The long-duration blast at active region 1402 produced M3.2 solar flare and CME which is heading toward Earth. This was two-wave flare and first CME wave was overtaken by the 2nd wave due to its higher speed velocity.The major bulk of the plasma cloud appears to be
The dust plumes that arose in the western Sahara Desert on January 18, 2012, continued their westward journey the following day. A giant crescent-shaped dust plume was seen over the Atlantic Ocean on January 19. The plume spans several hundred kilometers. Off the
Recently formed sunspot 1401 awoke yesterday afternoon and produced an M1.7 solar flare at 19:12 UTC. AR 1401 has a Beta-Gamma magnetic configuration which could lead to further solar flares. NOAA forecasters estimate a 15% to 20% chance of polar geomagnetic storms
Gamburtsev Mountains (East Antarctic) are the most unique of all mounatins on Earth because they lie below the surface of the Earth! Valleys dotted with an interconnected lake system and a sheet of Antarctic ice is without doubt the most peculiar mountain system ever
A very long in duration C6.4 event was detected around Sunspot 1402 in the northeast quadrant. A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was produced, but is directed to the north and east. Most of the magnetic activity in this event appears to be above the actual
Twenty-five volcanoes in Indonesia have been put in alert or watch status. Mount Marapi and Mount Talang in West Sumatra are still under alert status. Mount Marapi is located in Agam and Tanahdatar districts and rises 2891 meters above sea level and Mount Talang
The Phobos-Grunt re-entry story is finally over. According to Russian news reports a failed probe crashed over the Pacific Ocean. Latest reports indicate that Phobos-Grunt spacecraft fell around 17:45 UTC on January 15 slamming into the atmosphere over a stretch of
Very strong earthquake magnitude 6.6 struck near Elephant Island, South Shetland Islands in Antarctic region. There are no people living within a radius of several hundred km. According to USGS magnitude 6.6 occur 539 km (334 miles) West of Coronation Island,
Before you start to use any of satellite tracking applications make sure that the computer clock is correct and the time zone is compatible with your Region. The latest Phobos-Grunt orbit data is here. Below are some important data.USSPACECOM Catalog
The dark vertical coronal hole, about 120,000 km wide and more than a million km long, stretches in the center of the Sun. A solar wind stream flowing from the indicated coronal hole should reach Earth on Jan. 16-17, possibly sparking auroras at
