Dark Farside Regions Come with Aurora & Meteors for New Years | Space Weather News 30 December 2023
This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University:
Solar activity is in an upswing this week as we get hit by some fast solar wind from a finger-like coronal hole. This wind could give us some nice views as we cross into New Years. Aurora photographers, especially at high latitudes should enjoy some extended views and even those at mid-latitudes could get a brief chance to ring in the New Year with nature’s fireworks. Considering we also have the Quadrantids meteor shower peaking in early January, this could make for some spectacular shots, in spite of the bright moon. Amateur radio operators and GPS users also have some quiet days left before a big cluster of active regions rotates back into Earth-view, boosting the solar flux and the risk for radio blackouts. Learn the details of the coming fast wind, watch the dark regions lurking on the Sun’s farside, and see what else our Sun has in store!
