• Long duration M1.2 solar flare, Full-Halo Earth directed CME

    Region 1692 erupted with long duration M-class solar flare peaking at 06:50 UTC as M1.2 solar flare on March 15, 2013. The event started at 05:52 and ended at 07:30 UTC. A Full-Halo Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed and it looks to be Earth directed.A 10cm

  • Impulsive M1.2 solar flare erupted from Region 1686

    An impulsive M-class solar flare measuring M1.2 erupted from Region 1686 on March 5, 2013. The event started at 07:47, peaked at 07:54 and ended at 07:59 UTC. A Type II Radio Emission was associated. Type II emissions occur in association with eruptions on the Sun

  • The Watchers Monthly Report – January 2013

    In January we saw some increased seismic activity worldwide. The strongest earthquake was registered as M 7.5 and it hit Southeastern Alaska on January 5, 2013. M 6.8 hit Atacama region in Chile on January 30, 2013. Sharp increase in seismic activity was recorded…

  • Moderate solar flare reaching M1.7 erupted from AR 1652

    A second moderate solar flare erupted on January 13, 2013 from AR 1652. M1.7 solar flare peaked at 08:38 UTC. The event started at 08:35, peaked at 08:38 and ended at 08:40 UTC. Type II and IV radio emissions were associated with the event. Type II emissions occur

  • Active Region 1652 produced M1.0 solar flare

    Beta-gamma-delta Active Region 1652 generated M1.0 solar flare at 00:50 UTC on January 13, 2013. Considering the position of Sunspot 1652, which is facing Earth, geoeffective CME is possible. Active Region 1652 (Credit: SDO/The Watchers)  There are

  • Impulsive solar flare measuring M1.2 erupted from AR 1654

    A moderate but impulsive M-class solar flare measuring M1.2 erupted from big Active Region 1654 on January 11, 2013 at 09:11 UTC. A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is expected as ejecta has been observed exiting the blast area.  A Type II and Type IV Radio Emissions were

  • Moderate solar flare reaching M1.7 erupted from Region 1650

    After a long period of quiet time the Sun has sent us a greetings card today. At 9:31 UTC on January 5, 2013 an M1.7 solar flare peaked from Region 1650. The event started at 9:26, peaked at 9:31 and ended at 9:34 UTC. As of early morning today Region 1650

  • Sunspot 1620 generated M2.2 solar flare

    Sunspot 1620 produced M2.2 solar flare with peak at 21:36 UTC on November 28, 2012. Fast growing sunspot AR1620 has a beta-gamma-delta magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares. M-class activity is also possible from region AR 1618 which has now
