In last 24 hours solar activity has been at moderate levels with many C-class flares detected from sunspots 1865, 1861 and from new approaching region behind the east limb. Active Region 1865 produced an M1.1 flare at 09:00 UTC. There are clear dimming
Norwegian photographer Stian Rekdal drove nearly 5 500 kilometers on his last month's trip to Iceland and took over 40 000 photos on the way. 3 500 of them were used to create this showcase of Iceland's natural beauty.

A moderate solar flare measuring M1.7 erupted on Sunday, October 13, 2013. The event peaked at 00:43 UTC and a Type II Radio Emission was associated. Type II emissions occur in association with eruptions on the Sun and typically indicate a Coronal Mass Ejection is
A long duration solar flare measuring M1.5 at the peak time erupted from region located on Sun's northeastern limb. The event started at 07:01, peaked at 07:25 and ended at 07:45 UTC on Friday, October 11, 2013. CME was generated, but it is not Earth
New active region, AR1865, located on the southeastern limb of the Sun erupted on October 9, 2013 peaking at 01:48 UTC as moderate M2.8 solar flare. Strong Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was generated but it was not Earth directed. This region
An interplanetary shock wave from yesterday's CME hit Earth's geomagnetic field at 20:23 UTC today. At the time, Boulder station measured magnetic field Bz component deviation of 62 nT. A G1 (minor) geomagnetic storm is currently underway. High
A large prominence located off the northeast limb erupted early on Tuesday, October 8, 2013. A non-Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was associated with the event.There are currently 6 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.1855 – Beta1856 – Beta1857 – Alpha1860
A long duration C1 solar flare erupted on October 6, 2013 at 14:24 UTC. Coronal Mass Ejection associated with this event is Earth directed. Plasma cloud is forecast to sweep past our planet sometime on October 9 resulting in minor increase in geomagnetic
A G2 geomagnetic storm is now in progress following CME impact on Earth's magnetic field early on October 2, 2013. The ACE spacecraft detected a solar wind increase to above 600 km/s and the Bz component (IMF) initially tipped sharply south to -19nT.
A large magnetic filament erupted on Sun's northern hemisphere during the late hours (UTC) of September 29, 2013. The explosion hurled a magnificent Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) into space and it does look like it has an Earth-directed component.
