Impressive auroras might be back on the menu as huge solar flares and potential coronal mass ejections erupt toward Earth, once again.
A major solar active region on the sun continues to put out large expulsions of plasma and magnetic energy, and these impressive solar flares are getting set to face our planet again.Now, that same sunspot is reappearing after traversing the far side of the sun, and it has the potential to produce some pretty strong flares in the coming days and months.Global News meteorologist Anthony Farnell says that parts of the country could see some aurora activity as early as this weekend.
“There is the potential for a G2 solar storm starting late Friday and we could see northern lights this weekend, but the potential is still there for more flares and even better displays as the sunspot moves towards the centre of the sun facing planet Earth,” he said, adding that the solar storm is “expected to arrive late on May 31 or June 1.”Purple and blue northern lights in the sky at Sunset Point Beach in Collingwood, Ont. on the night of May 10, 2024.
On this particular rotation, scientists have been able to track AR13664/13697, thanks to the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter craft, which has been travelling behind the sun. It noticed that the overall frequency of X-class flares has dipped dramatically, but it’s hard to tell if that will become a trend.And, as for another stunning show of northern lights similar to the one earlier this month? It’s pretty hard to predict, but not completely off the table.
Regardless, it’s worth keeping an eye on aurora prediction websites and apps over the weekend and in the coming weeks to see what the sun has in store.Financial literacy test will be mandatory to get Ontario high school diploma: Lecce
