• Two moderate M-class solar flares in last 6 hours

    Sunspot region about to rotate into view off the southeast limb produced an M1.7 solar flare at 23:31 UTC on October 9, 2012. Just few hours later, at 5:04 UTC (October 10, 2012) the same region produced another M-class event peaking at M1.02. Geomagnetic

  • Long duration C3.7 solar flare erupted with Earth directed CME

    A long duration C3 class solar flare erupted from Active Region 11577 peaking at 23:55 UTC September 27, 2012. The flare has produced a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) which is expected to impact the Earth’s magnetic field sometime late September 29, 2012. Proton levels

  • Solar prominence observed at eastern limb

    Solar activity was at low levels. The largest event during last 48 hours was a long duration C1 solar flare with a large prominence erupted on September 23 around 15:56 UTC from an area behind the eastern limb. It produces CME cloud with no threat to Earth.Some

  • Several strong solar flares and CME’s seen at farside

    At least three large CME clouds were observed during last 24 hours but all of them were at far side so there is no danger for Earth, they are heading away from our planet. Old Sunspot 1564 was probably source of the flares. STEREO Behind COR2 recorded bright flash with

  • Sun produced great solar filament eruption

    Solar activity is expected to be low with a slight chance for M-class flares for the next three days, mainly from Region 1569. NOAA/SWPC estimates 20% chances of M-class solar flare. Region 1564 is crackling with C-class flares.The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet

  • Sunspot 1564 unleashed another solar flare reaching M1.2

    Sunspot 1564 produced M1.2 solar flare at 22:36 UTC on September 9. It is not appeared to be Earth-directed.Another M class event was recorded day earlier. Sunspot 1564 produced an M1.4 long duration flare peaking at 17:59 UTC on September 8. CACTus reported

  • Moderate solar flare reaching M1.3 peaked at 12:11 UTC

    A moderate solar flare reaching M1.3 peaked on August 30, 2012. This event started at 12:02, peaked at 12:11 UTC and ended at 12:14. The source of this solar flare was new sunspot rotating into view off the eastern limb.There is 15% chance of another M-class, and 1%
