Six Planets Align in the Sky: A Guide to Viewing Mars, Saturn, and More
Broke On: Saturday, 01 June 2024From June 1-7, Mars and Saturn will be visible in the eastern sky as part of an alignment of six planets. Contrary to misinformation, this event won't result in a 'parade of planets' visible to the naked eye. Only Mars and Saturn can be easily seen with the naked eye during dawn, while Jupiter and Mercury are lost in the sun's glare. Uranus and Neptune require telescopes for observation due to their great distances from Earth. 
Upcoming Solar Storm Could Bring Northern Lights to New England and Upper Midwest

The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a possible geomagnetic storm alert. 
Powerful Solar Activity from Sunspot AR3664 Triggers Spectacular Auroras in Europe and North America
Broke On: Monday, 27 May 2024In late May 2024, powerful solar activity from sunspot AR3664 caused spectacular auroras in Europe and North America, visible due to two X-class flares and resulting coronal mass ejections. These displays are caused by solar particles interacting with Earth's atmosphere and can have significant impacts on infrastructure. 
Upcoming Weeks: Possible Aurora Borealis Displays as Solar Sunspot Interacts with Earth's Magnetic Field
Broke On: Friday, 10 May 2024A massive sunspot, AR3664 or AR13664, has rotated back towards Earth and is interacting with our planet's magnetic field, potentially leading to more Aurora Borealis displays in the coming weeks. Witnessed as far south as Florida and Mexico in May 2024, these natural light shows occur when charged particles collide with the Earth's magnetosphere. 
Io's Volcanic History: A Billion-Year Long Eruption on Jupiter's Moon
Broke On: Thursday, 18 April 2024Jupiter's moon Io, the most volcanically active body in our solar system, has a long and ongoing history of eruptions since its formation over 4.5 billion years ago. With over 400 known volcanoes, Io resurfaces itself every million years and releases sulfur dioxide gas during eruptions, creating an orange glow around the moon. New discoveries suggest that Io has lost up to 99% of its original sulfur reservoir, indicating a continuous geologic activity that challenges previous theories. NASA's Juno spacecraft provides valuable data on Io and its impact on Jupiter's atmosphere. Total Solar Eclipse in 2026: Greenland, Iceland and Spain to be Affected
