Exceptionally fast, Extremely Rare CME launched from farside of the Sun
A powerful coronal mass ejection (CME) with an estimated speed of 3 161 km/s erupted on the Sun’s farside around 16:00 UTC on Tuesday, December 17, 2024.
Solar radiation storm reaches S2 – Moderate level following farside eruption
A strong solar flare erupted well beyond the west limb of the Sun at approximately 18:00 UTC on November 21, 2024. This event produced a large coronal mass ejection (CME) and sparked a solar radiation storm on Earth reaching S2 – Moderate levels on November 22.
S1 – Minor solar radiation storm after full-halo CME associated with solar activity on the far side
A full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME) first visible in LASCO C2 imagery at 03:36 UTC on March 13, 2023, produced S1 – Minor Solar Radiation Storm at 07:50 UTC.
Major farside coronal mass ejection (CME) and radiation storm
A spectacular full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted on the farside of the Sun on September 5, 2022. The source is Active Region 3088, which is expected to return to Earth’s view in about a week.
Powerful farside eruption captured by Solar Orbiter in unique image
The ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft has captured the largest solar prominence eruption ever observed in a single image together with the full solar disc. This latest event took place on February 15, 20221 on the far side of the Sun and extended millions of…
Large farside eruption creates impressive coronal mass ejection (CME)
A powerful eruption took place on the farside of the Sun at around 22:23 UTC on February 15, 2022, creating an impressive coronal mass ejection (CME). This is one of the largest CMEs of Solar Cycle 25. The source region for this event is beyond the east limb and…
Plasma filament eruptions detected on the Sun, Earth-directed CME possible
Two plasma filament eruptions were detected on the Sun on July 5, 2018, and it seems at least one weak Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was produced; ETA July 9 or 10. In addition, a relatively strong farside eruption took place on July 5 and its CME (not…
Major solar flare erupts near the eastern limb, no Earth-directed CMEs
A pair of solar flares erupted near the eastern limb of the Sun at about 00:55 and 03:25 UTC on July 23, 2017, and were observed in STEREO-A EUVI 195 imagery. The source is Active Region 2665 which produced a long-duration M2.4 solar flare and Earth-directed CME on…
Major solar flares erupting behind the northeast limb
A major solar flare was detected behind Sun's northeast limb on September 1, 2014. STEREO Behind spacecraft, watching farside of the Sun, captured what is most likely an X-class solar flare starting at 11:05 UTC.This major solar flare was associa
Farside CME hurled toward Mercury and Venus
An active region on the far side of the sun erupted on October 14 and hurled a significant coronal mass ejection toward Mercury and Venus. Analysts at the Goddard Space Flight Center expect the cloud to hit the innermost planet on October 15 around 08:30 UTC….
