the images, caused by particles from the solar flare hitting the camera!

A very energetic X5 solar flare occured hours ago from AR 4274. This is the sixth strongest flare of the current solar cycle. A fast, full-halo CME has left the Sun and will probably hit Earth in a couple days. This week could see some fairly intense geomagnetic storming...

Finally out! The outcome of a virtual workshop in Feb 2024 with modelers and observationalists to put together data and protocols to include historical changes in ice sheet/ice shelf discharge in CMIP models. Hopefully not too late for some CMIP7 runs!

Abstract. Anomalous freshwater fluxes from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves are impacting the surrounding oceans, and we need to be able to account for these effects in climate m...

Here’s hoping! 🤞
If NOAA SWPC's CME model is correct, we may get hit by a pretty fast solar storm Thursday night. Impact speed is almost 800 km/s.
Currently, there is a G3/Strong Storm watch for Thursday and Friday, and depending on what we see at Earth, auroral displays may be seen further equatorward than usual.

Finally some X class flares!
Two X-Flares today so far. X1.8 around AR 4274 in the northeast quadrant and just now, an X1.1 from behind the southeast limb. SolarHam.com

Beautiful!

The last 10 days of CME activity - what a show! Now, let's keep this same energy on the Earth-facing disk! AR 4246, AR 4248, and maybe some other fiesty active regions will be rotating into our view within the next few days.

16 days of coronal mass ejections - most of them far sided - some of them very fast and very large. We'll see if the Sun continues like this…
