This type of lunar eclipse, known for its e

A geomagnetic storm that began Monday evening across the Northern Hemisphere has raised the possibility of a rare sight in the skies over Chicago, with the northern lights potentially visible overnight. The storm was triggered by a Coronal Mass Ejection, or CME, that erupted from the sun over the weekend. This burst of solar particles reached Earth near 5 p.m. EDT on Monday, with the first signs detected at the L1 orbital point about one million miles away from Earth by monitoring satellites.

A rare and powerful space weather event is on its way, as a cannibal coronal mass ejection from the sun is forecast to strike Earth late on Monday, September 1, 2025. Scientists warn that this unusual solar explosion could create a strong geomagnetic storm, bringing both dazzling auroras and potential disruptions to satellites, power grids, and communications. The phenomenon began on August 30 when sunspot region AR 41

Asteroid 2025 QY4 is drawing the attention of both scientists and astronomy enthusiasts as it prepares to make a close approach to Earth this week.
