Goodbye Big Flares, Hello Green Comet | Space Weather News: 26 January 2023

This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University:
This week our Sun quiets down as the remaining two big flare players rotate to the Sun's farside. We are still dealing with a bit of fast solar wind from a coronal hole that is rotating through the Earth-strike zone, but it is underperforming thus far. Aurora photographers at high latitudes can get a show through the weekend, but those at mid-latitudes will likely need to wait for another week or so for a better chance. At least amateur radio operators and GPS users will appreciate the quiet as it means less noise on the radio bands and better reception of GPS signals over the coming week. Pilots and aviators alike will also relish the low risk for radiation storms, which means clear skies even for polar routes. Learn the details of this week's space weather and see what else our Sun has in store.

Superb new graphics! Always a pleasure learning from you & your Space Weather Report. Last night I watched that small Asteroid slip past Earth on the Virtual Telescope Project, only 4000km from us! It was moving very fast, amazing it was even spotted days before.
Still trying to see the Comet, fingers crossed. ~ Thanks Tamitha our Superb Space Weather Woman.😻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌠

Thanks Tamitha - Another terrific presentation from you and your crew. I wish a kept my 10 inch Newtonian reflector telescope so I might get a more than great view of the green comet. Thank goodness we always have you - our bright and shining space weather gal.
