The Sun is keeping things exciting with multiple flares and solar storms from 7 Earth-facing active regions this week. We are currently experiencing active aurora conditions now due to several grazing blows from solar storms and fast solar wind from a coronal hole. These conditions should continue over the next several days. In addition we are watching a very large solar filament that has just entered the Earth-strike zone, which could cause a large, Earth-directed solar storm, if it erupts. Learn the details about how this solar activity might affect you and what else our Sun has in store for us this week.
