Corona aurora over UAF ski trail, Alaska

Time-lapse movie of the corona aurora that appeared over UAF ski trail, Fairbanks, Alaska after strong CME hit Earth’s magnetic field. Red aurora was also captured. (1:54 – 2:32am AKST, March 17, 2013) Corona aurora is a shape of aurora in which rays

Geomagnetic storms – basic terms, data, plots and graphs

A coronal mass ejection (CME) that erupted on March 15, 2013, hit Earth's magnetic field at 06:00 UTC on March 17, 2013. The solar wind speed reached 700 km/s and sparked a moderately strong G2 (Kp=6) geomagnetic storm and minor S1 solar radiation

This amazing timelapse by talented Zoltan Kenwell – InFocus Imagery – was captured in the morning of November 24, 2012, about 30 km east of Bashaw, Alberta, Canada.

"The forecast was looking very promising for a fantastic display. A more or

CME from September 28 eruption heading toward Earth

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

Minor to Moderate Geomagnetic Storming possible at high latitudes

Minor to Moderate Geomagnetic Storming possible at high latitudes

The Coronal Mass Ejection was caused by the large filament eruption late on August 31st.  Minor to Moderate Geomagnetic Storming will be possible at high latitudes, especially on September 3rd. Solar Radiation Storm levels have increased above the S1 (Minor)

Subsiding geomagnetic storm, all levels are back to normal

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)

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
