• Moderately strong M4.3 solar flare erupts from southeast limb

    An impulsive solar flare measuring M4.3 at its peak time erupted from the southeast limb of the Sun on October 16, 2014. The event started at 12:58, peaked at 13:03 and ended at 13:05 UTC.A 10cm Radio Burst (TenFlare) lasting 1 minute (180 sfu) was associated with the e

  • Spectacular long duration eruption beyond the east limb

    Solar activity reached moderate levels during last 24 hours (by 12:30 UTC today) with impulsive M1.1 solar flare (R1 radio blackout) at 18:37 UTC on October 14. This event had an associated Tenflare (1300 sfu), but no other CME related radio signatures. The flare appear

  • Three M-class solar flares erupted from southwest quadrant

    Two M-class solar flares erupted from Region 2182 early Thursday, October 9, 2014. The first event started at 01:30, peaked at 01:41 UTC as M1.3 solar flare and ended at 01:47.The second M-class erupted immediately after the M1.3.It started at 01:54, peaked at 01:58 as

  • Strong M7.3 solar flare erupted from southwest limb

    Departing region 2173 erupted with strong M7.3 solar flare at 19:01 UTC on October 2, 2014. The event started at 18:49 and ended at 19:14 UTC.Due to the location of this region Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is not expected. SWPC forecasters estimate 45% cha

  • Dynamic auroras visible for the fifth day in a row

    For the 5th day in a row a crack in the Earth's magnetosphere is allowing solar wind to reach Earth. Although a full geomagnetic storm is not required to generate auroras at this time of the year, coronal hole effects and multiple solar sector changes currently affe

  • Moderately strong M5.1 solar flare erupted

    A moderately strong M5.1 solar flared erupted around Sunspots 2172 and 2173 at 02:58 UTC on September 28, 2014. The event was associated with a Type II and Type IV Radio Emissions, along with a 10cm Radio Burst (TenFlare). GOES X-Ray flux and SDO's AIA 094 image

  • Impulsive solar flare measuring M2.3 erupts

    Impulsive solar flare reaching M2.3 at its peak time erupted on September 23, 2014. The event started at 23:03, peaked at 23:16 and ended at 23:28 UTC.The source was Active Region 2172 (beta-gamma) located in the southeast quadrant.The event was associated with 250 sfu

  • Impulsive M2.1 solar flare erupted off the east limb

    A moderately strong solar flare reaching M2.1 at its peak time erupted from a region located off the east limb today. The event started at 15:20, peaked at 15:26 and ended at 15:31 UTC.If CME was generated by this eruption Earth directed component is very unlikely. Howe

  • Two CMEs heading toward Earth, severe geomagnetic storms expected

    There are currently two Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) heading toward our planet and their combined arrival is expected to spark severe geomagnetic storms.The first one, released by the long duration M4.5 solar flare on September 9, is expected to hit Earth's magneti
