• 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

  • Multiple CMEs observed from central region on the Sun

    Solar activity was at moderate levels in last 24 hours (12:30 UTC). Region 1974 (S13W05, Fsc/beta-gamma-delta) continued to exhibit growth and separation in the intermediate spots, and was responsible for the majority of the flare activity throughout the

  • Sunday's CME sparked moderate (G2) geomagnetic storming

    A G2 geomagnetic storm is now in progress following CME impact on Earth's magnetic field early on October 2, 2013. The ACE spacecraft detected a solar wind increase to above 600 km/s and the Bz component (IMF) initially tipped sharply south to -19nT.
