Our annual #tangerinefanangle photo - Dad & his boys! Always on March 26th! We missed 2024 bc Raptors didn’t play March 26 last year! @TangerineHoops #WeTheNorth

Attention: The coming #solarstorm is going to be much stronger than predicted! It has hit Solar Orbiter, which is currently serving as a long-range upstream monitor ahead of Earth. From the magnetic field observations (see red boxed area in the magnetic field plot), the magnetic structure of the storm has either rotated slightly or SolO is hitting the "bent" part of the structure that has the solar slinky tilted on its side. We now know the structure will likely have a "SWN" flux rope configuration once it hits Earth. If conditions hold, this means #aurora will build fast when the storm hits and stay strong for about the first 6 hours or so (throughout the magnetosheath and the early part of the solar storm core). Then the field will likely flip north and the storm will no longer be a strong aurora producer at mid-latitudes. In a nutshell, what all this means is that NOAA and NASA have underpredicted the impact of this coming storm. It could easily be a G3-level or higher, *IF* the observations from Solar Orbiter are any indication. Also, this storm will arrive between early to midday October 28 UTC time!

WHAT A NIGHT!! 🤩💃💚 almost every colour of the rainbow in this corona! @TamithaSkov Taken near Torquay, SK 1:19AM Oct 11/24 #northernlights #Auroraborealis

iPhone shots from tonight’s spectacular display from Torquay, SK! Such vivid reds💃🤩 @TamithaSkov #Auroraborealis

[Steph Cassin @stephedgar87]

@TamithaSkov Amazing you got to see it with your own eyes!

[Dr. Tamitha Skov @TamithaSkov]

It's a #solarstorm train! We now have FIVE storms headed towards Earth! Storm 2, 3, and 5 will be direct hits as seen in the coronagraph imagery. Impacts start around midday May 10 and will continue through late May 12 at least. G3-level conditions & extended #aurora possible.

[Dr. Tamitha Skov @TamithaSkov]

Agreed. #Aurora photographers get ready! We finally have an Earth-directed #solarstorm worthy of solar maximum. This could easily give us G2, possibly G3-level impacts, sometime late March 25 or early March 26. Waiting for NASA and NOAA model runs to confirm.

Toronto, thank you for everything. This one’s for you. ❤️ @PlayersTribune

The super #solarstorm launched during a X4.98-flare New Year's Eve will clip Earth. NOAA prediction shows impact early January 2 (UTC). The storm should hit hard, but last less than a day. Expect bright, but short-lived #aurora plus #radio signal disruptions on Earth's nightside.

[Dr. Tamitha Skov @TamithaSkov]

Waiting patiently for the official NOAA/SWPC #solarstorm prediction to compare with this one from NASA, which shows a glancing blow late on July 19. NASA predicts up to a G3-level storm, but it depends upon storm magnetic orientation, speed & how directly the storm hits Earth.

Fred VanVleet is and will always be a Raptors icon. From undrafted camp invitee to all-star, NBA champion and now max player. One of the greatest and most inspiring stories in pro sports and easily a top-10 player in the franchise's history.

[Steph Cassin @stephedgar87]

Patience is paying off! #aurora from Torquay, SK a few min ago. Still climbing higher! #backofcam

[Steph Cassin @stephedgar87]

Forgot to add the photo with the last tweet 🤦🏻‍♀️lol. Here it is.

[Steph Cassin @stephedgar87]

Not quite dark yet and can barely see #aurora, but my iPhone picked it up half decent! Just now in Torquay, SK. @TamithaSkov

[Dr. Tamitha Skov @TamithaSkov]

Direct Hit: NOAA predictions show the coming #solarstorm will hit Earth early April 24. Easily a G2-level storm at mid-latitudes, #aurora chances are high. The storm must still have the right magnetic orientation for sustained shows. Expect #HFradio & #GPS issues on the nightside

[Steph Cassin @stephedgar87]

Daddy and his boys - 3 year old Lexton and 6 day old Loxley! We’ve made Fan Angle on March 26 the last two years running so only fitting we carry on the tradition this year!🤞♥️ #tangerinefanangle #letsgoraptors #WeTheNorth #raptors @TangerineHoops

[Steph Cassin @stephedgar87]

@gunjansinha2017 Awesome, congrats!

[Steph Cassin @stephedgar87]

@Vincent_Ledvina Hard to believe from the image, but I read it has since reopened to light vehicle traffic (single lane). Hopefully you’re able to get through next week!

[Dr. Tamitha Skov @TamithaSkov]

Our #Sun gets busy with four big-flare players, multiple Earth-directed #solarstorm launches & fast solar wind. Strong #aurora possible to mid-latitudes August 17-18 with G1-G2 storm levels. Expect disruptions to amateur #radio & #GPS reception, especially on Earth's night side.
