This is the image of our sun on Saturday, May 31. According to Dr. Tabitha Skov, we might be treated to some Aurora Lights in Colorado.
I was out early today at 2 a.m. and was not so lucky. Most reports indicate we will get a three-hit wave, and a few lucky photographers saw the first energy spikes last night. Witness the magic in your nearest park or Dark Sky certified area. I think Visit Estes Park and their Observatory are great spots. I could go towards Evergreen or Georgetown, Colorado, and go up Guanella Pass.

We will not know the true nature of the CME structure until it arrives at our solar wind observatories located 1 million miles from Earth. Meanwhile, these Watches represent our best assessment based on potential. When the CME arrives, it is at that point, SWPC forecasters can make determinations about warnings. Please continue to visit spaceweather.gov for the latest information and updates.

I am learning and going out and doing some field work over in Arizona. I just got back from a short trip to Phoenix.

Arizona’s dark sky cities are turning the state into a top astrotourism destination. Valley 101 explores why visitors prefer traveling here after dark

An unexpected storm hit Earth early this morning, catching forecasters off guard. It measured G2 (moderate) on NOAA space weather scales. A glancing blow from a giant burp of sun-stuff known as a coronal mass ejection (CME) triggered the storm. A stunning magnetic filament eruption in the ’s northern hemisphere launched the CME from the sun on May 12. At first expected to miss Earth, the CME delivered a surprising blow to Earth's magnetic field, elevating geomagnetic activity and causing in Earth's high-latitude regions.

Our planet is absolutely teeming with life. From nearly a mile below our feet, where microbes persist in a sunless world, to microorganisms on droplets of water in the air above our heads, the existence of life has profoundly shaped our . In Becoming Earth by Ferris Jabr, the author divides the book into 3 sections to explore life found in rock, water and air. We travel underground with Jabr into Homestake Mine in South Dakota to Wrangel Island in Siberia to a tower high above the Amazonian rainforest and beyond.
