Why are we seeing so many more CMEs these days? It sounds like, just this year, we've been getting more powerful auroras.

We are because we're at the peak of the 11-year solar system. We talked about that in last week's EarthSky Sun News of the Week livestream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZvdfamOh993qbs

There has been some spectacular bright ✨ ⭐ stars🤔What am I visually seeing👀

[@earthsky]

Well ... it depends on what time of night you're looking. Some VERY bright stars are coming INTO view late at night now ... when we look toward those stars, we're looking in the direction away from the center of our Milky Way galaxy, but toward the spiral arm of the galaxy in which our sun resides. So we're seeing very bright stars that are in that spiral arm.
