Equipped with a special solar telescope to monitor the sun’s corona and multiple instruments which measure the solar wind in real-time, NOAA’s Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1) will detect space weather activity by monitoring the sun and near-Earth environment.
Space weather can have disruptive and damaging results.
On Thursday, May 9, 2024, the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch.
A collaboration between NOAA and NASA, ‘Earth from Orbit’ is a series of short videos and a short article with additional information that showcase a compelling weather event, environmental hazard, or interesting meteorological phenomenon each week, as seen by NOAA satellites.
The NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) expects a more powerful earthbound Coronal Mass Ejection’ Event to strike Thursday to Friday.
A G3 (Strong) Geomagnetic Storm Watch is in effect for 30 – 31 October, 2021, following a significant solar flare and Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from the sun that occurred around 11:35 a.m. EDT on Oct. 28.
