• Impulsive M3.9 solar flare off the eastern limb

    Moderate impulsive solar flare registered as M3.9  erupted from area off the eastern limb, around one of new active regions and old Sunspot 1726, which already produced strong C 9.1 flare few hours earlier. The event started at 00:44 UTC and peaked at 00:57 UTC on

  • Large prominence eruption and strong C-class solar flare

    Strong solar flare erupted on May 9, 2013 at 22:52 with peak at 23:15 UTC as C9.1 flare, just below M-class threshold. The event was centered around old returning Sunspot 1726. It will be on the visible solar disk in the next 24 hours when it will be designated as

  • Intro to space weather vocabulary – video

    Heliophysics scientists study energy transformation from one event to the other and which electromagnetic waves create which conditions near Earth. Space weather effects can disrupt satellites in space, so scientists need to understand the system in even more detail.

  • Moderate solar flare reaching M1.4 erupted from Region 1739

    A moderate solar flare reaching M1.4 erupted on May 5, 2013 peaking at 17:56 UTC. The source of the event was Region 1739 located near the  eastern limb and classified with Beta-Gamma magnetic field. This is currently most active region on the disk responsible for
