From Live Science: “Past research suggests that some whale species are more likely to get lost and accidentally beach themselves during periods of increased solar activity.” Could a rise in solar storms create problems for whales that use magnetoreception to orient themselves? flip.it/BhHq8l

Have you been wondering what's happened to the sun's activity this mid-August? The sun has been busy but just need sending toward Earth. Stay tuned. More to come.

Roughly every 11 years, the sun slowly transitions from solar minimum, when our star is a smooth and calm ball of plasma, to solar maximum, when it becomes a chaotic, fiery mass littered with dark, planet-size sunspots that spew out solar storms. Live Science report that some experts believe the upcoming solar maximum could arrive sooner and be more active.

In 2023 the NASA STEREO-A spacecraft is approaching Earth, and in summer it will serve for a while as an upstream solar wind monitor. Also nice: are now observed at both L1 and STEREO, like the storm on Jan 17, giving us much needed data for better modeling. 🌬️🛰️

Dr. Tamitha Skov - @TamithaSkov: It's Region 3182, which we've been watching on the 's farside. Essentially the return of regions 3162 & 3163 from mid-December. It's launched two . One of them, quite large, is hitting Parker Solar Probe now! See my recent forecast on HRCC: youtu.be/yRYZGrLP1tQ?t=2487
