Richard Vaughan+FollowSun’s ‘Cannibal’ Eruption Could Supercharge AurorasThe Sun’s throwing a cosmic tantrum—multiple solar eruptions are racing toward Earth, and the fastest one might swallow the others, creating a wild “cannibal CME.” This could mean a mega geomagnetic storm, with auroras lighting up skies way farther south than usual. But heads up: satellites, power grids, and even your GPS might get a little weird. Space weather forecasters are on high alert, so if you’re into skywatching, this could be your moment! #Science #SpaceWeather #Aurora10Share
megangibson+FollowSunspot Showdown: Carrington 2.0?A massive sunspot cluster—almost as big as the infamous Carrington one—just spun into direct view, and it’s pointed right at us. Scientists are buzzing because this thing’s magnetic fields are twisted up like crazy, making it a real contender for a major solar storm. If it erupts, we could see wild auroras, satellite glitches, and even power grid drama. Basically, the Sun’s flexing, and our tech might be in for a stress test. Stay tuned! #Science #sunspot #spaceweather10Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowSolar Flare Just Turned Our Sky Radioactive?!Did you know a rare solar flare just blasted Earth with the most atmospheric radiation we’ve seen in 20 years? Scientists say it wasn’t even the biggest flare this year, but the combo of a powerful burst and a wild stream of protons made the sky extra spicy—especially for planes and satellites. Balloon probes in the UK even caught the spike live! Space weather is getting real, and our tech is getting a crash course in cosmic drama. #Science #SolarFlare #SpaceWeather70Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowEarth’s Plasma Shield Just Got WreckedDid you hear about the solar storm that basically punched a hole in Earth’s protective bubble? Scientists watched as 78% of our plasma shield got stripped away—leaving satellites and GPS totally exposed. GPS went haywire, tractors veered off course, and even planes and ships saw navigation glitches. The wildest part? The shield took days to recover, not hours. Space weather is no joke, and this storm just proved how fragile our tech really is when the Sun gets angry. #Science #SpaceWeather #SolarStorm171Share
