Earth braces for biggest space storm in five years The biggest space weather storm in five years is hurtling toward Earth, threatening to disrupt power grids, GPS systems, satellites and airline flights, experts say. Space Storm Could Hit GPS Systems And Flights The biggest space weather storm in five years is heading towards Earth and could disrupt power grids, GPS systems, satellites and airline flights, Nasa has warned. Fiery weather explosions detected on Venus Washington, Mar 6 (ANI): Researchers have observed a type of space weather outburst on Venus, which are quite common on Earth. Space Weather: Explosions on Venus When discontinuities in the solar wind remain in contact with a planet's bow shock, they can collect a pool of hot particles that becomes a hot flow anomaly (HFA). An HFA on Venus most likely acts like a vacuum, pulling up parts of the planet's atmosphere. Credit: NASA/Collinson. New System To Forecast Space Weather A new system has been developed by British scientists that will forecast space weather in an effort to better protect satellites orbiting our planet from damaging solar storms. Led by researchers at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), the SPACECAST project is expected to provide reliable web-based forecasts so that satellite operators will be able to take action to keep their navigational ... Venus's space weather happens up close and personal Astronomers studying Venus have spotted a type of space weather outburst called a hot flow anomaly (HFA), which causes a temporary reversal of the solar wind that normally flows right past. read more NOAA SWPC Space Weather Outlook #12-12 NOAA SWPC Space Weather Outlook #12-12 New system to forecast space weather launched ( British Antarctic Survey ) A new European Union system to forecast space weather goes live March 1. Led by researchers at British Antarctic Survey, the 2.54 million SPACECAST project will provide frequent and reliable web-based forecasts so that satellite operators can take action to protect their satellites from space radiation damage. Video: Space Weather - Explosions on Venus As the solar wind rushes outward from the Sun at nearly a million miles per hour, it is stopped about 44,000 miles away from Earth when it collides with the giant magnetic envelope that surrounds the planet called the magnetosphere. New program boosts space weather forecasting Forecasting program helps predict harmful radiation levels By Summit Voice SUMMIT COUNTY —Critical communication and weather satellites could get more protection from potentially harmful radiation after last week's startup of a new space weather forecasting system. The the €2.54m SPACECAST project, led by researchers with the British Antarctic Survey, will provide frequent and reliable web-based ...
