Region 1532 unleashed another M-class solar flare – M6.1

On July 28, 2012 at 20:56 UTC Region 1532 unleashed M6.1 solar flare. The solar flare did genarate Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) it does not look Earth directed. The sunspot is still too far off the disk center to be very geoeffective. This will change in the following

Region 1532 erupted with M2.7 solar flare

On July 27, 2012 emerging Region 1532 unleashed an M-class solar flare. This latest event started at 17:17 and peaked at 17:26 UTC as M2.7 solar flare.  It does not look like it produced a substantial CME and even if it did it was not Earth directed.A Type IV

Region 1520 sends another M-class solar flare – M7.7 not Earth directed

Region 1520 is still very active and located on the western limb. Latest event from this Sunspot started on July 19, 2012 at 05:13 and peaked at 5:58 UTC at M7.7. It looks like strong CME was released but since 1520 is located on the western limb it was not be Earth

Two new M-class flares and geomagnetic storming in progress

One of the largest Sunspots of the current cycle is rotating into position for Earth directed Solar Flares. Sunspot 1520 has a Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic configuration and may produce an X-Class flare. M1.1 flare at 05:10 UTC was followed up with a M2.0 flare at 06:27

Strong solar flare reaching M6.9 took place at 16:32 UTC

Notorious Sunspot 1515 produced yet another strong M-class solar flare. This event started at 16:23 UTC on July 8, 2012, peaked 16:32 UTC at M6.9 and ended at 16:42 UTC. Sunspot 1515 is about to rotate to western limb so huge CME it has produced was not Earth

Two more M-class events from Sunspot 1515 – M2.4 and M 2.2

Two more M-class events from Sunspot 1515 – M2.4 and M 2.2

After fifth moderate solar flare on July 4th, reaching M4.6, increased solar activity continues. Very active region 1515 produced two more M-class solar flares. At 01:10 UTC it generated M2.4 solar flare and only hour later, at 02:42 it generated M2.3 solar

Another strong M-class solar flare again – M5.3 from Region 1515 + M2.3

Another strong M-class solar flare again – M5.3 from Region 1515 + M2.3

It does not seem to stop. Region 1515 just produced another solar flare measuring M5.3. The event started 9:47, peaked 9:55 at M5.3 and ended 9:57 UTC on July 4, 2012.Potential Impacts: Area of impact centered primarily on sub-solar point on the sunlit side of

Restless Region 1515 just produced an M-class solar flare again

After series of C-class flares, for last couple of hours, Region 1515 just produced another M-class solar flare. On July 4, 2012 an M2 solar flare peaked at 04:37 UTC. The event started at 04:37 and ended at 04:45 UTC.A Type IV radio emission was measuered.Type IV

Increased solar activity – Third M-class solar flare from Sunspot 1515

Increased solar activity – Third M-class solar flare from Sunspot 1515

Solar Activity continues at moderate to high levels. A minor C6 solar flare around Sunspot 1513 was followed up with yet another M-Class flare around Sunspot 1515. The latest blast peaked at M2.0 and the time of the event was 23:56 UTC.This large Sunspot cluster
