Impulsive X1.5 solar flare erupts from geoeffective AR 3006
An impulsive solar flare measuring X1.5 erupted at 13:55 UTC on May 10, 2022, from Active Region 3006. The event started at 13:50 UTC and ended at 13:59.
X1.1 solar flare erupts from the Sun’s SE limb
A major solar flare measuring X1.1 erupted from a region located at the Sun’s southeastern limb at 13:25 UTC on May 3, 2022. The event started at 13:09 UTC and ended at 13:31.
Major X1.1 solar flare erupts from the Sun’s west limb
A major solar flare measuring X1.1 erupted from the Sun’s west limb at 13:47 UTC on April 30, 2022. The event started at 13:37 UTC and ended at 13:52.
Major X2.2 solar flare erupts just beyond the southwest limb of the Sun
A major solar flare measuring X2.2 at its peak erupted at 03:57 UTC on April 20, 2022 from a region located just beyond the southwest limb of the Sun – likely former Region 2992. The event started at 03:41 UTC and ended at 04:04.
Major X1.1 solar flare erupts from Active Region 2994
A major solar flare measuring X1.1 at its peak erupted from newly numbered Active Region 2994 at 03:34 UTC on April 17, 2022. The event started at 03:17 UTC and ended at 03:51. A coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced during the event but the location of the source region does not favor Earth-directed CMEs. This will change in the days ahead as the region turns into geoeffective position.
