Solar Flare Heading Toward Earth, Could Result in Beautiful Sky Show [VIDEO]

Take a look up in the sky Saturday night, and if you’re far enough north, you might catch a glimpse of the magnificent aurora borealis. The northern lights sky show will be more intense tonight because the sun released a large solar flare on Thursday and Friday, and it’s just starting to affect Earth on Saturday morning.

This is a big solar flare, classified by astronomers as “extreme,” but according to spaceweather.com, it’s barely into that extreme range. Just a few ticks less intense, and it would be ranked in the innocuous “M” (moderate) range.

Nevertheless, this latest solar flare still might be powerful enough for you to see those lovely northern lights tonight, even from latitudes as far south as New York. Will anything else be affected? No, you don’t have to worry about electronics being destroyed, even if you own an Earth-orbiting satellite.

Here’s spaceweather.com’s animated GIF of the solar flare, erupting on Friday:

  1. My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a number of websites for
    about a year and am worried about switching to another platform.

    I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my
    wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

  7. Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why
    but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same results.

  17. Today, I went to the beach with my children.
    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to
    her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
    ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
