A CME hit Earth’s magnetic field on Feb. 26th at ~2100 UTC. The impact was weak and does not appear set to cause a strong geomagnetic storm according to SpaceWeather. A solar wind increase to near 550 km/s was detected by the ACE Spacecraft around 20:50 UTC. A
The CME cloud launched from the Sun on February 24th should reach Earth today, Feb. 26th around 13:30 UTC, according to analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab. A filament of magnetism erupted at the sun’s northeastern limb on February 24th and hurled CME into
The eruption of a magnetic filament at the sun’s northeastern limb split the sun’s atmosphere during the early hours of February 24th, creating a “canyon of fire”. The glowing walls of the canyon are formed in a process closely related to that of arcade loops, which
A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is seen in the latest STEREO Ahead COR2 images on Thursday morning, and the source appears to be a filament channel eruption near region 1419 in the northwest quadrant. After a close look, the expanding cloud appears to be directed mostly
An expected solar wind stream hit Earth’s magnetic field during the waning hours of Saturday, Feb. 18th producing bright auroras all the way down into several US states including Wisconsin, Michigan, North Dakota, and Minnesota. The Bz is pointing South at times
On February 10th there was filament eruption in the northern hemisphere that produced CME which traveled few days before reaching our magnetosphere on February 14. As magnetic disturbance rippled around the Arctic circle on February 14th, it opened a crack in our
The expected CME impact sparked aurora lights around the Arctic Circle on Feb. 14th. The display was probably caused by a CME, launched from the sun on Feb. 10th. Solar wind poured in and fueled a G1-class geomagnetic storm (Kp index was at level 5). Our
A disturbance rippled through Earth’s magnetic field on Feb. 14th. On several occasions the sky was full of auroras from horizon to horizon, said photographer and aurora tour guide Chad Blakley of Abisko National Park, Sweden for Spaceweather.com.An update to the
After two-week long transit around the far side of the Sun, Sunspot 1402 has returned into view in the northeast quadrant. Sunspot 1402 is now re-numbered as Sunspot 1419. This region is smaller than it was before, after two weeks of decay. On January 27 it unleashed
Coronal mass ejection (CME) is seen in the latest images, as the result of a filament lifting off in the northern hemisphere. Geomagnetic field activity is expected to increase to unsettled to active levels, with high latitude minor storm intervals. It could produce
