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
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
The Kp index dropped below the Minor Geomagnetic Storm threshold (Kp=4). Minor storm flareups at high latitudes could still take place for the remainder of the day. Geomagnetic Storming continued during the day at very high latitudes as effects from an incoming CME
The Bz component of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field has been tilting sharply south for long durations and this has in turn generated a G1 Level Geomagnetic Storm at very high latitudes. Migratory animals are affected at this and higher levels and aurora is commonly
And here is another amazing time-lapse video of auroras by Zoltan Kenwell. On April 23/24, 2012 Earth experienced a G3 geomagnetic storm. The Kp index, a measure of magnetic field, peaked at 6.33 out of a maximum of 9. The result of this disturbance created this Aurora
A long-lasting Geomagnetic Storm that reached very close to the Strong G3 Level (Kp =6) took place Monday night and early Tuesday morning. Ham Radio operators were able to make numerous contacts via the Aurora on the 6 meter (50mhz) amateur radio band. This storm was
Photo and video artist Ole C. Salomonsen assembled over 150,000 digital photos taken over the course of eight months to create this stunning time-lapse video of aurora-filled Arctic skies. The footage was shot on location in parts of Norway, Finland and Sweden from
According to the latest WSA-Enlil Solar Wind Prediction track, the CME from Thursday may deliver a glancing blow late on April 8th. Only minor geomagnetic activity is expected as a majority of the plasma cloud will miss Earth. (Check this animation). NOAA forecasters
The flank of a CME hit Earth’s magnetic field on March 15th around 13:00 UTC. The impact sparked a moderate (Kp=6) geomagnetic storm. Beautifull auroras colored sky into March 16th. Here are some images and great timelapse-movie. Just outside
Sunspot 1429 still gives a thrilling time for night skywatchers. Recent solar activity produced numerous CME impact that sparked aurora displays around polar circles.Aurora tour guide Chad Blakely of Abisko Sweden made a wonderful movie on March 12th with beautiful
