SINGAPORE: An orange vertical line in the sky on Sunday (Dec 10) – which was visible from several areas in the north – sparked bewilderment and curiosity as Singaporeans quickly captured the moment with their cameras and uploaded it to social media platforms.
One such post, which was uploaded on Facebook group CloudSpotting and SkySpotting Singapore, caught the attention of hundreds of people.

Several comments on her post joked about how it might have been the handiwork of fictional characters such as Dr Strange – a character from Marvel – opening a portal in the sky, just like the orange portals he opens in the movies.
Others said, tongue in cheek, that the light pillar may be a sign of “the end of the world”.
Assistant Professor Wang Jingyu from the National Institute of Education told ST on Dec 13 that “the orange light alone does not necessarily indicate a cause for caution or alarm”. He noted similar events, like the orange flare that appeared over Texas on a night in March 2022, and said that “it is simply a wonder of nature”.

Prof Wang, who holds a PhD in atmospheric sciences, said such lights are usually a reflection of sunlight during sunset or surface flares at night against a specific shape of ice crystals in the atmosphere.
He said ice crystals can exist in nature in various forms, such as bullet rosettes, needles, plates and dendrites. “However, only plate-shaped ice crystals have the potential to generate this phenomenon,” he said.
Calling it an “extremely rare phenomenon in the sky”, he said it is highly possible that the light witnessed on Dec 10 was a reflection of flares originating from oil refineries in Johor.
“When a substantial number of these plate-shaped crystals are present in the atmosphere, they act like a colossal mirror, (perfectly aligned at a height to be) reflecting light,” he said. - The Straits Times/ANN

NOAA alert: Strongest solar flare event ever recorded will soon cause disruptions on Earth
ByEric Ralls

The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a geomagnetic storm warning on the heels of a massive solar event this morning. This solar flare stands as the largest of this solar cycle and the biggest since the X8.2 flare observed at GOES-15 on Sep 10, 2017. This also likely ranks as one of the largest solar radio events ever recorded.
Meteorologists predict moderate space weather for the next 24 hours, with geomagnetic storms likely to reach G2 level. Expect solar radiation storms to hit S1 level and radio blackouts to likely reach R2 level.
From the beginning until the middle of December 16, weather should remain quiet to unsettled. However, multiple CMEs from December 14-15 will likely arrive by mid to late December 16, increasing conditions to G2 (Moderate) and possibly to G3 (Strong). Storming should continue into December 17 and gradually decrease through December 18 as the effects of the CMEs persist.
*** Update — December 15, 2023, 20:25 EST ***
Multiple coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from December 14 and December 15 are likely to cause G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) geomagnetic storm conditions on December 16 through December 18, 2023.
Solar activity is likely to be moderate (R1-R2/Minor-Moderate) with a chance for X-class flares (R3/Strong) on December 16-18 due primarily to the flare potential of Region 3514.
Over the past 24 hours, radio blackouts have escalated to R3 levels, with the most severe occurring on December 14, 2023, at 1702 UTC. It is anticipated that by the early hours of December 16, there will be an additional increase due to the effects of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from a partial halo event that occurred on December 12.
