The activity keeps on coming! Just as we settle down from a G4-level solar storm, a new Earth-directed solar storm is launched. This one is moving much more slowly and wont pack as big a punch, but it still could give us some decent aurora views, especially at high latitudes. On top of that, we have some new regions rotating into Earth-view over the next few days that promise to be big-flare players and solar storm producers. This means amateur radio operators and GPS users will need to work a bit harder this week because there continues to be a lot of noise on the dayside radio bands. Learn the details of the coming solar storm, watch the complex new regions emerging on the Sun's far side, and see what else our star has in store.

For those who watch the 10 o'clock news but can't seem to watch a you tube, Sunday night there is a good chance for aurora at mid latitudes. :tiphat:

Figures. Supposed to be cloudy. And it will probably the first time the forecasts have been correct in over a year.
