S1 – Minor solar radiation storm in progress
An S1 – Minor solar radiation storm has been in progress since 02:50 UTC on July 23, 2024, and is expected to continue through the rest of the day and possibly into July 24.
Two Earth-directed CMEs, G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm watch in effect
Two Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CME) were produced over the past 3 days. The estimated time of arrival to Earth is late July 23 to midday July 24, 2024. A G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm watch is in effect.
Powerful X1.9 solar flare erupts, producing strong CME
A powerful solar flare measuring X1.9 erupted from departing Active Region 3738 at 13:26 UTC on July 16, 2024. The event started at 13:11 and ended at 13:36 UTC.
Major X1.2 solar flare erupts from AR 3738
A major solar flare measuring X1.2 erupted from Active Region 3738 at 02:34 UTC on July 14, 2024. The event started at 02:23 and ended at 02:48 UTC.
Study reveals major impacts of G5 – Extreme geomagnetic storm on satellite operations in May 2024
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) investigated the significant impacts and scientific insights from the May 2024 G5 – Extreme geomagnetic storm and how it impacted satellite operations and atmospheric activities.
G4 – Severe geomagnetic storm in progress
A coronal mass ejection (CME) produced on June 25, 2024, impacted Earth shortly after 09:30 UTC on June 28, producing G4 – Severe geomagnetic storm.
Old region 3664 returns with M9.3 solar flare
Old region 3664/3697 — the source of multiple Earth-directed CMEs and G5 – Extreme geomagnetic storming in May, has returned to Earth-view with a strong M9.3 solar flare at 13:01 UTC on June 23, 2024. The region is now numbered 3723. The event started at 12:51 and ended at 13:11 UTC.
Epic solar storm impacts Mars
May 2024 saw increased solar activity, leading to numerous significant events including a rare G5 – Severe geomagnetic storm and a powerful solar flare directed at Mars on May 20. This event, estimated at X12, sent X-rays, gamma rays, and charged particles toward the red planet, providing valuable data for future Mars missions.
G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm watch, X1.5 flare erupts from departing Region 3697
A G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for June 10, 2024, due to the anticipated arrival of coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by a long-duration M9.7 solar flare on June 8.
Strong solar radiation storm in progress after M9.7 solar flare produced large CME
A strong, long-duration solar flare measuring M9.7 erupted from Active Region 3697 at 01:49 UTC on June 8, 2024. The event started at 01:23 and ended at 02:19 UTC, producing a strong CME. Shortly after, solar radiation storming began on Earth, reaching the S3 – Strong threshold at 08:00 UTC.
