• Minor solar radiation storm in progress

    High levels of low energetic protons are recorded streaming past Earth causing minor S1 solar radiation storm. Proton event 10MeV Integral Flux exceeded 10 pfu.  Minor impacts on HF radio are possible around polar regions.Elevated solar radiation storm levels are

  • What is happening with solar observing instruments right now?!

    While trying to access SOHO’s coronograph data we noticed that the latest LASCO C2 image is updated on August 18 at 13:36 and LASCO C3 at 13:30. Also, SOHO’s EIT 304 latest image is from August 17 at 13:19, EIT 195 is from August 16 at 13:13 while EIT 171 and 284 show

  • Sunspot 1540 produced a long duration M1.0 solar flare

    A long duration M1.0 solar flare took place on August 11. 2012. The event started at 11:55, peaked at 12:20 and ended at 12:57 UTC. The source of this solar flare was centered around Sunspot 1540. Plasma was magnetically pulled back in towards 1544 located to the

  • Subsiding geomagnetic storm, all levels are back to normal

    The geomagnetic storming started on July 14th through 16th and it is subsiding right now. Geomagnetic storm was triggered by a CME impact on July 14th around 18:00 UTC when strong X1.4 solar flare exploded from Sunspot AR 1520. Conditions at the peak showed Moderate

  • G2 Geomagnetic storming in progress (Kp=6)

    We are still experiencing effects of incoming CME generated from Sunspot 1520 which produced strong X1.4 Solar Flare on Thursday. A Moderate G2 Geomagnetic Storm (KP=6) is in progress right now due to an incoming CME shock. The geomagnetic field has been at active to

  • Sunspot 1520 harbors energy for X-class solar flare

    Sunspot 1520 remains a large sunspot cluster and may produce isolated M-Class and X-class flares. Aside from the pocket of sunspots in the southern hemisphere, the remainder of the visible solar disk is currently spotless. AR1520 stretches more than 140,000 km (11
