🌞 📰 Sun news for January 21, 2024: CME on its way. Aurora expected! 😱 The coronal mass ejection (CME) from yesterday’s on-disk filament eruption is on its way to Earth. The CME may have several parts spreading out the impact from mid- to late-January 22. Aurora is expected from the impact late January 22 into early January 23 from geomagnetic storms expected to start late January 22. NASA is estimating G1 to G2 geomagnetic storms, while NOAA currently estimates a G1 storm. 🤩 Both expect the

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from this week's high sun activity impacted Earth's magnetic field last night, bringing strong geomagnetic storming. This painted the skies with auroras, visible even under the bright glare of 2025's brightest moon. And with more major eruptions in the past 24 hours, more auroras are expected in the coming days.
