A geomagnetic storm​ is expected to trigger the northern lights, or aurora borealis, around NYC and New Jersey this week.

When CMEs impact Earth's magnetosphere - the region of space surrounding our planet that is dominated by its magnetic field - they can cause major disturbances called geomagnetic storms.

This alert comes as two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are expected to make their way to Earth this weekend. A geomagnetic ...

When CMEs interact with Earth's magnetosphere, they bring electrically charged particles called ions that collide with Earth's magnetic field. These collisions can spark geomagnetic storms.

An apparent weakening of one of the world’s most important ocean currents is probably a measurement error caused by a shift in the geomagnetic field, a new study ...

The weather is expected to cooperate, but even if the visible range extends to here, experts say putting some miles between ...

Editor's note: The incoming CME hit 6 hours later than predicted and sparked a severe G4 geomagnetic storm ... is a large plume of plasma and magnetic field known as a coronal mass ejection ...

The third geomagnetic storm in five months is heading towards Earth and will arrive at our hardy little planet either today or tomorrow, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

Auroras are created when explosions of energy and particles from the sun temporarily disturb the protective magnetic bubble around Earth, creating a geomagnetic ... s magnetic field lines into ...

The Earth will be under a geomagnetic storm watch from Thursday through Saturday because of the effects of a solar flare that could make the northern lights visible in some parts of lower 48 ...

relative to Earth's magnetic field. Data from SWPC suggests that may not be the case, which could mean that despite a severe geomagnetic storm, an aurora would not be visible.The fields can ...

Strong geomagnetic storms are forecasted in the coming days, and that could bring spectacular northern lights displays to ...
