Due to #SpaceWeather #Spacewx #SolarStorm I rolled Snake Eyes for this morning's #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #POTA #parksontheair activation. Decided to partake of some afternoon #SSTV action. When one mode fails try another.

In February 1204, the Japanese court poet Fujiwara no Teika recorded in his diary that a terrifying "red vapor" and glowing red light filled the night sky over Kyoto for three consecutive nights.
Eight centuries later, scientists analyzed carbon-14 spikes in ancient tree rings and confirmed he had witnessed a massive, historic solar storm.
The red skies were a severe, low-latitude aurora borealis triggered by powerful coronal mass ejections. A solar storm of that magnitude today would have fried every satellite, GPS system, and global power grid on Earth.

🌞 A Plan to Stop Solar Storms From Sending Us Back to the Stone Age
｢ Far out in space, where geostationary satellites orbit, a half-dozen school-bus-size satellites crack open and start dumping barium, lithium or sodium. Within minutes, sunlight transforms this material into an ionized gas shield that slows the oncoming massive blob of plasma ｣

Sun unleashes powerful X-class solar flare and Earth-bound CME that could spark northern lights for July 4 weekend
However, after further analysis, NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center issued a Moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm watch for July 3, indicating that at least part of the CME could land Earth with a significant blow.

A powerful solar storm is heading toward Earth, raising the possibility of rare auroras at lower latitudes. Could parts of India witness the spectacle? https://english.mathrubhumi.com/technology/science/solar-storm-earth-india-northern-lights-aurora-geomagnetic-storm-h8w7rvs4?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #SolarStorm #NorthernLights #Aurora #SpaceWeather #IndiaSkywatchers

Scientists found evidence of a huge solar storm in old tree rings. This is the first time they have linked nature's data to ancient poems about red skies.

The sun decided to throw a moderate tantrum earlier this week and the result was some genuinely nice aurora displays at high latitudes. Alaska, northern Canada, Iceland — people in those spots actually got to see the sky light up in full green and purple.
Meanwhile the rest of us are still refreshing apps hoping for anything more interesting than another cloudy night. Classic.

"
Low-Earth orbit is a 'house of cards' that is just 2.8 days from a catastrophic collision
"
".. the system is getting so crowded, so maneuver-dependent, and so reliant on constant control that a rare disruption – especially a strong solar storm – could push it from “busy but manageable” to “we can’t keep up” surprisingly fast."1.5.2026

Space weather sounds sci-fi, but NOAA monitors it daily at https://SpaceWeather.gov. The sun's near solar maximum right now.
Worth bookmarking. Not worth losing sleep over.

Today's Ready Brief: Solar Storm Preparedness — The Carrington Event Scenario
What a massive solar storm would do. Protecting electronics. The realistic vs. Hollywood version.
Free to read: https://thereadybrief.com
-
In 1859, the Carrington Event solar storm set telegraph wires on fire. Aurora visible in Cuba.
Same storm today? Transformers that take 12-18 months to replace could fail.
Realistic version: regional grid failures lasting days to weeks. Your 72-hour plan covers this too.

Anybody have any insight into the effect of the #Solarstorm on the crew of #Artemis ? We appear to be having a G1/2 level storm right now. Yes I know they are on their way to the moon.

Wow, the solar storm really made things difficult this weekend. Only manages a few contacts, but it was still fun!

Could a powerful geomagnetic storm be the reason 8,000 Victorian homes suddenly lost power in January this year?
I had a chat with Dr Richard Marshall from Australian Bureau of Meteorology Space Weather about the origin of solar storms and the risks they present to our communities and critical infrastructure.
So great to be able to have such fantastic and professional insights about these important events and how we, as a society, need to mitigate against them.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@ieeespectrum/116002927434880981
#Starlink is doing one collision avoidance maneuver every two minutes on average. Starlink recently announced they’re moving down to 350 km, shifting #satellites 🛰️ to even lower orbits. Everybody has to go through that really dense shell - including #ISS, including #astronauts.

X8! Extremely active sunspot blasts biggest solar flare of 2026
The Sun has just unleashed its most powerful tantrum of the year. An X8-class solar flare has erupted from a massive sunspot, triggering immediate radio blackouts and putting the global power grid on high alert. We track the CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) headed for Earth and the potential for a "Carrington-level" event.
