Learn what forecasters expect, why storm strength can change at the last minute, and what it means for space weather today. Auroras may reach mid-latitudes - A strong geomagnetic storm could expand the auroral oval, making northern lights visible much farther from the poles than usual. We cover practical viewing expectations and the real-world impacts to satellites, GPS, radio, and power-grid operations. Venus and Jupiter close conjunction - Venus and Jupiter are putting on one of the easiest skywatching events of the year, appearing unusually close in the western twilight. Here’s when to look, what you’ll see with the naked eye, and how Mercury and the Moon add to the show later in June.
