• Two new M-class flares and geomagnetic storming in progress

    One of the largest Sunspots of the current cycle is rotating into position for Earth directed Solar Flares. Sunspot 1520 has a Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic configuration and may produce an X-Class flare. M1.1 flare at 05:10 UTC was followed up with a M2.0 flare at 06:27

  • A minor G1 Geomagnetic Storm (KP=5) in progress again

    A minor Geomagnetic Storm (KP=5) is again in progress due to southward Bz component of the IMF. Be on the lookout for Aurora at high latitudes. Stay tuned for more updates.Interplanetary Mag. FieldBtotal: 10.7 nTBz: 10.5 nT south Sunspot 1515 is now

  • G1 geomagnetic storming in progress, new sunspot facing Earth

    Geomagnetic Storming reaching the minor G1 level was observed due to effects from a minor CME impact. The Bz component of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field has been pointing south at times and this could help intensify geomagnetic activity.July 9th began with a brief

  • Strong solar flare reaching M6.9 took place at 16:32 UTC

    Notorious Sunspot 1515 produced yet another strong M-class solar flare. This event started at 16:23 UTC on July 8, 2012, peaked 16:32 UTC at M6.9 and ended at 16:42 UTC. Sunspot 1515 is about to rotate to western limb so huge CME it has produced was not Earth

  • Major solar flare reaching X1.1 peaked at 23:08 UTC

    As we got used to M-class and waited a day to pass to report an overview of July 6, 2012 a major solar flare peaked. At 23:08 a major solar flare reaching X1.1 peaked. The flare was centered around Sunspot 1515.Strong R3 radio blackout was reported.Potential

  • Two more M-class events from Sunspot 1515 – M2.4 and M 2.2

    After fifth moderate solar flare on July 4th, reaching M4.6, increased solar activity continues. Very active region 1515 produced two more M-class solar flares. At 01:10 UTC it generated M2.4 solar flare and only hour later, at 02:42 it generated M2.3 solar
