Several strong solar flares and CME’s seen at farside

At least three large CME clouds were observed during last 24 hours but all of them were at far side so there is no danger for Earth, they are heading away from our planet. Old Sunspot 1564 was probably source of the flares. STEREO Behind COR2 recorded bright flash with

Solar activity is expected to be low with a slight chance for M-class flares for the next three days, mainly from Region 1569. NOAA/SWPC estimates 20% chances of M-class solar flare. Region 1564 is crackling with C-class flares.The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet

Anyone who observes solar activity here and there surely noticed spectacular solar filament on August 31, 2012. We saw amazing images presented to us by solar observatories in space and now SOHO combined all recordings from EUVI, COR1, COR2 and HI1 that give us clear

Geomagnetic storming levels back to normal

Geomagnetic storming levels back to normal

Geomagnetic storming reached the G2 (Moderate) level at high latitudes again early today. Bright auroras could be seen around Arctic Circle. It was sparked by one of two coronal mass ejections observed on September 2.  Solar radiation storm levels have returned to

Geomagnetic activity at normal levels while another CME impact expected

Geomagnetic activity at normal levels while another CME impact expected

NOAA/SWPC reported that the G1 (minor) Geomagnetic Storm has ended with the return of normal solar wind conditions. Currently solar winds blow at speed of 419.1 km/sec. Earthbound proton levels are now below the S1 Minor Radiation Storm threshold and geomagnetic

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)

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

New active region produced strong M5.5 solar flare

New active region produced strong M5.5 solar flare

A new Active Region off the northeastern limb is really active and is crackling with M-class solar flares. Latest strong solar flare, reaching M5.5, occurred at 01:02 UTC on August 18. It did not produce Earth-directed CME.New active region is numbered as 1547

The second M-Class flare today around the new active region

The second M-Class flare today around the new active region

The second M-class solar flare occurred today off the northeast limb at 17:20 UTC. It was measured as low-level M1.0 flare. The M1 flare was accompanied by a short duration Tenflare (10 cm Radio Burst) at levels of 140 sfu.  It is a second M-class solar  flare
