We are in the middle of some high speed solar wind, which is bathing Earth in aurora right now and this will intensify as three solar storms hit Earth over the next few days. The first of these is hitting Earth as of this posting and should cause the aurora to brighten. It will also cause the amateur radio bands to take a dive, especially on the nightside of Earth. Learn more details about these storms, how they will affect you, and see what else the Sun has in store this week.
