Solar eruptions are on the rise as the Sun progresses toward the peak of its roughly 11-year-long activity cycle, now expected in mid-2013. Sun produced powerful solar flare rated as X5.4 (based on the peak intensity of its X-rays) on March 7, 2012. During a
The Bz continues to tilt south and a minor G1 Geomagnetic Storm (Kp=5) is now in progress. Be on the lookout for Aurora at very high latitudes. The Bz Component of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) is currently tipped south and this may help trigger Aurora at
A moderate solar flare measuring M1.3 peaked at 06:45 UTC on Sunday, June 10, 2012. The event started at 06:39, peaked at 06:45 and ended at 06:50. This is third solar flare in last 24 hours.New Sunspots 1504 and 1505 were numbered yesterday and are located next to
A second moderate solare flare reaching M1.8 peaked at 16:53 UTC (June 9, 2012). This second one also comes from the new sunspot rotating into view in the southeast qudrant. SWPC is predictiong 25% chance for M-class solar flares and 0.1% chance for X-class
A moderate solar flare reaching M1.9 was detected around the new sunspot rotating into view in the southeast qudrant. The event started at 11:20, peaked at 11:32 and ended at 11:35 on Saturday, June 9, 2012 UTC.Solar activity continues at low levels heading into
A moderate solar flare reaching M2.1 took place at 20:06 UTC on Wednesday, June 6, 2012. The flare was centered around Sunspot 1494 and was not long in duration.Warning: Type IV Radio EmissionIssue Time: 2012 Jun 06 2018 UTCALERT: Type IV Radio EmissionBegin
New sunspot 1496 unleashed an impulsive M3-Class solar flare on June 3rd at 17:55 UTC. The explosion hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space. The cloud does not appear to be heading for Earth, although this conclusion could be revised by further analysis.
The Bz component of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field has been tilting sharply south for long durations and this has in turn generated a G1 Level Geomagnetic Storm at very high latitudes. Migratory animals are affected at this and higher levels and aurora is commonly
Moderate solar flare reaching M3.3 peaked at 17:55 UTC on Sunday, June 3, 2012. The quick flash of light was centered around Sunspot 1493 located in the northern hemisphere. A TenFlare measuring 320pfu was recorded as well.A Type II emission (est 1077 km/s) was also
