If the Carrington Event Happened Today — New York https://t.co/eLmFQ5Rhvp via @YouTube

[Vincent Ledvina @Vincent_Ledvina]

Firing on all cylinders, we have seen a flurry of CME activity from the Sun in the past few days with at least three CMEs directed towards Earth now. HUXt has a few more in the mix, but all possible impacts overlap at roughly the same time--early UT June 5. This is interesting..

[Jure Atanackov @JAtanackov]

Whoa!! The SWPC WSA-ENLIL model prediction for the first two CMEs is *impressive *! Direct double impact, with solar wind speed in 800-1000+ km/s range. If this pans out and Bt/Bz is very favourable we are easy in G3+ range. Even if solar wind speed is somewhat lower (CMEs arrive later), it could still be quite intense if Bt/Bz cooperate. OTOH it could gonthe same way as 19 January 2026 CME. High hopes, low expectations. Who's charging their camera batteries? :)

Two far side X-class flares! The STIX instrument on Solar Orbiter detected two X-class flares yesterday: an estimated X1 at 7:08 UTC and an estimated X2 at 21:03 UTC. The X1 was produced by the big new active region, there is no data for the X2 yet (but it is quite likely from the same huge active region). There were also numerous far side M-class flares yesterday.

M1.9 solar flare detected around AR 4436 at 16:12 UTC (May 16). Coronal dimming already evident meaning a CME will be produced. A further update will be provided once updated imagery becomes available. https://t.co/aqK4Q6XdAY

Our Cam in North Dakota with @Vincent_Ledvina is popping off today ❤️

[Above Earth @AboveEarthAlert]

@WhoScored Disappointed, Bowen 18 and you leave him off 🤦🏻

[Industrial Engineer Irene Quiroz @nenecallas]

Active region AR4436 has generated an M5-class flare on the northeast side of the sun; a coronal mass ejection (CME) is observed.

Getting bored waiting for the BZ to flip, here is a show we see in Iceland a while back.

Not AI. Not sped up. This is a real-time video of the northern lights dancing over Beaver, Alaska

Hows it looking down under

[Above Earth @AboveEarthAlert]

@WestHam hey guys, I’m bring my Dad to the game on Saturday, he is 86 years old and mostly blind and death, first game he has been too in 15 years, can we sort an ex player or something to come say hi ? Any help would be fantastic.

[Above Earth @AboveEarthAlert]

Can’t wait for nights like these again

[Dr. Tamitha Skov @TamithaSkov]

Get ready for some aurora weather with an added sparkle from the Lyrid meteor shower. With the new moon, skies should be perfect for viewing. Meanwhile, twin regions emerge simultaneously inside several coronal holes, hinting at the Sun's deepest secrets: https://t.co/HaaJzOzOyI

RT @Vincent_Ledvina: Negative-polarity near the spring equinox, trans-equatorial, an interesting anemone-like feature on the leading edge……

Scotland Aurora hunt trip highlights.

[Above Earth @AboveEarthAlert]

@chunder10 That maybe possible, if you ask nicely 😂

[Above Earth @AboveEarthAlert]

Huge Coronal Hole about to face Earth, expect Aurora in the coming few days

[Above Earth @AboveEarthAlert]

@konstructivizm There was no flare, Click bait

[Dr. Tamitha Skov @TamithaSkov]

Our Sun keeps things quiet with only minor flare activity and fast solar wind. Perfect weather for the Artemis II splashdown! Expect more of the same, with aurora remaining at high latitudes and a low risk for radio blackouts. Early next week, activity might rise with new regions rotating into view.
