A Direct Hit! The impressive #solarstorm launched in the Earth-strike zone has been modeled by NASA. The storm is predicted to hit Earth by midday December 1. Along with two earlier storms already ...
The gamma-ray burst was ten minutes long, [1] but was detectable for more than ten hours following initial detection. [2] [3] Despite being around 2.4 billion light-years away, it was powerful enough to affect Earth's atmosphere, having the strongest effect ever recorded by a gamma-ray burst on the planet.
The flares seem to be associated with a sunspot that’s 16 times the diameter of Earth, NOAA said. It is all part of the solar activity ramping up as the sun approaches the peak of its 11-year cycle.
This is the third geomagnetic storm to reach G4 status during the current 11-year solar cycle, which began in 2019, officials said.
Live Free or Die Hard (released as Die Hard 4.0 outside North America) is a 2007 American action thriller film directed by Len Wiseman, and serves as the fourth installment in the Die Hard film series.

A minor CME from an M1 flare was predicted to hit the day earlier, but the timing and intensity were unexpected. [51] Later, on 23 and 24 April, more G4 storms hit Earth, on the former day being tied with several days in solar cycle 24 for the strongest storm since 2005. [52] Auroras were visible as far south as San Antonio, Texas. [53]
NOAA's GOES-East weather satellite captured the annular "ring of fire" solar eclipse from space, as the moon cast a large shadow over Earth's surface. Vivid satellite footage shows solar eclipse ...
The solar storms of May 2024 (also known as 2024 Mother's Day solar storm [1] or Gannon storm in memory of Jennifer Gannon, [2] a space weather physicist [3]) were a series of powerful solar storms with extreme solar flares and geomagnetic storm components that occurred from 10–13 May 2024 during solar cycle 25.
