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
2 months of live feed of the Sun recorded from NASA GOES-15 SXI from March 28 to May 28, 2012Music: Chopin – Nocturne in E flat major Op. 9, No.
On May 17, 2012 a moderate-sized M-class flare erupted from the Sun and sent out a barrage of high-energy solar particles that belied its initial intensity.These particles traveled at nearly the speed of light, crossing the 93 million miles between the Sun and Earth
The proton levels reached S1 Minor Radiation Storm threshold today. The Solar X-Rays also detected a long duration C-Class event during the early hours of Sunday morning and this generated a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). It appears that the plasma cloud was directed
Solar wind reached near 700 km/s and this helped stir up a brief G1 Level Geomagnetic Storm (Kp=5) at high latitudes during the early hours of Wednesday morning. Migratory animals are affected at this and higher levels and aurora is commonly visible at high
Earth has entered a high-speed solar wind stream, and this is causing geomagnetic activity at high latitudes. A minor Geomagnetic Storm (KP=5) is now in progress.The Solar Wind is currently around 600 km/s at this is helping stir up geomagnetic activity at high
Solar activity ranged from very low to moderate levels. Region 1476 (N09, L=180, class/area Fkc/1050 on 09 May) continued to be the major contributor of x-ray flare activity throughout the week. It produced 13 C-class flares and an M-flare.Region 1476 began the
An interplanetary shock wave possibly associated with the M5-class solar flare of May 17th swept past Earth on May 20th around 02:00 UTC according to SpaceWeather. The shock’s arrival caused geomagnetic activity around the poles, and several outbreaks of
A strong solar flare reaching M5.1 took place at 01:47 UTC Thursday morning. The flare was centered around Sunspot 1476 near the northwest limb. A bright CME was generated but because of the spots location, the plasma cloud will be headed mostly to the west.The
The northern lights interfere with radio communications, GPS navigation and satellite communications. Researchers are now going to launch 20 satellites containing world class instruments from the University of Oslo to find out why.Satellites are becoming increasingly
