Currently, the International Space Station is flying over Europe, and the Hubble telescope is operating normally. We're experiencing moderate solar activity, which has led to a G2 (Moderate) Geomagnetic Storm Watch and an R1 (Minor) Radio Blackout. This means there's a chance of minor disruptions to some radio communications and power grids, but it also increases the likelihood of seeing beautiful auroras over northern Scandinavia and Canada. There are no upcoming rocket launches to report at this time.

G2 (Moderate) Geomagnetic Storm Watch
A G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm watch is in effect due to a coronal mass ejection (CME) impact. Auroras may be visible at lower latitudes than usual. Minor impacts to satellite operations and power grids are possible.
R1 (Minor) Radio Blackout
An M-class solar flare caused a minor radio blackout on the sunlit side of Earth. High-frequency radio communication may be degraded for a short period.
