Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently three numbered sunspot regions on the disk – AR 1633 (Beta region), AR 1634 (Beta region) and AR 1635 (Beta-gamma region, Bright H-alpha). Sunspot 1635 could produce M-class solar
Sunspot 1620 produced M2.2 solar flare with peak at 21:36 UTC on November 28, 2012. Fast growing sunspot AR1620 has a beta-gamma-delta magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares. M-class activity is also possible from region AR 1618 which has now
Moderate solar flare reaching M1.1 peaked at 21:05 UTC on November 27, 2012. The event originated in Region 1620, and was followed by C7.1 flare two hours later (from the same region).This is second M-class event of the day. Region 1618 already produced M1.6 solar
After some quiet time Region 1618 erupted with another M-class solar flare. This latest event started at 15:52, peaked at 15:57 UTC at M1.6 and ended at 16:03 UTC on November 27, 2012. Region 1618 still has Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic configuration capable of producing
This amazing timelapse by talented Zoltan Kenwell – InFocus Imagery – was captured in the morning of November 24, 2012, about 30 km east of Bashaw, Alberta, Canada.
"The forecast was looking very promising for a fantastic display. A more or
Five sunspot groups were reported today by Catania. Sunspots AR 1618 and AR 1620 have beta-gamma-delta and beta-gamma configurations of their photospheric magnetic field, respectively, and are being closely monitored for further flaring activity. NOAA/SWPC forecasters
The passage of an interplanetary shock (CME) was recorded at 21:56 UTC on November 23, 2012. ACE spacecraft measured a geomagnetic sudden impulse of 25nT. The maximum southward component of Bz was -8.8 nT at 21:12 UTC on November 23. The primary Coronal Mass
Active Region 1618 keeps evolving and it has now Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic configuration that harbors energy for M- and X-class eruptions. It produced an M3.5 flare with peak at 15:30 UTC on November 21, related to a halo CME first seen at 16:12 UTC by SOHO’s LASCO
Region 1618 is popping one M-class solar flare after another. On November 21, 2012 it erupted with M3.5 solar flare peaking at 15:30 UTC. This is second M-class solar flare of the day, the second M-class from Region 1618 today, and fourth M-class solar flare in last 24
Another moderate solar flare erupted from Active Region 1618. The event started at 06:45 UTC, peaked at 06:56 UTC at M1.4, November 21, 2012 and ended at 07:08 UTC. Region 1618 still has Beta-Gamma classification, harbors energy for strong solar flares and is Earth
