The National Oceanic and Atmospheric (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) has issued a geomagnetic storm warning for July 30 through August 1 due to intense solar activity. If the forecasted G3 conditions materialise, auroras may be visible across mid-latitudes around 50°. NOAA SPWC reports that previous geomagnetic storms of this intensity have triggered auroras … Read more
In a pre-print paper published on arXiv on June 12, researchers reported that during the intense four-day solar storm in May, satellites and space debris in low Earth orbit experienced a significant drop in altitude, sinking towards Earth at a rate of 590 feet (180 meters) per day. This sudden change in altitude forced thousands … Read more
