X1.0 solar flare erupts from Region 3186 — CME produced
A major solar flare measuring X1.0 erupted from the newly-numbered Active Region 3186 on January 10, 2023. The event started at 22:39 UTC, peaked at 22:47 and ended at 22:52 UTC.
Major X1.9 solar flare erupts from Region 3184
A major solar flare measuring X1.9 erupted from the newly-numbered Active Region 3184 on January 9, 2023. The event started at 18:37, peaked at 18:50, and ended at 18:57 UTC.
Increased solar activity, more X-class solar flares possible
Solar activity increased over the past 4 days, with numerous C- and M-class solar flares and one X-class flare. With now geoeffective AR 3182, the source of the X1.2 solar flare on January 6, developing unstable ‘beta-gamma-delta’ magnetic configuration, the chances for more X-class solar flares have increased to 30%.
X1.2 solar flare erupts from Active Region 3182
A major solar flare measuring X1.2 at its peak erupted from AR 3182 at 00:57 UTC on January 6, 2023. The event started at 00:43 UTC and ended at 01:07 UTC.
Large asymmetric partial halo CME just beyond the east limb of the Sun
A large asymmetric partial halo CME was observed just beyond the east limb of the Sun at approximately 06:36 UTC on January 3, 2023.
Geomagnetic storms likely on January 4 and 5 due to the combined effects of a CME and CH HSS
Geomagnetic storms reaching G1 – Minor levels are likely on January 4 and 5, 2023 due to combined effects of a coronal mass ejection (CME) that left the Sun on December 30 and coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) effects. Solar activity is expected to be at low levels, with a chance for M-class flares through January 28.
Multiple M-class solar flares erupt from AR 3165
Multiple M- and C-class solar flares were detected on December 14, 2022, with the strongest being M6.2 at 14:42 UTC. While several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were produced, none of them appears to be Earth-directed.
Two M1.2 solar flares erupt from Region 3141
Two M1.2 solar flares erupted from Active Region 3141 (Beta-Gamma-Delta) on November 11, 2022 – the first at 07:14 and the second at 11:40 UTC. The region is located at the center of the solar disk — coronal mass ejections (CMEs) produced by it are likely to be Earth-directed.
Moderately strong M5.2 solar flare erupts from AR 3141
A moderately strong solar flare measuring M5.2 at its peak erupted from Active Region 3141 at 00:11 UTC on November 7, 2022. A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was produced during the event but the location of this region does not favor Earth-directed CMEs.
M1.5 solar flare erupts from departing region 3112
An M1.5 solar flare erupted from Active Region 3112 at 00:19 UTC on October 13, 2022. AR 3112 is the source of several M-class solar flares over the past couple of days, including an impulsive M3.9 on October 11.
