Auroral substorm erupting near Delta Junction, Alaska.
Filmed around March 2025 with our aurora chasing workshop.
Nice day at Griffith Observatory.. great views as always.
Beautiful aurora over Fairbanks, Alaska
Here is the current Sun: a skinny coronal hole is facing Earth which probably won't do much. We could see continued elevated wind speeds from the coronal hole nearing the western limb and an additional minor gust of fast wind in a couple days from the larger (albeit still skinny) coronal hole.
Staring right up into the aurora with this very stark cutoff between the green and the inky blackness of a moonless night.
Some filaments are near the center of the Earth-facing disk along with bright areas spilling in from the east. There aren't many numbered active regions right now, and the SSN ~= 76--pretty meh. We're in a sort of "watch and wait" mode at the moment.
A G2 or higher NOAA SWPC forecast is when I start sending free aurora alerts to my full email list. Each alert focuses on the practical questions: when is the best timing, where is the best potential, and what should people watch for as things evolve that night?
