Northern Lights Tonight? NOAA says aurora could reach New York as solar storm lingers

Northern Lights Tonight? NOAA says aurora could reach New York as solar storm lingers

U.S. space weather forecasters extended geomagnetic storm warnings on Wednesday, indicating auroras might be visible farther south than normal—potentially reaching as low as New York—as the aftermath of a strong solar eruption persisted. NOAA alerts recorded a severe event late Tuesday, with auroras possibly visible as far south as Alabama and northern California, though forecasts predict weaker activity later in the week. The revived “night sky tonight” craze has a catch: geomagnetic storms can mess with satellites, navigation signals, and radio communications, even as they provide a rare spectacle for stargazers. Shawn Dahl, a service coordinator at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, noted that the current storm’s strength hasn’t been witnessed in over twenty years.

Moon phase today: Exact waxing crescent for Jan. 21 — plus what it means for tonight

Moon phase today: Exact waxing crescent for Jan. 21 — plus what it means for tonight

Today’s moon is a waxing crescent, with about 9% of its surface lit over New York near midday, according to timeanddate.com. The last new moon happened on Jan. 18 at 2:51 p.m. local time, and the first quarter is set for late on Jan. 25 at 11:47 p.m., per the site’s lunar calendar. This matters because the moon remains thin enough that much of the late evening stays darker than it will later this month, making it easier for stargazers and night-sky photographers to spot faint stars. EarthSky pointed out the crescent will hang low in the western sky after sunset and added that the moon will pass by Saturn on Jan. 22 and 23 during the early evening.

NASA interrupts TESS survey to track interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as SPHEREx spots stronger gases

NASA interrupts TESS survey to track interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as SPHEREx spots stronger gases

NASA has retasked its Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite to run a special observation of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, temporarily interrupting its Sector 99 schedule, the agency said. The Jan. 15–22 pointing will deliver continuous photometry — precise brightness measurements — and NASA said the data will be calibrated and publicly archived with no proprietary period. The move reflects a short window. NASA says 3I/ATLAS is only the third known interstellar object — after 1I/'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov — and its hyperbolic track means it will not stay bound to the sun. It poses no danger to Earth and should remain observable with a small telescope into spring, NASA says.

Honor’s Magic 8 Pro is already being hailed as a strong contender against Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra. Reviewers highlight its telephoto camera and display as standout features, though availability remains a major concern for potential buyers. Android Central also compared the phone to Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max and OnePlus’s 15, placing it firmly in the premium category. It’s a big deal now as the high-end Android scene shrinks to a battle over fewer, pricier models. Manufacturers are pushing camera tech, AI perks, and extended software updates to justify prices north of $1,000. Even minor changes in availability can make or break a phone’s chances of getting noticed.

Android 17 is coming: Google’s latest Android updates offer fresh clues

Android 17 is coming: Google’s latest Android updates offer fresh clues

Google rolled out a new batch of “Google system services” release notes this week—those behind-the-scenes updates that keep Android ticking—as buzz grows about the upcoming Android 17 release. According to Google, these updates focus on boosting the security and reliability of Android devices, while also delivering fresh features via components like Google Play services, the Play Store, and WebView. The latest notes highlight a key point for developers and handset makers: Android pushes more changes via updatable system components instead of one big yearly software release. As 9to5Google pointed out, just because a feature appears in the changelog “does not mean it’s widely available,” since rollouts can take months and differ by device.

Sergey Brin says Google hires “tons” without degrees as AI shakes Silicon Valley hiring

Sergey Brin says Google hires “tons” without degrees as AI shakes Silicon Valley hiring

Google co-founder Sergey Brin said the company has hired “tons” of workers without bachelor’s degrees, marking a clear move away from the usual four-year degree requirement in tech hiring. Data from the Burning Glass Institute shows Google’s job listings demanding a degree fell from 93% in 2017 to 77% in 2022. The debate is intensifying as artificial intelligence—software capable of generating text and code—moves from novelty to everyday utility. Students are beginning to question whether a computer science degree still holds its value. According to a Times of India education report published Tuesday, Brin and other tech leaders emphasized that math and core computer science skills remain essential, even as AI automates more routine tasks.

