• Long-duration X1.9 solar flare erupts from Region 4341, Earth-directed CME produced

    ByTeo Blašković

    A long-duration X1.9 solar flare erupted from Active Region 4341 at 18:09 UTC on January 18, 2026. The event began at 17:27 and ended at 18:51 UTC. Coronagraph imagery indicates that a full halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced during the eruption. Given the location of the source region on the solar disk, the CME is considered likely to be at least partially Earth-directed, pending further analysis of its speed and magnetic structure.

  • G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm forecast following Earth-directed CME produced by M8.1 solar flare

    ByTeo Blašković

    A G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm watch is in effect following a powerful M8.1 solar flare from geoeffective Active Region 4299 at 20:39 UTC on December 6, 2025. The resulting full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME) is expected to impact Earth between early and midday UTC on December 9, possibly producing periods of strong geomagnetic storming.

  • Sun blasted CME toward Mars

    ByChillymanjaro

    A bright CME blasted off the sun on Oct. 22nd, and it appears to be heading for Mars. Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab expect the cloud to reach the Red Planet on Oct. 26th (forecast track). A brief discussion of what CMEs can do to Mars follows this SOHO
