• Impulsive M7.3 solar flare erupts from Region 2673

    An impulsive solar flare measuring M7.3 at its peak time erupted from Region 2673 at 10:15 UTC on September 7, 2017. The event started at 10:11, peaked at 10:15 and ended at 10:18 UTC. It comes a day after two major X-class solar flares erupted from the same region….

  • Shock arrival from September 4 Coronal Mass Ejection

    The coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by the M5.5 solar flare on September 4, 2017 arrived at the DSCOVR spacecraft on September 6 at 23:08 UTC and at Earth 30 minutes later. The impact did not spark a geomagnetic storm, but the potential still exists as the CME…

  • Direct CME hit expected, G3 Strong geomagnetic storm watch issued

    An asymmetric full halo Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) produced by the M5.5 solar flare at 20:33 UTC on September 4, 2017 is traveling toward Earth and is expected to arrive late on September 6. G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for September 6 and 7….

  • Solar flare measuring M1.1 erupts from Region 2672

    A moderately strong solar flare measuring M1.1 erupted from new Region 2672 (beta) at 01:52 UTC on August 20, 2017. The event started at 01:36 and ended at 02:03 UTC. Solar activity was at moderate levels on August 20 due to an M1 flare from an emerging region on…

  • Long-duration M2.4 solar flare erupts, Earth-directed CME

    Active Region 2665 produced a long-duration solar flare measuring M2.4 at its peak time on July 14, 2017. The event lasted for more than 2 hours; it started at 01:07, peaked at 02:09 and ended at 03:24 UTC. The eruption produced a coronal mass ejection (CME) with an…

  • Impulsive M1.3 solar flare erupts from big Region 2665

    Big sunspot region 2665 (beta) erupted with an impulsive solar flare measuring M1.3 at its peak time on July 9, 2017. The event started at 03:09, peaked at 03:18 and ended at 03:37 UTC. The last time our star unleashed an M-class solar flare was on July 4, 2017….

  • Impulsive M1.3 solar flare erupts near the west limb

    Solar activity was at moderate levels on July 3, 2017, with 14 B-class and one impulsive M1.3 solar flare observed at 16:15 UTC. The M-class event started at 15:37 and ended at 16:18 UTC. The last time our star unleashed an M-class solar flare was on April 3, 2017….
