  • Moderate to high solar activity for beginning of July

    Sprawling Sunspot Cluster 1515 is now directly facing the Earth. This region is responsible for generating at least 5 M-Class solar flares within the past few days, including M5.6 and M3.8 events on Monday. So far on Tuesday, numerous C-Class flares have been detected

  • Possible geomagnetic storms today and tomorrow

    Giant Coronal Hole CH521 in the sun’s upper atmosphere has just turned directly toward Earth. Coronal holes are places where the sun’s magnetic field opens up and allows the solar wind to escape. A stream of solar wind flowing from this particular gap is en route
