• Moderate solar flare reaching M1.7 erupted from Sunspot 1611

    A moderate solar flare reaching M1.7 peaked at 12:41 UTC on November 20, 2012. This event originated from Active Region 1611 located on northwest limb and was not Earth directed. NOAA SWPC forecasters estimated there was 30% chance for an M-class event today and 5% for

  • Geomagnetic storm in progress (November 14, 2012)

    Geomagnetic storm conditions are currently in progress in the wake of CME passage. A prolonged period of southward interplanetary magnetic field brought G2 (Moderate) Geomagnetic Storm conditions early on November 14 (UTC), evening hours November 13 (EST) according to

  • Moderate solar flare measuring M2.8 peaked from Region 1613

    Moderate solar flare measuring M2.8, at it’s peak, erupted from Region 1613 at 20:54 UTC, November 13, 2012. A 10cm Radio Burst was associated with the event, this can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare.This is the same

  • Solar filament eruption sent Earth-directed CME

    A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed on November 9, around 15:24 UTC. It was associated with  filament eruption around sunspot 1608 in the southeast quadrant of the disk. This region is facing  Earth and any  Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) may be geoeffective.

  • Sun hurled two bright CMEs into space, both non-Earthbound

    New region 1611 rotated into view on the east limb and produced a moderate M1.7 flare at 02:23 UTC and a type II radio sweep shortly after, on November 8, 2012. Flare generated bright coronal mass ejection (CME) in eastward direction which means that it would not