Severe solar storm alert: NASA tracks CME as NOAA upgrades G4 geomagnetic storm

Severe solar storm alert: NASA tracks CME as NOAA upgrades G4 geomagnetic storm

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center said a severe geomagnetic storm hit the agency’s G4 level early Tuesday, with storm conditions logged at 3:23 a.m. and again at 5:21 a.m. Eastern time. Why it matters now: NOAA said a severe S4 solar radiation storm was also under way, a rare category that can raise radiation exposure risk for astronauts and for flights that use polar routes. It also cited higher risk for satellites and space launch systems and potential loss of over-the-horizon high-frequency radio links in polar regions.

Google’s ‘high-friction’ Android sideloading is coming — what it means for Play Store users

Google is gearing up to make installing Android apps from outside the Play Store more difficult, aiming to clamp down on scams that trick users into sideloading. A Google Play executive called the new process “high-friction” and emphasized it’s meant as an “Accountability Layer,” not an outright ban. Sideloading—installing apps from outside official stores, usually through APK files—has long been a draw for Android power users and developers. But it’s also a common tactic scammers exploit, pressuring victims into downloading malware.

OpenAI says revenue run-rate topped $20B in 2025 as ChatGPT ads and enterprise deals move in

OpenAI announced its annualized revenue topped $20 billion in 2025, more than tripling compared to the previous year, driven by increased computing power for training and operating its models. CFO Sarah Friar revealed the numbers in a blog post. The figure represents a run-rate, not a prediction — it annualizes recent revenue in a cash-heavy business investing in chips, data centers, and power. Friar noted that OpenAI’s compute demand jumped from 0.2 gigawatts in 2023 to roughly 1.9 gigawatts by 2025, with annual recurring revenue soaring from $2 billion to more than $20 billion in that timeframe.

SpaceX IPO watch: New report says a listing could jolt space-tech funding in 2026

Private investment in space tech looks set to climb again in 2026, driven largely by the possibility of a SpaceX IPO, according to investment firm Seraphim Space on Monday. “A potential SpaceX IPO could act as a powerful catalyst,” said Lucas Bishop, an analyst at Seraphim Space. The timing matters less because of rockets and more because money is finally finding a clear price. Space startups have relied on private funding for years, and a SpaceX public listing would offer investors a benchmark in the public markets for valuing launch services and satellite broadband.

Northern Lights Could Reach Farther South Tonight After NOAA Flags Severe Solar Storm

Northern Lights Could Reach Farther South Tonight After NOAA Flags Severe Solar Storm

U.S. space weather forecasters said severe geomagnetic storm levels were reached early Tuesday, raising the odds that the northern lights will be visible far beyond their usual Arctic zone on the night sky of Jan. 20. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center said G4 levels were observed again at 3:23 a.m. and 5:21 a.m. EST after first hitting that threshold on Monday afternoon. The storm matters for more than skywatchers. NOAA said a severe solar radiation storm was also in progress, a rare event that can raise radiation exposure risks for astronauts and flights on polar routes, and increase threats to satellites and space launch systems. The agency said it had notified airlines, the FAA, NASA, FEMA and the North American

Comet 3I/ATLAS suddenly looks “fully active” — and astronomers say the window is closing

Comet 3I/ATLAS suddenly looks “fully active” — and astronomers say the window is closing

NASA’s SPHEREx space telescope detected that interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has entered a noticeably more active phase following its closest approach to the Sun, called perihelion. Carey Lisse from Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory called it “a much more active object.” The timing is crucial because this visitor ranks among the rarest targets astronomers have tracked. NASA notes that 3I/ATLAS is only the third confirmed interstellar object spotted in our solar system, following 1I/‘Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov. It’s moving on a hyperbolic trajectory—too fast for the Sun’s gravity to capture. NASA confirms it posed no threat to Earth, passing about 1.8 astronomical units away on Dec. 19, and it’s expected to swing past Jupiter in March as it heads out.
