A stream of high-speed solar wind coming from a recurrent, polar-connected, positive-polarity coronal hole is affecting our planet today and causing geomagnetic storming. G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm levels were reached at 08:48 UTC and increased to G2 – Moderate…
Our planet is under the influence of a positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) which is causing isolated periods of G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storming. Geomagnetic K-index of 5 (G1 – Minor) geomagnetic storm threshold was reached at 15:43 UTC. G2 -…
A major X8.2 solar flare that erupted at 16:06 UTC on September 10, 2017 from Region 2673, produced a powerful asymmetric full halo Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) and it appears one part of it is heading toward Earth. A glancing blow is expected late on September 13….
A powerful X8.2 solar flare erupted from Region 2673, located just around the visible disk, at 16:06 UTC on September 10, 2017, causing R3 – Strong radio blackout and a rapid increase in relativistic proton levels. Within just 3 hours, solar radiation storm reached…
A major solar flare measuring X8.2 (R3-Strong radio blackout) at its peak time erupted from Active Region 2673 at 16:06 UTC on September 10, 2017. The event started at 16:44, peaked at 16:06 and ended at 16:31 UTC. This is the 4th X-class solar flare from this…
A strong solar flare measuring M8.1 at its peak erupted from Active Region 2673 at 07:49 UTC on September 8, 2017. The event started at 07:40 and ended at 07:58 UTC. This is the third M-class solar flare of the day and the 18th since September 4, when the first…
A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) produced by the X9.3 solar flare on September 6, 2017, reached our planet at 23:04 UTC on September 7, 2017, a full day earlier than it was expected. G3 – Strong geomagnetic storming started 23:25 and increased to G4 – Severe at 23:50…
A major solar flare measuring X1.3 at its peak time erupted from Region 2673 at 14:36 UTC on September 7, 2017. The event started at 14:20, peaked at 14:36 and ended at 14:55 UTC. This is the third X-class solar flare since X2.2 at 09:10 UTC and X9.3 at 12:02 UTC on…
An impulsive solar flare measuring M7.3 at its peak time erupted from Region 2673 at 10:15 UTC on September 7, 2017. The event started at 10:11, peaked at 10:15 and ended at 10:18 UTC. It comes a day after two major X-class solar flares erupted from the same region….
The coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by the M5.5 solar flare on September 4, 2017 arrived at the DSCOVR spacecraft on September 6 at 23:08 UTC and at Earth 30 minutes later. The impact did not spark a geomagnetic storm, but the potential still exists as the CME…
