An M-class solar flare erupted on October 8, 2012 at 11:17 UTC. The event started at 11:05, peaked at 11:17 and ended at 11:23 UTC. The source of this flare is probably a new region on Sun’s northeastern limb rotating into Earth’s view. Coronal Mass Ejection (CME)
A long duration B7.5 solar flare was observed at 07:30 UTC on October 5. Post eruption loop structures were observed in GOES SXI imagery in the vicinity of Region 1584. A partial halo CME was first observed in SOHO/LASCO C3 imagery at 07:30 UTC and STEREO Ahead
Sunspot 1583 on the western limb produced an M1.3 flare on Sept. 30 at 04:33 UTC. Region 1583 had grown rapidly in the past 24 hours, however it is only hours away from rotating off the solar disk and out of view. SIDC and NOAA/SWPC expect mostly eruptive conditions
M1.3 solar flare occurred at 04:33 UTC on September 30., 2012 More updates in coming minutes! Meanwhile, the Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with the filament eruption near end-of-day September 28th has arrived. Geomagnetic storm
Sunspot 1577 generated a long duration C3.7 solar flare which hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME) almost directly toward Earth on September 28. Proton levels reached the S1 Minor Radiation Storm level soon after the event. The proton event linked to the C3.7 flare
Anyone who observes solar activity here and there surely noticed spectacular solar filament on August 31, 2012. We saw amazing images presented to us by solar observatories in space and now SOHO combined all recordings from EUVI, COR1, COR2 and HI1 that give us clear
Moderate long-duration solar flare measuring M1.4 took place at 17:59 UTC on September 8. It was generated around Sunspot 1564. Another strong flare was recorded about the same time around nearby Region 1562. It is possible that the X-ray flux recorded the cumulative
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has moved into its second eclipse season of 2012. September 6, 2012, marks the first day of the SDO Fall Eclipse Season. Today’s eclipse lasted 8 minutes and 15 seconds only. Earth blocks SDO’s view of the sun for a period
Geomagnetic storming reached the G2 (Moderate) level at high latitudes again early today. Bright auroras could be seen around Arctic Circle. It was sparked by one of two coronal mass ejections observed on September 2. Solar radiation storm levels have returned to
NOAA/SWPC reported that the G1 (minor) Geomagnetic Storm has ended with the return of normal solar wind conditions. Currently solar winds blow at speed of 419.1 km/sec. Earthbound proton levels are now below the S1 Minor Radiation Storm threshold and geomagnetic
