Solar phenomena

The aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, have illuminated the Turkish skies for the second time.

Appearing in vivid shades of red, green and violet, the northern lights have lit up the horizon in both the northern province of Kastamonu and northwestern city of Sakarya.

Last night, the northern lights, or aurora borealis, made a stunning appearance in the skies over Bulgaria. A powerful solar flare triggered this extraordinary display, filling the atmosphere with vibrant shades of red, pink, blue, and green.

Bulgaria's first polar astronomy project will take place in 2024-2025

"Impact of solar activity on ionospheric dynamics and high-energy particle fluxes over Antarctica" is the title of the first Bulgarian polar astronomical scientific research project, which will take place in 2024-2025 on the territory of the Bulgarian Antarctic Base on Livingstone Island.

Today, Bulgarians celebrate Enyovden, a day steeped in mystical, magical, and supernatural traditions dating back to ancient times. Enyovden, observed on June 24th, has pagan origins but is also recognized by both the Orthodox and Catholic churches as the Day of Saint John the Baptist.

NASA said the weekend geomagnetic storm caused one of its environmental satellites to rotate unexpectedly

Auroras could light up skies across swaths of the planet for the second night in a row on Saturday, after already dazzling Earthlings from the United States to Tasmania to the Bahamas the day before.

A potent geomagnetic storm, the most formidable in two decades, has struck, instigated by successive coronal mass ejections from the Sun. Initially forecasted at a four-degree intensity, the storm's actual magnitude surpassed expectations, raising concerns among American experts.

The most powerful solar storm in more than two decades struck Earth on Friday, triggering spectacular celestial light shows from Tasmania to Britain — and threatening possible disruptions to satellites and power grids as it persists into the weekend.

The most powerful solar flare since 2017 has been registered so far. The sun has expelled a mass with values unseen for close to a decade, reports UPI. In less than 24 hours, the sun has unleashed three waves of X-class flares, the highest magnitude on the scale measuring the intensity of solar eruptions.
