The shimmering northern lights that streak across Alaska’s skies have wilder cousins on Jupiter — they’re bigger, stranger, and now tied to a discovery helping scientists better understand space weather. These “alien auroras” on our solar system’s largest planet have revealed a previously unknown type of plasma wave, according to a study led by researchers at the University of Minnesota …

Space weather experts warn that a moderate-strength geomagnetic storm could hit Earth Friday or Saturday (Aug. 8 or 9) — possibly bringing auroras to northern U.S. skies. On Wednesday (Aug. 6), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a geomagnetic storm watch and suggested that the storm is likely associated with a recent solar flare that erupted from an …

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The Northern Lights may be visible over New York state and other northern parts of the United States on Wednesday night. Auroras, like those including the Northern Lights, are brilliant ribbons of light weaving across Earth’s northern or southern polar regions, according to NASA. These natural light shows are caused by magnetic storms that have been …

Your heart does more than pump blood. It also broadcasts tiny timing shifts that doctors read as heart rate variability (HRV), a window into the balance of your autonomic nervous system (ANS). A five‑month field study now suggests those shifts rise and fall with patterns in space weather.  “The study makes a striking correlation between people’s HRV and …
