Solar storms can briefly dial back the rain and snow across North America, depending on how powerful the outburst is. #spaceweather

Remember Comet Lovejoy? In 2011 it skimmed the Sun and survived. Now Comet MAPS (C/2026 A1) is up next. Since Jan. 13 it’s brightened 5 magnitudes (100×). On April 4 it dives just ~160,000 km above the Sun—inside the corona. That’s bold. Now 13th magnitude, it’s within reach of mid-sized scopes under dark skies (South favored, some North too) Will it survive or vaporize?

🚨 BIG SUNSPOT ALERT 🚨 Sunspot 4366 didn’t exist days ago—now it’s nearly 10× wider than Earth and already fired off a triple-peaked M7–X1–M6 solar flare lasting over 6 hours. Its unstable magnetic field means more flares are likely. A radio blackout followed… and space weather may not be done yet.
