A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) unleashed by solar filament eruption on August 15 started interacting with Earth's magnetic field around 07:00 UTC on August 19 causing, at first, only a minor instability.As the Earth passed through the plasma cloud the effects in

Geomagnetic storm reaching G2 – Moderate levels in progress

Solar filament eruption on June 4th unleashed a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) which partially hit Earth's magnetic field at 16:57 UTC on June 7, 2014. The impact sparked minor geomagnetic storming which increased by the morning of June 8th. Geomagnetic K-index of

Subsiding geomagnetic and solar radiation storms

Geomagnetic storm sparked by a combination of CMEs from last couple of days is now subsiding. We might still see uptick today but it will most likely remain below G1 levels.At 10:57 UTC on April 20, a 24 nT geomagnetic sudden impulse (interplanet

CME impact causes minor increase in geomagnetic activity

CME impact causes minor increase in geomagnetic activity

A geomagnetic sudden impulse, indicating the arrival of the March 23 CME, was observed at the Hartland magnetometer (23 nT) at 20:09 UTC on March 25.

The geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to active levels (below G1-Minor) early on March 26 as CME

Near X-class solar flare and geomagnetic storm – M9.3

Near X-class solar flare and geomagnetic storm – M9.3

Near X-class solar flare reaching M9.3 erupted from departing Sunspot 1996 on March 12, 2013 at 22:34 UTC.

This decaying sunspot is located near eastern limb and generated CME was not geoeffective, however, it produced a R2 (Moderate) Solar Flare Radio Blackout

As forecasted yesterday Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field around 03:00 UTC today. That's a second CME impact within 24 hours, and another round of auroras. 

SWPC issued Geomagnetic K-index of 6 (G2 – Moderate) alert at 05:28

Unexpected geomagnetic storming underway, reaching G2 (moderate) levels

Unexpected geomagnetic storming underway, reaching G2 (moderate) levels

Earth is currently under the influence of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) and G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storming has been observed. According to SWPC, this is likely the result of what was expected to be a near miss from an event originally observed on
