• Solar filament eruption sent Earth-directed CME

    A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed on November 9, around 15:24 UTC. It was associated with  filament eruption around sunspot 1608 in the southeast quadrant of the disk. This region is facing  Earth and any  Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) may be geoeffective.

  • Sun hurled two bright CMEs into space, both non-Earthbound

    New region 1611 rotated into view on the east limb and produced a moderate M1.7 flare at 02:23 UTC and a type II radio sweep shortly after, on November 8, 2012. Flare generated bright coronal mass ejection (CME) in eastward direction which means that it would not

  • STEREO satellites recorded 8 CME’s over two-day period

    The Sun produced a series of at least eight coronal mass ejections (CMEs) over a two-day period (November, 2-4, 2012). Some of them overlapped each other as the Sun burst some of them into space in a rapid-fire style. The series was taken by the STEREO Ahead spacecraft

  • Three CMEs observed on western limb, one could be geoeffective

    Magnetic filament eruption took place beyond the western limb, producing a halo or partial-halo CME on November 3. In fact, three CME clouds were ejected into space, with one appeared to have slight chance to become geoeffective. Minor solar wind stream from

  • Weak CME impact caused unsettled geomagnetic field levels

    A weak CME shock was observed in the solar wind by the ACE and SOHO/CELIAS instruments on October 31st afternoon around 14:45 UTC. The solar wind speed jumped up from 280 km/s up to 370 km/s and also the solar wind density increased. Initial solar wind velocity had

  • October 5 CME hits Earth – Geomagnetic storm in progress

    The ACE Spacecraft detected a sudden solar wind increase to over 400 km/s at 04:30 UTC. A weak coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth’s magnetic field on Oct. 8th at approximately 05:00 UTC. 15 minutes after A Geomagnetic Sudden Impulse (21 nT) was registered.Low
