The Sun is showing real solar-maximum-like activity today. After 2 moderate solar flares last night, an X1.7 erupted at 02:15 UTC. It was followed by another M-class at 12:03 UTC and numerous C-class flares.
At 15:48 UTC, on May 13,
A new active region behind east limb produced powerful X1.7 solar flare on May 13, 2013 at 02:15 UTC. This event was associated with strong R3 Radio Blackout Alert, Type II Radio Emission and 10 cm Radio Burst.
This was the strongest solar flare of
Active Region 1618 keeps evolving and it has now Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic configuration that harbors energy for M- and X-class eruptions. It produced an M3.5 flare with peak at 15:30 UTC on November 21, related to a halo CME first seen at 16:12 UTC by SOHO’s LASCO
X1.8 solar flare peaked at 03:17 UTC on October 23, 2012 around Active Region 1598, which is still several days away from directly facing Earth from center disk. NOAA/SWPC forecasters estimated 20% chance for another X-class event.Space Weather Message Code:
According to a study published in the New Scientist back in 1998, there is a direct connection between the Sun's solar storms and human biological effects. The conduit which facilitates the charged particles from the Sun to human disturbance – is the very same…
A major and long duration solar flare peaked at 16:52 UTC on July 12, 2012. The source of this solar flare is Region 1520. A Type II and IV Sweep frequency events were recorded. Strong R3 radio blackout on the sunlit side of the Earth was recorded. This solar flare
As expected, a giant sunspot AR1515 unleashed a strong X1.1 solar flare on July 6th at 23:08 UTC. This event triggered a 10cm Radio Burst and a Type IV Sweep Frequency Event. Preliminary analysis indicates the Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) associated with this event is
As we got used to M-class and waited a day to pass to report an overview of July 6, 2012 a major solar flare peaked. At 23:08 a major solar flare reaching X1.1 peaked. The flare was centered around Sunspot 1515.Strong R3 radio blackout was reported.Potential
Massive sunspot AR1429 has unleashed another major X-class solar flare on March 7th at 00:28 UTC. This one is the strongest yet, ranked as X5,4. It is the second strongest solar flare of Cycle 24 in terms of X-Ray Flux. This eruption hurled a bright CME into
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
