Will the Northern Lights Affect Your Zodiac Sign? What to Know

The intensity of these magnetic storms could impact us energetically and heighten our emotional sensitivity

Keep your eyes on the sky this weekend! The northern lights are said to cast their luminous glow across parts of the United States, which raises the question: Could this colorful spectacle affect your zodiac sign ?

Also known as the aurora borealis, the northern lights have captivated people for centuries with their mesmerizing display of colorful lights. This celestial phenomenon occurs when supercharged particles from the sun collide with the Earth's upper atmosphere, causing bursts of light. However, thanks to our planet's protective magnetic field, these energized particles — which "slam into Earth's upper atmosphere at speeds of up to 45 million mph," as per Space.com — are redirected toward the North and South poles.

(Bloomberg) -- AT⁘T Inc. and satellite provider AST SpaceMobile Inc. are teaming up to provide wireless service from space — a challenge to Elon Musk's SpaceX, which struck a similar deal two years ago with T-Mobile US Inc. AST SpaceMobile jumped in extended trading on the news.

AT⁘T and AST SpaceMobile formalized the partnership following an earlier testing period, the companies said Wednesday in a statement. They said their agreement to build a space-based broadband network will run through 2030. AT⁘T head of network Chris Sambar will join the AST SpaceMobile board, deepening a relationship that dates back to at least 2018.

Sambar said in an interview that his team is confident in AST SpaceMobile's technology, as demonstrated by the performance of the BlueWalker 3 test satellite. The relationship is moving from "loose partner to a strategic partner," he said.

Wireless providers are in a race to offer connections for the world's estimated 5 billion mobile phones when those devices are in remote areas beyond the reach of cell towers. For consumers, these services hold the promise of connectivity along rural roads and in places likes national parks. The service is typically marketed as a supplement to standard wireless coverage.

The new network will work with ordinary mobile phones, offering a level of convenience that's lacking in current call-via-satellite services, which require the assistance of bulky specialized equipment.

Shares of Midland, Texas-based AST SpaceMobile gained about 35% to $3.25 in extended trading after closing at $2.39 in New York. AT⁘T was little changed.

AST SpaceMobile will deliver five satellites to Cape Canaveral, Florida, in July or August with launch on a SpaceX rocket expected "shortly thereafter," Scott Wisniewski, SpaceMobile's chief strategy officer, said in an interview.

The satellites will be operational about three months after launch, he said. Because the satellites fly around the Earth quickly, they will be overhead and in position to relay signals a few times a day. It will take 45 to 60 spacecraft to offer continuous service, Wisniewski said.
