A geomagnetic storm is predicted to hit Earth tonight after the Sun hurled a massive solar flare in our direction. Aside from a potential radio blackout, the storm may also bring with it a dazzling display of aurora borealis over parts of North America. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecast that the Northern Lights will appear in North America on Friday night and last from Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Sky watchers in northern Canada and Alaska have the

Last month, Aurora Innovation became the first company to operate a fully driverless semi truck service on American highways. And by "fully driverless," we mean that no one — not a soul — was sitting in the driver's seat as the autonomous truck performed its first official delivery, barreling down a stretch of Texas's Interstate 45 with its 25,000 pound haul of frozen treats in tow. There was, in fact, zero human supervision. At least, not unless your idea of supervision is a man lounged in th

Astronomers have finally captured visible auroras dazzling the skies above Mars — and they're unlike anything we see on Earth. The spectacular discovery was made using NASA's Perseverance rover. Thanks to careful planning by the researchers, the robotic explorer gazed up to the heavens just in time to catch a powerful solar storm slamming into Mars' thin atmosphere, creating a diffuse green glow that could be seen across the entire planet, dwarfing its Earth counterparts.

On March 18, 2024, the Sun swung a large bubble of plasma toward the direction of Mars. The eruption of the solar storm led to an auroral display across the Martian sky, which glowed with a greenish hue. A group of scientists used the Perseverance rover to look up at the sky and capture Mars’ visible aurora for the first time. Scientists used Perseverance’s SuperCam spectrometer and Mastcam-Z camera to observe a visible aurora on Mars, identifying the exact spectral line causing the green emiss

NASA’s Webb space telescope has captured haunting new views of Jupiter’s auroral display, revealing the bright light show in exquisite, never-before-seen details. Using the telescope’s most recent observations of the gas giant, scientists uncovered a curious discrepancy between how Jupiter’s auroras appear to Webb versus Hubble. Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) zoomed into Jupiter’s poles to capture the planet’s fast-varying auroral features, which are 100 times brighter than the ones seen
