• Filament eruption produces Earth-directed CME; S1 – Minor solar radiation storm in progres

    Early on Sunday, September 8, 2024 (UTC), a magnetic filament erupted from the Sun’s northwest quadrant (N16W22), releasing an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME). The CME is expected to impact Earth on September 10, potentially triggering a G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm. Concurrently, heightened activity near the Sun’s west limb has caused a sharp increase in proton levels, resulting in an S1 – Minor solar radiation storm at 08:50 UTC today.

  • G5 – Extreme geomagnetic storm following strong CME impact

    The first of several incoming coronal mass ejections (CMEs) impacted Earth at around 16:56 UTC on May 10, 2024, rapidly increasing geomagnetic field levels from unsettled to G4 – Severe by 17:44 and to G5 – Extreme by 23:34 UTC — something we haven’t seen since 2003.
