The SUN Today


SOLAR SECTOR BOUNDARY CROSSING: Late on May 25th, Earth will cross a fold in the heliospheric current sheet and enter a region of space filled with negative polarity magnetic fields. Such fields can open a crack in Earth's magnetosphere, allowing solar wind to pour in and fuel geomagnetic disturbances.  According to NOAA forecasters, the odds of a G1-class storm is 20% to 30%.
