Coronal mass ejection to hit Earth; auroras possible across 17 states as satellites, GPS and HF comms face disruption A coronal mass ejection is forecast to strike Earth tonight, producing auroras visible from Alaska to Illinois and across roughly 17 states. The solar storm raises the risk of satellite anomalies, degraded GPS accuracy and outages of high‑frequency (HF) communications that can affect aviation, maritime and space operations.

X1.1 solar flare from sunspot 4298 triggers strong radio blackouts across Australia A powerful X1.1 solar flare from sunspot region 4298 produced intense radio blackouts across the sunlit portion of Earth at the time of the eruption, notably disrupting HF communications over Australia. The event temporarily degraded shortwave links relied upon for long‑range aviation and maritime comms.
