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

Scientists are keeping a close eye on the sun, and you might be surprised to learn that even if we've passed the peak of ...

Researchers have provided some new insights about the powerful geomagnetic storm that flared up last Mother's Day, after a ...

But there have been warnings from forecasters with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center about another storm brewing: a severe geomagnetic storm.

Much of the Upper Midwest is within Sunday night’s viewing range, including North Dakota, parts of Montana, northern ...

Two NASA satellites rocketed into orbit from California aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket Wednesday, commencing a $170 million ...

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 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 ...

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.

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?

A geomagnetic storm is a major disturbance of Earth's magnetosphere, the region of space surrounding Earth where the dominant magnetic field is the magnetic field of Earth, rather than the ...
