SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM PREDICTED: A CME is approaching Earth, and it could cause a severe (G4-class) geomagnetic storm when it arrives during the early UTC hours of Jan. 20th. For sky watchers in North America, this means the night of Jan. 19-20. Widespread auroras are possible if the storm...

Significant X-class Solar Flare and CME, yesterday ... (coming straight on us! ...) Space Weather News for Jan. 18, 2026 X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE! A full-halo CME is heading for Earth following a long-duration X1.9-class solar flare on Jan. 18th. The CME's arrival on Jan. 20th could spark strong...

" WEAK IMPACT FAILS TO PRODUCE A STRONG STORM: As predicted, a coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on Dec. 9th. However, the impact was much weaker than expected, so there was no strong geomagnetic storm. Minor G1-class storms are possible on Dec. 10th as Earth moves through...

A SOLAR STORM IS HEADING DIRECTLY FOR EARTH: Strong G3-class geomagnetic storms are possible on Dec. 9th when a full-halo CME is expected to strike our planet. The storm cloud was hurled in our direction on Dec. 6th by an almost-X-class solar flare. Above: This M8-class solar flare on...

Thanks for your reply, and I'm glad things are taking their course. I've heard similar stories, though I cannot say that I have a full opinion e.g. regarding the arXiv case etc. . In any case, I think persistency is required, balanced with your dedication on the subject and good collaborations...

hahaha ... point taken

I would focuss too on preliminary discussions, first, perhaps before you even made any other attempts; the/your first goal, in my opinion, would/should be (and I think you agree) to first establish whether what you're trying to do is even possible, meaningful (i.e. if it makes sense, e.g. in...

Partially Arbitrary assumptions and/or conclusions ... [and perhaps unnecessary "attack" on the OP ...]

On Nov. 11, the storm reached severe G4 level, with Kp 8.67, and on Nov. 12, G2/G3, with Kp 7.33. Auroras were seen as south as [record breaking (?)] 13 degrees (e.g. El Salvador) ..., and the events these past days (including the ground event) were almost comparable to the May 11 & 12, 2024...

Nov. 12, 2025 THE STORM IS NOT OVER: Last night, auroras spread across the Americas as far south as El Salvador during a severe geomagnetic storm. The lights were seen in at least 45 US states. It could happen again tonight if another CME arrives, as expected. NOAA predicts more severe storming...

STRONG GEOMAGNETIC STORMS PREDICTED: Solar activity is suddenly high with multiple X-class and strong M-class solar flares since Monday. At least three CMEs are expected to graze or directly hit Earth this week, potentially sparking strong geomagnetic storms on Nov. 6-7. Above: An...

Space Weather news for Wed Oct. 15, 2025 Multiple CMEs Could Spark Auroras This Week MULTIPLE CMEs ARE APPROACHING EARTH: As many as 3 CMEs are approaching Earth. According to a NOAA model, they could spark G2-class geomagnetic storms when they arrive on Oct. 16-17. High-latitude sky watchers...

For Sept. 15, 2025 STRONG EQUINOX STORM: Last night, a strong geomagnetic storm pushed auroras deep into the USA, with sightings as far south as Colorado and Arizona. This was an "equinox storm" enhanced by the Russell-McPherron effect. It won't be the last one. The season for such storms runs...

For Th Sept 11, 2025 GIANT BUTTERFLY-SHAPED HOLE IN THE SUN'S ATMOSPHERE: A 500,000-km wide coronal hole has opened in the sun’s atmosphere, sending a stream of solar wind toward Earth. It could spark G1–G2 geomagnetic storms and auroras around Sept. 14th, enhanced by the Russell-McPherron...
