• Numerous M-class flares and CMEs off the northwestern limb

    Solar activity reached moderate levels today when Region 2290 (N22W84, Hsx/Alpha) produced a pair of M1 (R1-Minor) flares at 06:39 (M1.0) and 09:48 UTC (M1.1). This region also produced numerous low and mid-level C-class flares over the last 24 hours.Numerous Coronal Ma

  • Large solar filament erupts, produces partial halo CME

    A large solar filament, which was stretching more than 857 780 km (533 000 miles) last week, finally erupted at approximately 09:25 UTC on February 21, 2015. As I feared, #solarstorm launch is huge filament that just rotated backside. STEREO A saw eruption of monster ev

  • Impulsive M1.2 flare erupts, big plasma filament rotating in

    An impulsive M1.2 solar flare erupted from Region 2277 ('Beta-Gamma') at 02:15 UTC on February 4, 2015. The event started at 02:08 and ended at 02:21 UTC.This event did not produce a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). However, the responsible region is growing, it mai

  • Increased solar activity continues

    Solar activity continues at moderate levels today with two M-class flares (M2.0 and M1.7) erupting from Region 2268 and one from newly numbered Region 2277 (M2.4).The first M-class solar flare of the day was an impulsive M2.0 which erupted at 00:44 UTC. It was followed

  • Moderately strong M2.1 solar flare erupts from Region 2268

    A moderately strong solar flare reaching M2.1 at its peak time erupted from Region 2268 on January 29, 2015. The event started at 11:32, peaked at 11:42 and ended at 11:52 UTC.As with all the previous M-class flares from this region in the past few days, this latest eve

  • Moderate M1.4 solar flare erupts from Region 2268

    A moderate solar flare measuring M1.4 at its peak time erupted from Region 2268 on January 28, 2015. The event started at 04:21, peaked at 04:41 and ended at 04:55 UTC.Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was not produced.Region 2268 ('beta-gamma') is currently the large

  • Moderate M1.1 solar flare erupts from Region 2268

    A moderate solar flare measuring M1.1 (R1 Minor Radio Blackout) at its peak time erupted from growing Region 2268 on January 26, 2015. The event started at 16:46, peaked at 16:53 and ended at 16:58 UTC.There were no signatures that would suggest a Coronal Mass Ejection

  • Newly numbered Region 2268 produced a moderate M1.4 solar flare

    Newly numbered Region 2268 (S10E72, Hax/alpha) produced a moderate M1.4 solar flare on January 22, 2015, just as it began rotating onto the Southeast limb.The event started at 04:43, peaked at 04:52 and ended at 05:02 UTC.There were no signatures that would suggest a Co
