An active region in the Sun’s far-southern hemisphere erupted on March 23, 2013 around 13:00 UTC hurling bright Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) toward the Venus. A glancing impact is expected on March 25th. Venus has no global magnetic field to protect it from CME’s so the
The American Meteor Society received over 600 reports of bright meteor that lit up the sky over eastern US and parts of Canada on Friday, March 22, 2013. Reports of this meteor, bright enough to be called fireball, started coming in around 8 pm EDT (midnight UTC). It w

Region 1692 erupted with long duration M-class solar flare peaking at 06:50 UTC as M1.2 solar flare on March 15, 2013. The event started at 05:52 and ended at 07:30 UTC. A Full-Halo Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed and it looks to be Earth directed.A 10cm
“Understanding interaction between the Earth’s magnetic field, or magnetosphere, and its upper atmosphere – known as the thermosphere/ionosphere – is especially important this year and in 2014, said Yue Deng, an assistant physics professor at University of Texas.
A long duration C-class solar flare erupted from Region 1690 on March 12, 2013. The event started at 10:17, peaked ad 11:06 as C2.0 flare and ended at 12:25 UTC. A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was produced. Region 1690 still has Alpha magnetic configuration, but its
New studies have shown that Japan’s “Tohoku earthquake” (March 11, 2011) was also felt and measured high above the Earth’s surface by ESA’s GOCE gravity satellite. This hyper-sensitive instrument is now known as the world’s first “seismometer in space” but it is more
