James Wright III+FollowNorthern lights might crash the weekend 🌌A solar storm is brewing—and it might bring the Northern Lights way further south than usual. NOAA issued a G2 storm alert for June 14, meaning aurora could be visible as far south as New York in the US and parts of the UK too. Want a shot at that glow-up sky? 1. Check NOAA or an aurora app for timing. 2. Find dark skies (hard with the solstice!). 3. Pray for no clouds or smoke. 4. Face north, obviously. I’m charging my camera just in case. You? #NorthernLights #AuroraWatch #SolarStorm #Entertainment #Painting561Share
Tamara Jones+FollowThe Sun Just Punched a Hole—Aurora Incoming!A massive hole just ripped open in the Sun, blasting Earth with a solar wind that’s about to spark a geomagnetic storm (G2 level, so nothing to panic about). Translation: we’re in for some wild auroras, possibly visible way farther south than usual! If you’re anywhere near 55° latitude, keep your eyes peeled for those epic northern lights. Short nights might make it tricky, but this solar show is worth staying up for. Who’s ready for some sky fireworks? #AuroraAlert #SolarStorm #NorthernLights #Science181Share
Alexandria Simmons+FollowSun Tantrums Could Mess With Your GPSDid you know the sun just threw a magnetic tantrum that NASA caught on camera? The Parker Solar Probe got up close and personal with the sun’s atmosphere and found a wild burst of energy flinging plasma back at the sun—totally not what scientists expected! Why care? These solar outbursts can fry satellites, mess with your GPS, and even cost farmers millions. The more we learn, the better we can dodge tech headaches when the sun acts up. Space weather isn’t just for astronauts! #SpaceWeather #SolarStorm #LifeHacks60Share
Michael Flores+FollowThe Sun Grew a Giant Screaming Face?!Did you see this? The Sun literally looks like it’s screaming right now—a massive mouth-shaped coronal hole (as wide as FIVE Jupiters!) is blasting solar wind toward us. It’s not dangerous, but it’s wild to see: two giant 'eyes' and a gaping 'mouth' showing up in ultraviolet images. Scientists say it’s normal, but after that recent crazy aurora, who knows what’s next? The Sun’s definitely putting on a show this year! #SpaceWeather #SolarStorm #SunFacts #Science00Share
James Brady+FollowNorthern Lights Alert: Look Up Tonight!Did you hear? The northern lights might be making a surprise appearance in parts of the U.S. tonight thanks to another solar storm! If you’re in Alaska, the northern Midwest, or even upstate New York, you could catch the aurora—especially if you’re away from city lights. The sun’s been extra active lately, so these wild light shows could keep popping up. Pro tip: Use your phone’s camera to spot colors you can’t see with your eyes! #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis #SolarStorm #Science19011Share
Michelle York+FollowAuroras Lit Up the Sky Everywhere!Did you catch last night’s insane aurora show? A massive solar storm hit Earth and the northern lights went wild—people from Kansas to California, even Tasmania and New Zealand, snapped unreal pics. Some saw red and pink skies, others got glowing pillars right from their backyard. Even folks on a plane got front-row seats! If you missed it, check out the epic shots—your phone could’ve totally captured it. Fingers crossed for another round tonight! #AuroraBorealis #NorthernLights #SolarStorm #Science310Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowNorthern Lights Might Hit Your Backyard!Major aurora alert! The northern lights could be visible WAY farther south than usual—think Carolinas, Oklahoma, maybe even Alabama. A massive solar flare is sending charged particles our way, setting up the biggest light show of 2024. If you’re north, you might see wild green, red, or even purple skies. Pro tip: Find a dark spot away from city lights, and if you can’t see it with your eyes, try snapping a long-exposure photo. Fingers crossed for clear skies! #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis #SolarStorm #Science1238Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowSolar Storm Could Mess With Power & SatellitesA massive solar storm is barreling toward Earth this Sunday, and it’s not just an astronomy nerd thing—NOAA says it could actually mess with satellites and even the power grid! Scientists are on alert, and FEMA’s been notified just in case. Bonus: If you’re lucky, you might catch the northern lights way farther south than usual. Fingers crossed for pretty skies, not blackouts! #SolarStorm #Aurora #SpaceWeather #Science90Share
James Brady+FollowSolar Storms Could Fry the Internet?!Did you know a massive solar storm could literally knock out the internet, power grids, and even railways for weeks? Scientists just ran a wild emergency drill and, uh, it didn’t go great. Turns out, we’re way less prepared for a ‘solar superstorm’ than we thought. Imagine blackouts, gas price spikes, and total chaos—all from a sun tantrum. The experts say we need to step up our space weather game ASAP. Wild times! #SolarStorm #InternetApocalypse #BlackoutWarning #ScienceNews #SpaceWeather #Science20Share
Tamara Jones+FollowSolar Storm Could Trigger Blackouts SoonSolar storm alert! Scientists just ran a doomsday drill for a massive solar flare, and the results are wild: blackouts, travel chaos, and even internet outages across the US. Power grids, trains, and pipelines could all go down if a real solar superstorm hits. NASA says a powerful flare is heading our way this week—so we might actually see this play out. Bonus: some states could get epic northern lights! Stay tuned and charge your devices just in case. #SolarStorm #BlackoutAlert #SpaceWeather #NorthernLights #TechDisaster #Science270114Share
