Anyone who missed the dazzling auroras dancing across night skies earlier this weekend will get another chance Sunday evening, as the powerful geomagnetic storm hitting the Earth is expected to intensify yet again.
"Several intense Coronal Mass Ejections are still anticipated to reach the Earth's outer atmosphere by later today," the US National Weather Service said.
Those ejections - SpaceX launches 23 Starlink satellites from Florida

SpaceX launched 23 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Sunday night, bringing the total number of Starlink satellites in orbit to just over 6,000.
This was the 15th mission for the reusable booster rocket, which launches the spacecraft into orbit, largely under the power of a million pounds of rocket-grade kerosene. Nine of its launche Where is the Best Place to Buy Used Books?

SpaceX shows off its new extravehicular activity suit
Monday, 13 May 2024 15:24
In February 2022, SpaceX and entrepreneur/philanthropist Jared Isaacman (commander of the Inspiration4 mission) announced they were launching a new program to "rapidly advance human spaceflight capabilities" while supporting important charitable and humanitarian causes here on Earth. It's called the Polaris Program.
In a recent press release, SpaceX revealed the spacesuits its Polaris astronauts will be wearing and described the research that the crews will conduct during the program's three human spaceflight missions—the first of which is scheduled to launch this summer.
These missions will build on the company's experience with NASA's Commercial Crew Delivery (CCD) program, where NASA certified SpaceX's Crew Dragon vehicle to transport crews to the International Space Station (ISS). According to the company's press statement, the new suits are an evolution of the Intravehicular Activity (IVA) suit currently used by Dragon crews. This included the crew of the Demo-2 mission, which validated the flight system and was the first crewed mission to take off from U.S.
