Old Sunspot 1431 is now rotating back into view off the southeast limb and is also producing solar flares. So far this afternoon it produced a minor C6.5 flare, followed by a moderate M1.0 event at 19:40 UTC. Various small sunspots did form including regions 1441, 1442
Solar activity is increasing! Massive sunspot AR1429 emerged on March 2nd and it is crackling with strong solar flares. Sunspot 1429 just produced a short duration M2.1 solar flare at 19:16 UTC, followed by an M1.8 at 19:30 UTC. These are in addition to smaller
At 10:45 UTC Sunday morning, March 4, 2012, a long duration M2.0 solar flare peaked and generated Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). The latest blast was again centered around Sunspot 1429 located in the northeast quadrant. A 46 minute long 10cm Radio Burst,
A new and active Sunspot is now rotating into view on the northeast limb. It produced a moderate M3.3 solar flare at 17:45 UTC on Friday afternoon. All of the other current regions have been stable since the C3.3 flare around 1423 on Thursday. The new and active
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
