• Earth directed solar flares possible in the coming days

    Solar activity was at low levels during last 24 hours, however, that might change today and in the days ahead. Active Region 2036 exhibited rapid growth over the last few days and is now almost directly facing our planet. Earth directed eruption

  • CME impact causes minor increase in geomagnetic activity

    A geomagnetic sudden impulse, indicating the arrival of the March 23 CME, was observed at the Hartland magnetometer (23 nT) at 20:09 UTC on March 25.

    The geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to active levels (below G1-Minor) early on March 26 as CME

  • Astronomers find solar storms behave like supernovae

    Researchers at the UCL studying details of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have noticed that those eruptions have a surprising twin in the depths of space: the tendrils of gas in the Crab Nebula, which lie 6500 light-years away and are millions of

  • Multiple CMEs observed from central region on the Sun

    Solar activity was at moderate levels in last 24 hours (12:30 UTC). Region 1974 (S13W05, Fsc/beta-gamma-delta) continued to exhibit growth and separation in the intermediate spots, and was responsible for the majority of the flare activity throughout the

  • Large solar prominence on the northwest limb

    A large prominence lifted off the northwest limb on July 21, 2013 and generated a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), directed to the north and away from Earth. 

     

    STEREO Ahead and STEREO Behind COR2 images show the prominence flaring on July 22, 2013
