A little action in the solar wind right now… speed still low but if this Bz can keep moseying on down we’ll be in business for high latitudes!

Fairbanks, Alaska 403 am AKST March 2. Really tried for this one, but it technically counts!
There was ZERO aurora before this moment tonight.
Woah! Stunning prominence lifting off the Sun’s northern limb. Spectacular eruption. No impacts to Earth anticipated.

02.03.2026 05:50 — 👍 10 🔁 3 💬 1 📌 0I usually use Yellowknife as an "early warning" for what may be coming to Fairbanks keeping in mind YKNF is further geomagnetically north, so auroral forms may be shifted 10-15 deg further towards the poleward horizon here in Fairbanks than what is visible there.

Watching and waiting now with our workshop... Fairbanks is quiet, but there is a healthy arc pushing south over Yellowknife, so that is good news!

Arrived at our Airbnb last night where we will be hosting my fourth annual aurora chasing workshop here in Fairbanks, Alaska! Look at these STUNNING views! Even though it’s cold, the landscape is absolutely beautiful right now.

A chilly -35 F morning today in Fairbanks, Alaska! Our workshop is starting soon—just leaving to pick up guests now. Very excited to see what tonight’s aurora brings… hopefully some fireworks!

She said... yes! Last night's aurora tour had a surprise proposal, and Levi was there to capture the moment!
Fairbanks looks absolutely majestic right now with the full moon, snowy trees, and beautiful aurora. Come join a tour with us!

I love when people ask me “What is -40 F in C?” and the correct (yet slightly cheeky) answer is “Yes.”
If you didn’t know, Fahrenheit and Celsius meet at -40. Right now outside my apartment, it’s -40!
How cold will it go… - 34 F (ish) outside my apartment currently! 10:11 pm in North Pole, Alaska… getting crazy cold!

Nice--aurora finally visible here in Fairbanks! Another cold night BELOW -40 F so if you are chasing be careful!
The regular ASI link is down, so I am using the U Calgary SMILE ASI system which is linked on my webcam page: go.theauroraguy.com/webcams
Just a heads up, there is a chance for a CME impact sometime tonight or tomorrow from a small filament eruption on Wednesday. I don't expect much from this, but if you see an enhancement in the solar wind, this may be the reason why.

That moment when you go outside and say "Oh, it warmed up!" and you look and it is -28 F. Lol.
For anyone that claims you can't feel any difference below -15 F or similar cold temps, I can tell you that is NOT true (at least for me)!

Some active regions has rotated around the Sun's eastern limb... the sunspot number is ~ 50 now. Unfortunately, none of the bright active regions pose much threat for strong solar flares--they do not have much magnetic complexity.

Car bottomed out at -40 F this morning. Mignt have been closer to -45 F since the ice fog was thicker than yesterday.
