Active Region 1613, located in southern hemisphere, produced three M-class solar flares in last 6 hours. At 23:28 UTC, November 12, 2012 it peaked with M2.0 solar flare, then on November 13, 2012 at 02:04 an impulsive M6.0 peaked followed by M2.5 at 05:50 UTC.A Type
Active region 1613 produced M2.0 solar flare at 23:28 UTC on November 12, 2012. This expanding region is rotating into direct Earth-view position and may produce more activity. Sunspots 1610, 1611 and 1614 are currently the largest sunspots on the visible solar disk.
Solar activity is moderate. Three C-class events were observed overnight and giant plasma filled prominence occurred on the southwest limb. M1.0 solar flare was registered around 02:11 UTC but it was not associated with numbered active region. Amazing plasma filled
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.
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
Solar flare measuring M1.7 erupted on November 8, 2012 at 02:23 UTC. The source of this event is newly formed region rotating into view, Region 1611 (N12E66). The event started at 02:28, peaked at 02:23 and ended at 02:25 UTC. Type II Radio Emission was recorded
The Sun produced a series of at least eight coronal mass ejections (CMEs) over a two-day period (November, 2-4, 2012). Some of them overlapped each other as the Sun burst some of them into space in a rapid-fire style. The series was taken by the STEREO Ahead spacecraft
Magnetic filament eruption took place beyond the western limb, producing a halo or partial-halo CME on November 3. In fact, three CME clouds were ejected into space, with one appeared to have slight chance to become geoeffective. Minor solar wind stream from
A weak CME shock was observed in the solar wind by the ACE and SOHO/CELIAS instruments on October 31st afternoon around 14:45 UTC. The solar wind speed jumped up from 280 km/s up to 370 km/s and also the solar wind density increased. Initial solar wind velocity had
In January 2005, some remarkable things happened on the Sun, and the implications are still reverberating through the scientific community. Between January 15th and 19th four powerful solar flares erupted from “sunspot 720”, shown in the picture above. Then on January
