"Bradley Cooper is starring in a major Hollywood film about January 6th directed by Sean Penn. The officers who were beaten that day are going to have their stories told to millions of people. Justice cmes in many forms. This is one of them."

Check out this cool video from NASA's Parker Solar Probe showing a series of CMEs leaving the Sun around Christmas 2024. This is Parker's closest approach to the Sun ever in its multi-year mission.

Similarly, massive CMEs produce different effects at Earth. Their physical size, width, density, angle of approach, orientation, and duration, all play a major role in what level of geomagnetic storm we experience. Big CMEs can have small impacts, and small CMEs big impacts!

Looks like that fast CME is here already, about 2.5 hours before our predicted window.
Funnily enough, we've *just* worked out why fast CMEs are often earlier than predicted and will be rolling this into the forecast soon!

I usually pay less attention to the northern lights forecast during midnight sun season here in Iceland but this storm is too big not to announce 🤩
A trio of CMEs were produced yesterday by several X-class flares. A G3 geomagnetic storm watch has been issued for tonight.

The last 24 hours on the Sun has been full of excitement, and more is in store! Check out all these prominence eruptions and CMEs launching off the limbs. There were a few M-flares from Earth-facing active regions as well, but no notable CMEs directed our way.

Hello! Do you like lights in the sky? Well you might have a chance to see some.
NOAA has issued a G2 geomagnetic storm watch as 7 potential CMEs hurdle towards earth. Some predictions cited one should have arrived by now but not here (yet).
Keep an eye on forecasts!

Wow! Here is the NOAA SWPC model for the two CMEs currently heading for Earth. This model has the two CMEs interacting and mounting for a 1-2 punch right near Earth with a combined impact time of around Nov 11, 22 UT +/- 7 hr.

‘How can a moderate flare cause a severe geomagnetic storm?’: The idea that big flare = big CME = big geomagnetic storm is a major misunderstanding in space weather. Large flares can produce weak, or no CMEs at all. Big CMEs can be triggered by small, or even no flares.

Beautiful M8.4 flare and CME today. This active region 4114 is growing in magnetic complexity and size, and further M-class flares or even an X-class flare are all possible in the coming days. Future CMEs will have a good chance of being geoeffective.

Doctors, please, for the love of science and CMEs, learn about perimenopause. I shouldn’t have to explain it to every single doctor I see.

Here is the HUXt model visualization of all the CMEs currently being tracked. The Sun is at the center. The Earth is the black dot to the right. There are two CME direct hits in the M8.1+M1.1 and M2.4 (assuming the CMEs combine) CME, and there is one glancing blow in the X1.1 CME.

More CMEs are going to hit Earth tomorrow so if it’s cloudy where you are tonight, you may still have a chance to see the Northern Lights tomorrow!

Multiple flares are now ongoing from around AR 4191 (C9.1) and our incoming active region on the Sun's eastern limb (M1.9 from ex AR 4170).
We are about to have some Chatty Cathy's on the Earth-facing disk. Let's get some CMEs, now!

Incredible CME, maybe superstorm on the Sun’s far side today—measuring over 3000 km/s, it will truly go down as one of the fastest CMEs ever measured. Had this been directed toward Earth, it probably would have arrived in just 14-16 hours. Most CMEs usually take around 3 days to get to Earth.

Fast CME this morning from farside active regions. I love when you can see the clear shock/bright front in coronagraphs. Btw.. none of these CMEs have been "Carrington"-class eruptions although I have seen some posts claiming so. These CMEs are a bit fast but not extraordinary.

Heads up. There are low chances of two weak CMEs impacting Earth within the next 24 hours. Here is the forecast from the HUXt model. If these CMEs impact, we may see elevated geomagnetic conditions, potentially increasing to the G1/Kp 5 minor storm level.

We had a few M-flares yesterday. They were from AR 4203 on the west limb with no associated CMEs or impacts to Earth affecting auroral visibility... just some eye candy.

In the HUXt model, there are two CMEs forecasted to impact Earth sometime between October 6-8. Exact impact time is not worth mentioning since the CMEs are hard to track and may accelerate, interact with one another or other solar wind structures, etc. Let’s watch this.
