Solar activity is expected to be low with a slight chance for M-class flares for the next three days, mainly from Region 1569. NOAA/SWPC estimates 20% chances of M-class solar flare. Region 1564 is crackling with C-class flares.The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet
“Astronomy picture of the day” featured amazing video of wonderful aurora display over Ravnastua, Skoganvarre and Lakselv in Norway, captured by Christian Mülhauser.Aurora 2012 from Christian Mülhauser on Vimeo.Auroras are occurring again with increasing
Sunspot 1564 produced M1.2 solar flare at 22:36 UTC on September 9. It is not appeared to be Earth-directed.Another M class event was recorded day earlier. Sunspot 1564 produced an M1.4 long duration flare peaking at 17:59 UTC on September 8. CACTus reported
Sunspot 1560 erupted with moderate solar flare reaching M1.6 on September 6, 2012. Peak of this event was at 04:13 UTC. Large Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is not
Geomagnetic storming reached the G2 (Moderate) level at high latitudes again early today. Bright auroras could be seen around Arctic Circle. It was sparked by one of two coronal mass ejections observed on September 2. Solar radiation storm levels have returned to
NOAA/SWPC reported that the G1 (minor) Geomagnetic Storm has ended with the return of normal solar wind conditions. Currently solar winds blow at speed of 419.1 km/sec. Earthbound proton levels are now below the S1 Minor Radiation Storm threshold and geomagnetic
Solar filament eruption on August 31 generated at least two potentially Earth directed CME clouds. Earth was hit by first CME shock, observed in the solar wind around 11:20 UTC. The impact induced significant ground currents in northern Scandinavia and
The Coronal Mass Ejection was caused by the large filament eruption late on August 31st. Minor to Moderate Geomagnetic Storming will be possible at high latitudes, especially on September 3rd. Solar Radiation Storm levels have increased above the S1 (Minor)
High levels of low energetic protons are recorded streaming past Earth causing minor S1 solar radiation storm. Proton event 10MeV Integral Flux exceeded 10 pfu. Minor impacts on HF radio are possible around polar regions.Elevated solar radiation storm levels are
A moderate solar flare reaching M1.3 peaked on August 30, 2012. This event started at 12:02, peaked at 12:11 UTC and ended at 12:14. The source of this solar flare was new sunspot rotating into view off the eastern limb.There is 15% chance of another M-class, and 1%
