Multiple Solar Storms Come and an Historic Far Side Blast | Space Weather News 28 November 2024

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Activity picks up this week in a big way with a lot of eye-candy on the Earth-facing Sun and on the farside too. Two Earth-directed solar storms could impact Earth this week bringing aurora down to mid-latitudes during the holiday festivities. Although the storming isnt expected to be very strong, we are nearing a new moon so that should help the aurora stand out against the nighttime skies. But even if the aurora shows are underwhelming, there are many more storm producers on the Sun right now that could send more storms our way. Amateur radio operators and GPS should expect noise levels to continue rising on the dayside radio bands and a heightened risk of big R2-R3 level radio blackouts on the dayside over the next two weeks, thanks to some big returning regions and some new flare players rotating into Earth view. The risk for radiation storms will also begin rising again as we move into the first week of December. Learn the details of the coming solar storms, watch an historically strong event launch on the Sun’s farside, and see what else is in store.
