A Planetary Alignment while a Solar Storm Heads for Earth | Space Weather News 27 February 2025
This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University:
https://www.millersville.edu/swen
Solar activity has ramped up considerably over the last few days, including big solar flares, a radiation storm, and what looks like a promising Earth-directed solar storm and more to come. In particular, the Earth-directed solar storm could bring aurora just in time for the planetary alignment on February 28. Aurora photographers should be sure to check out the south-western sky just after dusk for the 'planet parade" before swiveling around to catch aurora as it rises in the east. In addition, amateur radio operators and GPS users should expect more R1 to R2-level radio blackouts due to the rise of big flares again along with a near S1-level radiation storm. These disturbances are making for a lot of noise on the radio bands. but conditions should begin to improve as we move in through the weekend. Learn the details of the coming solar storm, watch the big X-flare, and see what else our Sun has in store.
