On the night of Sept. 7-8, Earth will pass directly between the sun and the full moon in this year’s second and final total lunar eclipse. Spanning more than five hours, the celestial event will peak with an impressive 82-minute totality phase, when Earth’s massive shadow will plunge the moon’s entire near side into a reddish darkness — earning it …

The northern part of the United States could get a chance to see lights in the sky Monday night, when the view line for the auroras lands on the Oregon-Washington border. The planet is still experiencing “solar maximum” of solar cycle 25, an approximately 11-year cycle of magnetic activity coming from the sun. Solar maximim will last into 2026 and …

The northern lights could illuminate skies overnight on Aug. 18-19, thanks to a fast-moving stream of solar wind that may spark geomagnetic storm conditions, potentially triggering visible auroras across 15 states, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Forecasters from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) and the U.K. Met Office predict a chance of minor (G1) geomagnetic …

Topline The “planet parade” happening all week will enter its most photogenic phase on Tuesday, Aug. 19, as Mercury becomes more prominent and the moon wanes to a slim crescent. All this week, four planets are visible to the naked eye an hour before sunrise. Uranus and Neptune will also be in the sky, though both require a telescope to …

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 …

Heads up aurora chasers! The northern lights could illuminate skies overnight on Aug. 7-8 as an incoming coronal mass ejection (CME) may spark geomagnetic storm conditions, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Though only a glancing blow is predicted from the CME, any impact could disrupt Earth’s magnetic field, which in turn can trigger geomagnetic storms and …
