After low solar activity the Sun erupted today with a moderate solar flare. This latest event started at 04:33 and peaked at 04:38 UTC Monday, August 6, 2012 with M1.6 solar flare. The source of this event was probably a new region now about to rotate into view off the
New Active Region 1536 erupted with moderate solar flare today. The event peaked at 15:48 UTC on July 30, 2012 measuring M1.1. This is first M-class solar flare from Region 1536.At 14:03 UTC today Region 1532 (S19E14) erupted with C8.8 flare. Analysis with
Sunspot AR1532 is crackling with M-class solar flares. After strong M6.1 solar flare on July 28 at 20:56 UTC, it generated another M-class solar flare on July 29 at 06:22, this time measuring M2.3.The sunspot is still too far off the disk center to be very
On July 28, 2012 at 20:56 UTC Region 1532 unleashed M6.1 solar flare. The solar flare did genarate Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) it does not look Earth directed. The sunspot is still too far off the disk center to be very geoeffective. This will change in the following
On July 27, 2012 emerging Region 1532 unleashed an M-class solar flare. This latest event started at 17:17 and peaked at 17:26 UTC as M2.7 solar flare. It does not look like it produced a substantial CME and even if it did it was not Earth directed.A Type IV
Experts say solar maximum is due in the year 2013. When it arrives, the peak of 11-year sunspot cycle will bring more solar flares, more coronal mass ejections, more geomagnetic storms and more auroras than we have experienced in quite some time.The source of the
On July 14, 2013, the Sun unleashed a major X1.4 solar flare which was accompanied with a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection). InFocusImagery brings us this amazing time-lapse video.

Region 1520 is still very active and located on the western limb. Latest event from this Sunspot started on July 19, 2012 at 05:13 and peaked at 5:58 UTC at M7.7. It looks like strong CME was released but since 1520 is located on the western limb it was not be Earth
