Earth is currently under the influence of S1 (minor) solar radiation storm created as a result of yesterday's M7.3 solar flare. Our planet is showered with highly energetic solar particles (primarily protons) released from the flare site. Extende
A strong, long duration, solar flare measuring M7.3 erupted from Region 2036 on April 18, 2014. This event started at 12:31, peaked at 13:03 and ended at 13:20 UTC.R2 Moderate radio blackout threshold was reached at 12:55 UTC – limited black
Moderately strong solar flare measuring M1.0 erupted from Region 2035 (S17E18, Fkc/beta-gamma) on April 16, 2014. This event started at 19:54, peaked at 19:59 and ended at 20:04 UTC. A Type II Radio Emission with estimated velocity of 1071 km/s was a
During the late hours of April 11 the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) tipped south and opened a crack in Earth's magnetosphere. Our planet is now under the influence of coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS). CH HSS effects are expected to begin subsiding
A coronal hole high-speed stream (CH HSS) from a pair of coronal holes straddling the Sun's equator is predicted to become geoeffective beginning around midday on April 12 with an increase in solar wind speed expected along with enhancements in the In
Strong, long duration, solar flare measuring M6.5 erupted from Region 2027 on April 2, 2014. The event started at 13:18, peaked at 14:05 and ended at 14:28 UTC.
A Type II and IV Radio Emission with estimated velocity of 903 km/h were observed
A moderately strong solar flare measuring M1.4 at its peak time erupted on March 31, 2014 from Region 2014. The event started at 07:20, peaked at 08:07, and ended at 08:18 UTC.
A Type IV Radio Emission was registered beginning at 08:17 UTC. Type IV
During yesterday's major X1.0 solar flare (17:35 – 17:54 UTC) a rare event called Magnetic crochet occurred. Magnetic crochet, also known as Solar Flare Effect, occurs during fast impulsive flares and is described as a ripple in
Major solar flare measuring X1.0 erupted from Region 2017 on March 29, 2014. This event started on 17:35, peaked at 17:48 and ended at 17:54 UTC. Area of impact consists of large portions of the sunlit side of Earth, strongest at the sub-solar point. Wide
Region 2017 unleashed a second moderately strong solar flare on March 28, 2014. This event peaked as M2.6 solar flare at 23:51 UTC, and like the previous one (M2.0), it was associated with Type II radiation sweep. Estimated speed of this event was 857
