Special Report from Belgium: Solar Storm Forecast 08-01-2018
The Sun launches another stealthy solar storm this week, but its so wispy and moving so slowly it might not cause much of a disturbance. Aurora photographers at high latitudes might enjoy sporadic views but mid-latitudes might miss out. Amateur radio operators and emergency responders get a nice boost in radio propagation this week as a bright region rotates into view with another coming in a few days. GPS users at low and mid-latitudes should enjoy decent reception, while those at high latitudes might get a few disruptions on the night side near aurora. Catch up on aurora pics, learn about the coming storm, and see what else the Sun has in store!
