June 3, 2026 — Multiple flares with associated coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have been observed over the past 24 hours, originating from Solar Active Region 4455, shown here. “Closely-spaced impacts on June 5^th could produce strong G3-class geomagnetic storms,” reports SpaceWeather .com, “with auroras in Europe and the USA at mid-latitudes.” Of course, we are expecting cloudy skies, here in Northeast Ohio, when the aurora may occur. #spaceweather #aurora #sun #sunspot #solarastronomy #astronomy
