• Geomagnetic storm in progress!

    A solar wind stream is buffeting Earth’s magnetic field and this is causing geomagnetic storm. A coronal mass ejection (CME) The Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) reported on Jan 19, finally impacted our geomagnetic field with a glancing blow early this morning.hit

  • M3.2 solar blast from Sunspot 1402 produced Earth-directed CME

    The long-duration blast at active region 1402 produced M3.2 solar flare and CME which is heading toward Earth. This was two-wave flare and first CME wave was overtaken by the 2nd wave due to its higher speed velocity.The major bulk of the plasma cloud appears to be

  • New sunspot regions turning earthwards

    A very long in duration C6.4 event was detected around Sunspot 1402 in the northeast quadrant. A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was produced, but is directed to the north and east. Most of the magnetic activity in this event appears to be above the actual

  • A long-duration C3 solar flare at the Sun’s farside

    NASA’s STEREO-Behind spacecraft observed a significant eruption on the farside of the sun today. Although the blast was eclipsed by the edge of the solar disk, it nevertheless produced a long-duration  C3 solar flare detectable from Earth. The blast site is not far

  • Recent solar activity

    Sunspot 1393 is growing rapidly, more than tripling in area since Friday. So far, however, the active region has not produced any strong flares. Solar activity remains low.Solar activity increased somewhat, with a solar flare detected around Sunspot 1386 off the

  • Eruption on farside solar western limb

    Sunspot 1384, currently located just behind the sun’s western limb, erupted today around 14:45 UTC. It registered as a long duration C2.4 flare and it appears to be connected to magnetic filaments snaking over the horizon to the Earthside of the sun. This event
