A huge magnetic filament erupted off the Sun's southwestern limb during the early hours of February 27, 2013. Most of the plasma looks to be headed away from the Earth though. On the Earth side of the Sun, Active Region 1682 developed a 'beta-gamma'
A large filament stretching hundreds of thousands of kilometers erupted on Thursday, January 31, 2013. The eruption lasted about 4 hours and was located in the northeast quadrant of the Sun.The following SDO video shows a variety of views of the break-up of this
An Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) on January 31, 2013 (07:09 UTC) was accompanied by a large prominence eruption best visible in light with a wavelength of 304 angstroms. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this footage from 10 p.m. EST (03:00 UTC)
NASA’s SDO recorded a beautiful solar prominence eruption just beyond the eastern limb on January 10,
The Sun is constantly roiling with nuclear heat and intense magnetism that make sunspots, flares, coronal mass ejections, and all sorts of space weather. When directed toward Earth, those solar blasts can disrupt satellite and radio communications, damage our
At 07:51 UTC, November 16, 2012 a C1.4 solar flare peaked from Active Region 1613. About the same time, a large solar prominence was observed off the Sun’s eastern limb. Prominence produced Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), however it does not appear to be Earth directed.
Solar activity is moderate. Three C-class events were observed overnight and giant plasma filled prominence occurred on the southwest limb. M1.0 solar flare was registered around 02:11 UTC but it was not associated with numbered active region. Amazing plasma filled
A weak CME shock was observed in the solar wind by the ACE and SOHO/CELIAS instruments on October 31st afternoon around 14:45 UTC. The solar wind speed jumped up from 280 km/s up to 370 km/s and also the solar wind density increased. Initial solar wind velocity had
Solar activity was at low levels. The largest event during last 48 hours was a long duration C1 solar flare with a large prominence erupted on September 23 around 15:56 UTC from an area behind the eastern limb. It produces CME cloud with no threat to Earth.Some
Solar activity is expected to be low with a slight chance for M-class flares for the next three days, mainly from Region 1569. NOAA/SWPC estimates 20% chances of M-class solar flare. Region 1564 is crackling with C-class flares.The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet
