Today, ATLAS (C/2024 S1) fell into the sun and did not survive. Using a coronagraph to create an artificial eclipse, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) recorded the comet's final moments. https://Spaceweather.com has the obituary. ¯(ツ)

https://vmst.io/@WestportObservatory/113375307995062785 WestportObservatory@vmst.io - AN X-CLASS DOUBLE SOLAR FLARE: Solar activity remains high with an X-class double solar flare on Oct. 26th. The explosion hurled an impressive CME into space, and it appears to have an Earth-directed component. Several big sunspots are turning toward Earth, so this could be the beginning of a week of stormy space weather. Also, a CME grazed Earth today, 10/26. The impact was weak, barely increasing solar wind speeds near Earth. High-latitude auroras are possible tonight. Spaceweather.com

The massive sunspot group AR3664, one of the largest for years, has been flaring & chucking out massive amounts of particles towards us for days 💥😬✌️

Which is why there's a severe geomagnetic storm warning for tonight & a good chance of seeing aurorae way down south in Europe 🥳🤞

SOUTHERN LIGHTS: Anyone having slow computer issues? At work and here all PC systems have been running unusually slow...for the last couple of days. Had to check the space weather and sure enough. Since the 27th an aurora australis event.

SOUTHERN LIGHTS: A co-rotating interaction region (CIR) hit Earth's magnetic field on May 27th. The impact sparked 12 hours of geomagnetic storming (G1-class) and a rare display of Southern Lights. Minoru Yoneto sends this deep-sky exposure from Queenstown, New Zealand:
