• Solar filament eruption sent Earth-directed CME

    A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed on November 9, around 15:24 UTC. It was associated with  filament eruption around sunspot 1608 in the southeast quadrant of the disk. This region is facing  Earth and any  Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) may be geoeffective.

  • Sun hurled two bright CMEs into space, both non-Earthbound

    New region 1611 rotated into view on the east limb and produced a moderate M1.7 flare at 02:23 UTC and a type II radio sweep shortly after, on November 8, 2012. Flare generated bright coronal mass ejection (CME) in eastward direction which means that it would not

  • STEREO satellites recorded 8 CME’s over two-day period

    The Sun produced a series of at least eight coronal mass ejections (CMEs) over a two-day period (November, 2-4, 2012). Some of them overlapped each other as the Sun burst some of them into space in a rapid-fire style. The series was taken by the STEREO Ahead spacecraft

  • Three CMEs observed on western limb, one could be geoeffective

    Magnetic filament eruption took place beyond the western limb, producing a halo or partial-halo CME on November 3. In fact, three CME clouds were ejected into space, with one appeared to have slight chance to become geoeffective. Minor solar wind stream from

  • Solar activity – September 1 – 30, 2012 (Video)

    The video by Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) combines three wavelengths with similar temperatures, highlighting different parts of the solar corona showing the Sun from September 1 through September 30, 2012. The start of the Fall Eclipse Season could be seen, when

  • Solar activity at low levels with possible Earth-directed CME…

    Solar activity was at low levels for the past 24 hours and X-Ray flux plot shown merely C-class threshold. However, a prominence eruption was observed north of Region 1600.A bright CME was observed in STEREO Ahead COR 2 imagery at 18:24 UTC on October 27. Latest

  • Sunspot 1598 generated impulsive X1.8 solar flare

    X1.8 solar flare peaked at 03:17 UTC on October 23, 2012 around Active Region 1598, which is still several days away from directly facing Earth from center disk. NOAA/SWPC forecasters estimated 20% chance for another X-class event.Space Weather Message Code:
