X1.1 solar flare erupts from the Sun’s SE limb
A major solar flare measuring X1.1 erupted from a region located at the Sun’s southeastern limb at 13:25 UTC on May 3, 2022. The event started at 13:09 UTC and ended at 13:31.
Major X1.1 solar flare erupts from the Sun’s west limb
A major solar flare measuring X1.1 erupted from the Sun’s west limb at 13:47 UTC on April 30, 2022. The event started at 13:37 UTC and ended at 13:52.
M9.6 solar flare erupts from Region 2993, CME produced
A strong solar flare measuring M9.6 at its peak erupted from Active Region 2993 at 01:59 UTC on April 21, 2022. The event started at 01:47 UTC and ended at 02:05. A coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced and there is a possibility there is an Earth-directed component. Region 2993 is one of two moderately…
Major X2.2 solar flare erupts just beyond the southwest limb of the Sun
A major solar flare measuring X2.2 at its peak erupted at 03:57 UTC on April 20, 2022 from a region located just beyond the southwest limb of the Sun – likely former Region 2992. The event started at 03:41 UTC and ended at 04:04.
Major X1.1 solar flare erupts from Active Region 2994
A major solar flare measuring X1.1 at its peak erupted from newly numbered Active Region 2994 at 03:34 UTC on April 17, 2022. The event started at 03:17 UTC and ended at 03:51. A coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced during the event but the location of the source region does not favor Earth-directed CMEs. This will change in the days ahead as the region turns into geoeffective position.
Filament eruption produces Earth-directed CME, G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm watch in effect
A large filament eruption took place around Active Region 2987 – located at a geoeffective position – producing a C1 solar flare at 05:21 UTC on April 11, 2022. The event produced a full halo CME and WSA-Enlil model indicates arrival at Earth early on April 14. As a result, a G2 – Moderate geomagnetic…
Major X1.3 solar flare erupts from Active Region 2975
A major solar flare measuring X1.3 erupted from Active Region 2975 at 17:37 UTC on March 30, 2022. The event started at 17:21 UTC and ended at 17:46. The region is located in an area that favors Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs). A Type II Radio Emission…
Two CMEs heading toward Earth, G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm watch in effect
Active Region 2975 produced multiple C- and M-class solar flares since M4.0 at 11:29 UTC on March 28, 2022, as well as 2 coronal mass ejections (CMEs) – both toward Earth. As a result, a G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for March 31. Solar activity…
Moderately strong M4.0 solar flare erupts from geoeffective Region 2975
A moderately-strong solar flare measuring M4.0 erupted from geoeffective Active Region 2975 at 11:29 UTC on March 28, 2022. The event started at 10:58 UTC and ended at 11:45. The event was associated with a Type II Radio Emission at 11:23 UTC, with an estimated…
Moderately strong M1.4 solar flare erupts from AR 2974
A moderately strong solar flare measuring M1.4 at its peak erupted from Active Region 2974 at 05:26 UTC on March 25, 2022. The event started at 05:02 and ended at 05:50 UTC. The eruption was associated with a Type II Radio emission at 05:14 UTC, with an estimated…
