A Sun-Diving was caught on the Soho satellite feed April 23rd, shortly after the comet’s death plunge a large Halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was observed and appears to have earth directed components. Impact on the earths magnetic field is expected sometime April
A long-lasting Geomagnetic Storm that reached very close to the Strong G3 Level (Kp =6) took place Monday night and early Tuesday morning. Ham Radio operators were able to make numerous contacts via the Aurora on the 6 meter (50mhz) amateur radio band. This storm was
A Minor Geomagnetic Storm (Kp=5) is now in progress at high latitudes. This is due to a south tilting component of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) combined with an elevated solar wind speed. An incoming CME shock swept past our planet at 03:25 UTC. A
A incoming CME shock swept past our planet at 03:25 UTC. A geomagnetic sudden impulse of 31 nT was detected by the Boulder, Colorado magnetometer. The ACE Spacecraft did show a solar wind increase to near 400 km/s. Minor geomagnetic activity will be possible at very
While scientists had predicted that the next flip would begin from May 2013, the solar observation satellite Hinode found that the north pole of the sun had started flipping about a year earlier than expected. There was no noticeable change in the south pole.The
On April 18th and 19th, a series of minor CMEs puffed away from the sun. Three of them are heading in our general direction. Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab have prepared an animated forecast track of the ensemble:According to the forecast, the clouds are
A volley of C-class solar flares sent waves of ionization rippling through the atmosphere high over Europe. Dave Gradwell of Birr, Ireland, detected the disturbances using a VLF radio monitoring system:Below is a video by STEREO Ahead COR2 and Lasco C3 showing
Solar activity is near moderate levels with C-Class flares being detected around a new sunspot that was quickly formed in the southern hemisphere on Tuesday and was numbered 1462.. Another region is forming just to the west of that location and is currently producing
A moderate solar flare reaching M1.7 took place at 17:45 UTC on April 16th. The eruption was centered around a returning region near the northeast limb. It was one of the most visually-spectacular explosions in years according to SpaceWeather.com. Generated CME was
Solar activity has been low and Sunspot 1450 is about to rotate onto the western limb. With Sunspot 1452 struggling to remain visible, the Earth facing side of the Sun is at risk of being spotless for the first time in over 230 days. Old Sunspot 1440 rotated onto the
