A solar wind stream is buffeting Earth’s magnetic field and this is causing geomagnetic storm. A coronal mass ejection (CME) The Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) reported on Jan 19, finally impacted our geomagnetic field with a glancing blow early this morning.hit
NOAA/SWPC have determined that the CME from Active Region 1402 near disk center from the latest M3 solar flare will likely pass above (north) of Earth. This glancing blow will cause just G1 (Minor) Geomagnetic Storm activity. We can expect first signs starting from
The long-duration blast at active region 1402 produced M3.2 solar flare and CME which is heading toward Earth. This was two-wave flare and first CME wave was overtaken by the 2nd wave due to its higher speed velocity.The major bulk of the plasma cloud appears to be
Recently formed sunspot 1401 awoke yesterday afternoon and produced an M1.7 solar flare at 19:12 UTC. AR 1401 has a Beta-Gamma magnetic configuration which could lead to further solar flares. NOAA forecasters estimate a 15% to 20% chance of polar geomagnetic storms
A very long in duration C6.4 event was detected around Sunspot 1402 in the northeast quadrant. A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was produced, but is directed to the north and east. Most of the magnetic activity in this event appears to be above the actual
The dark vertical coronal hole, about 120,000 km wide and more than a million km long, stretches in the center of the Sun. A solar wind stream flowing from the indicated coronal hole should reach Earth on Jan. 16-17, possibly sparking auroras at
NASA’s STEREO-Behind spacecraft observed a significant eruption on the farside of the sun today. Although the blast was eclipsed by the edge of the solar disk, it nevertheless produced a long-duration C3 solar flare detectable from Earth. The blast site is not far
Sunspot 1393 is growing rapidly, more than tripling in area since Friday. So far, however, the active region has not produced any strong flares. Solar activity remains low.Solar activity increased somewhat, with a solar flare detected around Sunspot 1386 off the
A magnetic filament in the sun’s northern hemisphere erupted on Jan. 5th and hurled a CME in the general direction of Earth. At first it appeared that the CME would sail north of Earth and completely miss our planet. However, analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab
Sunspot 1384, currently located just behind the sun’s western limb, erupted today around 14:45 UTC. It registered as a long duration C2.4 flare and it appears to be connected to magnetic filaments snaking over the horizon to the Earthside of the sun. This event
