AI Thread Summary
For aurora forecasts, spaceweather.com and spaceweatherlive.com are recommended as reliable sources that provide comprehensive information on solar activity and auroras. Users can subscribe for live notifications regarding auroras and solar magnetic storms. A specific NOAA page offers a detailed aurora forecast for the Northern Hemisphere. Current solar activity includes an approaching coronal mass ejection (CME) expected to cause geomagnetic storms and enhance aurora visibility. These resources are valuable for anyone interested in tracking aurora activity globally.

I understand that we are at a peak of aurora activity, so I'd like to see a forecast like one would see at a weather website, and for the entire globe.

Astronomy news on Phys.org
Try spaceweather.com (https://spaceweather.com ) . It informs about all solar activity events & spaceweather, including auroras of course. Also, you could subscribe for live notifications for auroras & solar magnetic storms.
Also there's spaceweatherlive.com (https://spaceweatherlive.com ) .
Finally, there's a thread here on PF: Solar Activity and Space Weather Update thread (e.g. latest post: https://www.physicsforums.com/threa...ace-weather-update-thread.923468/post-6881973 )

"HERE COMES ANOTHER CME: An approaching CME is peppering Earth's atmosphere with energetic particles, causing an S1-class solar radiation storm and a polar radio blackout. The CME itself will reach Earth on May 10th, bringing a chance of geomagnetic storms and auroras. [Possibly moderate (G2) to Strong (G3) geomagnetic storms ...]"

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
