A large prominence located off the northeast limb erupted early on Tuesday, October 8, 2013. A non-Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was associated with the event.There are currently 6 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.1855 – Beta1856 – Beta1857 – Alpha1860
A long duration C1 solar flare erupted on October 6, 2013 at 14:24 UTC. Coronal Mass Ejection associated with this event is Earth directed. Plasma cloud is forecast to sweep past our planet sometime on October 9 resulting in minor increase in geomagnetic
A large magnetic filament erupted on Sun's northern hemisphere during the late hours (UTC) of September 29, 2013. The explosion hurled a magnificent Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) into space and it does look like it has an Earth-directed component.
A long duration C-Class solar flare reaching C8.3 erupted on August 30, 2013 peaking at 02:46 UTC. The event started at 02:04 UTC and ended at 04:06 UTC. Associated was Type II and Type IV radio emissions. Type IV emissions occur in association with major
An icy comet with estimated size of few tens of meters plunged into the Sun on August 19/20, 2013 but just before it dissipated, a far-side region on the Sun expelled a magnificent full-halo CME.
Today's comet belonged to Kreutz Sungrazer family which
A large solar filament located in the southern hemisphere lifted off the Sun at about 8:50 UTC on August 20, 2013. A bright Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was produced as the result. Though the majority of Sun's material is directed south current
An impulsive solar flare reaching M3.3 erupted on August 17, 2013. The event peaked at 18:24 UTC from Active Region 1818. AR 1818 is classified with Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic configuration and is capable of producing even stronger eruptions.
At 18:49
Active Region 1817 erupted with moderate solar flare peaking as M1.5 at 10:41 UTC on August 12, 2013. AR 1817 has Beta magnetic configuration and is located in Sun's southern hemisphere. It is still growing and rotating into geoeffective position. Any new
Southern hemisphere of the Sun is showing an uptick in activity. Beta classified Region 1817 produced an C8.4 solar flare peaking at 21:55 UTC on Sunday, August 11, 2013. This was the largest Earth facing X-ray event since July 8.
NOAA SWPC
A spectacular filament eruption was observed yesterday August 6, 2013 at 02:04 UTC. A strong Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) has been seen following this energetic impulsive eruption and it does seem to have an earth-bound component which should impact the
