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.

Multiple Solar Storms Come and an Historic Far Side Blast | Space Weather News 28 November 2024

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Activity picks up this week in a big way with a lot of eye-candy on the Earth-facing Sun and on the farside too. Two Earth-directed solar storms could impact Earth this week bringing aurora down to mid-latitudes during the holiday festivities. Although the storming isnt expected to be very strong, we are nearing a new moon so that should help the aurora stand out against the nighttime skies. But even if the aurora shows are underwhelming, there are many more storm producers on the Sun right now that could send more storms our way. Amateur radio operators and GPS should expect noise levels to continue rising on the dayside radio bands and a heightened risk of big R2-R3 level radio blackouts on the dayside over the next two weeks, thanks to some big returning regions and some new flare players rotating into Earth view. The risk for radiation storms will also begin rising again as we move into the first week of December. Learn the details of the coming solar storms, watch an historically strong event launch on the Sun’s farside, and see what else is in store.

How Does Space Weather Affect Us?

Here are some things to ponder:
