The Sun's activity is really picking up with multiple coronal holes passing through the Earth-strike zone this week. The largest of these we encountered a month ago, when the fast wind it sent our way gave us a G2-level solar storm. This month it is even larger and has even more storm potential. Learn the details of this coming solar storm, see when and where aurora will likely be visible, and how it will affect amateur and shortwave radio propagation as well as GPS reception. Also catch up on some more aurora photos from when the last time this region caused a solar storm!
