Solar activities intensified again yesterday with bright coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by M1 solar flare. Sunspot 1410 located in the northwest quadrant produced a moderate solar flare, reaching M1.0 at 20:00 UTC Monday afternoon. The flare was about an hour
Recently formed sunspot 1401 awoke yesterday afternoon and produced an M1.7 solar flare at 19:12 UTC. AR 1401 has a Beta-Gamma magnetic configuration which could lead to further solar flares. NOAA forecasters estimate a 15% to 20% chance of polar geomagnetic storms
A very long in duration C6.4 event was detected around Sunspot 1402 in the northeast quadrant. A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was produced, but is directed to the north and east. Most of the magnetic activity in this event appears to be above the actual
Emerging over the sun’s southeastern limb, sunspot AR1389 unleashed two M-class solar flares on Dec. 29th. A moderate M2.0 solar flare occur at 21:51 UTC Thursday evening and a moderate M1.9 Solar Flare this morning at 13:50 UTC. The blasts show that the
An M-Class flare with a double peak took place this afternoon at 20:30 UTC around active Sunspot 1387. The flare measured M2.3 and was captured by SDO in the image below. A long duration C5.7 Solar Flare was detected around Sunspot 1384 this morning (Dec 26) and
Sunspot 1387 produced another M-Class flare, this time peaking at M1.5. This latest solar flare took place at 02:27 UTC Monday morning and indicates the potential for bigger things to come.New sunspot 1387 erupted during the late hours of Christmas Day, producing an
Sunspot AR1363 is growing rapidly, more than doubling in size since Friday. A 48-hour movie from NASA’s SOlar Dynamic Observatory shows the expansion:The active region has a “beta-gamma” magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. Because of
UPDATE: The Geomagnetic Storm has subsided over the past few hours. However, the solar wind remains energized and occasional pulses of activity are expected for another 24 hours. Region 1283, the responsible party back at the Sun, decayed today. The Geomagnetic Storm
The northwestern limb of the sun is crackling with M-class solar flares. The source appears to be departing sunspot complex 1280-1286. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) emerging from the blast site are not Earth-directed. Nevertheless, these flares are having a minor
An M1.1 Solar Flare took place at 16:07 UTC Wednesday and was centered around Sunspot 1260. Click HERE for a still image captured by the GOES SXI. More to follow.iSwacNOAA SWPC Space Weather NowLatest Alert: Jul 27 1214 UTC CONTINUED ALERT: Electron 2MeV
