Aurora Watch In Effect As Severe Solar Storm Slams Into Earth
alternative_right shares a report from ScienceAlert: Thanks to a giant eruption on the Sun and a large opening in its atmosphere, we’re currently experiencing G4 conditions – a severe geomagnetic storm strong enough to disrupt power grids as energy from space weather disturbances drives electric currents through Earth’s magnetic field and the ground. … ⌘ Read more

Young stars ejecting plasma could offer clues into the sun’s past
The sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma, called coronal mass ejections (CMEs), into space. They often occur together with sudden brightenings called flares, and sometimes extend far enough to disturb Earth’s magnetosphere, generating space weather phenomena including auroras or geomagnetic storms, and even damaging power grids on occasion. ⌘ Read more

[ANN] Lighting up the quantum computing horizon with Aurora
Referencing Xanadu’s blog post released on 22nd Jan 2025 about their implementation of fault-tolerant, networked, scaleable quantum computing at room temperature that if i am understanding the post correctly could be used to efficiently build a quantum computer that is resourceful enough to threaten the monero’s cryptography.

** Astronomical occurrences **
In the span of two posts here I’ve witnessed two astronomical events! First the total solar eclipse, and then more recently the aurora borealis. Both were amazing, especially the aurora. I’d never seen either before and both were pretty incredible to behold.
I left my old job at the start of the month, and, after a few days off, I’ve started a new one! I’m really excited for this one, though around day two the anxiety and im … ⌘ Read more

moss grows on the polewards side of trees because aurorae are one of the most powerful sources of magical energy
During new moon, the forest’s canopy is often bathed in aurora arborealis, waste magic from rituals below meeting the fog above
she’s wearing a lightning crown, her hair’s a tangle of field lines, aurorae play over her eyeballs
They come from wells in the mountains where earth magic leaks to the surface, and the High North where the Aurora Borealis is harnessed
