As Seen On:

” If you are fascinated by aurora and hope to see it someday (on or above our planet), you need to follow Tamitha Skov. “

Mike Fossum, NASA Astronaut

“We hold quarterly HF Communications Exercises with the Amateur Radio Community. Although the solar wind is great for aurora it’s a nightmare for us. Keep up the great work.”

Bob Jordan AAA2R9 / KD2BQM / WQSG766, Civil Affairs Officer, US Army MARS Region 2

“Your work is helpful, important, and inspiring– not only to me but also to my 12-year-old step daughter who now has an interest in space weather!”

Kiki Valentine, Independent Consultant

Great, consistent content. I appreciate especially how the presenter IDs groups for whom data points might be relevant: aurora photogs, air travelers, radio operators. The job is definitely futuristic. It’s just that the future, finally, is now.

Dr. Tamitha Skov

Dr. Tamitha Skov is a new kind of weather forecaster for our modern world. As we become more reliant on technology like our cell phones, GPS (GNSS), and other satellite services we find we are more susceptible to the effects of Space Weather. Just like terrestrial weather on Earth, Space Weather can be as mild as a rainstorm or as wild as a hurricane.

Let Tamitha show you in non-science jargon how this new kind of weather impacts your daily life. You will never look at the Sun or the Earth in the same way again. After all, Space Weather is just like the weather in your own backyard, it’s just a little further up.

Solar Eye-Candy & Massive Far Side Eruptions | Space Weather Spotlight 19 December 2024

This week our Sun launches multiple big solar storms, most of which have given us some gorgeous eye candy. One of these eruptions launched a strong Earth-directed solar storm that hit Earth, but it was the wrong magnetic orientation to cause issues. We have also had several spectacular farsided eruptions, which hint that old Regions 3905 and 3906 (as well as 3912) are remaining active. This means we should expect big flares, big radio blackouts, and increased radio noise on Earth’s dayside over the coming week as these regions rotate back into view. These regions are also storm producers, so expect to see more chances for Earth-directed solar storms again in about a week. Learn the details of these regions, watch some beautiful solar fireworks, and see what else lies in store for this upcoming holiday week.
