Our planet is under the influence of positive polarity coronal hole today which is causing enhanced geomagnetic conditions. Geomagnetic K-index of 6 (G2-Moderate geomagnetic storm) threshold was first reached at 05:17 UTC today. Geomagnetic K-index of 7 (G3 – Strong…
Typhoon "Mujigae", known as Kabayan in the Philippines, was rapidly intensifying before it hit southern China early Sunday, October 4, 2015. Mujigae was bringing powerful winds and heavy rain as it approached China, prompting officials to issue red alerts….
Newly discovered comet C/2013 US10 Catalina may reach naked eye visibility on October 1, 2015; it will continue to brighten and could reach magnitude 5 by November 6. Draconid meteor shower is scheduled to peak on October 8 with only about 10 meteors per hour. The…
New activity/unrest was observed at 4 volcanoes from September 23 – 29, 2015. During the same period, ongoing activity was observed at 15 volcanoes. New activity/unrest: Aira, Kyushu (Japan) | Nevado del Ruiz, Colombia | Piton de la Fournaise, Reunion Island…
After four days of increased solar activity, multiple Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) were finally observed as a part of an overarching set of coronal disruptions from the vicinity of Region 2420 and stretching southward towards Region 2422, and towards the western…
Solar activity started increasing on September 27 with M1.9 flare from geoeffective Region 2422 and continued on September 28 with several impulsive flares from Region 2422 (M7.6) and 2423 (M3.6).During the early morning hours of September 29th (by 06:43 UTC) those two
An impulsive solar flare measuring M7.6 erupted at 14:58 UTC on September 28, 2015 from geoeffective Active Region 2422. The event started at 14:53, and ended at 15:03 UTC. There were no radio signatures that would suggest a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was produced duri
An impulsive solar flare measuring M3.6 at its peak time erupted at 03:55 UTC on September 28, 2015 from Active Region 2423 located near the west limb. The event started at 03:45 and ended at 03:59 UTC. Impulsive solar flares usually don't produce Coronal Mass Eject
Active Region 2422, located almost at the center of the solar disk, erupted with M1.9 solar flare at 10:40 UTC on September 27, 2015. The event started at 10:20 and ended at 10:46 UTC.This region has 'Beta-Gamma-Delta' magnetic configuration and is capable of pr
A major sinkhole has opened up at Inskip Point in Queensland, Australia around 13:00 UTC on Saturday, September 26, 2015 (23:00 local time). Police and SES crews were quickly on site, helping those in the immediate vicinity to leave, ABC reported. "A car,…
