Polar Crown Eye Candy & a Whole Host of Coronal Holes | Space Weather News 17 June 2023

This week our Sun picks up the activity in lots of eye-catching ways. First, several massive polar crown filaments erupt in a spectacular fashion. although these solar storms are not Earth-directed, there are yet another sign we are edging closer to solar maximum. In addition, multiple coronal holes are going to send us a patchwork quilt of fast solar wind over the next week. The first bust of fast wind has already bumped us to storm levels and brought brief aurora shows down to mid-latitudes during this summer solstice new moon. Additional bursts will continue throughout this week and into next, bringing more chances for aurora. We also have new active regions rotating into Earth view that are bringing back radio blackouts, after the reprieve we've enjoyed last week. Amateur radio operators should expect more noise overall on the dayside radio bands and GPS users should expect minor GPS reception issues near dawn and dusk, and of course, anywhere near aurora. watch the gorgeous filaments erupt, learn the details of the fast solar wind and aurora possibilities, and see what else our Sun has in store this week.
