Powerful solar storms in May and October painted auroras across large parts of North America. But some U.S. farmers also ...

Space hurricanes, unlike typical geomagnetic disturbances, are stealthy threats to satellite systems, forming even when the ...

At these distances, the satellites remain within Earth’s protective magnetic shield and can reliably measure the planet’s ...

NASA launches satellites to learn more about magnetic reconnection, which will help better predict geomagnetic storms.

The geomagnetic storm that sent auroras ranging from Canada to the Netherlands in May 2024 was the first to reach Kp9 since 2003 — and this strength also played a part in it being the first of ...

A geomagnetic storm that's now hurtling into the Earth has been classified as "extreme," or a G5 storm, the highest level, the Space Weather Prediction Center said Friday evening.

The National Weather Service issued a rare watch for a “severe” geomagnetic storm. It could have an impact on satellites, the power grid, and other critical infrastructure.

The geomagnetic activity is also monitored on the Kp index scale, which ranges from zero to nine. The University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute is measuring Sunday’s storm at level six.

A geomagnetic storm recently caused a massive disturbance to the Earth's atmosphere, notably giving people the chance to be able to see the aurora borealis, or northern lights, much further south ...

The strength of the geomagnetic storm will impact how far south the northern lights will be visible. To signify the strength of geomagnetic storms, the SWPC uses a 5-point scale.

A major geomagnetic storm occurred in May 2024, bringing the aurora to most of the country. Unfortunately, many in the region experienced cloudy nights. How can I see the northern lights tonight?
