Major solar flare measuring X1.7 erupted from Region 1882

Following days of increased solar activity newly emerging Active Region 1882 erupted with major solar flare measuring X1.7 on October 25, 2013. The event started at 07:53, peaked at 08:01 and ended at 08:08 UTC.

Third major X-class solar flare in 24 hours – X3.2 on May 14, 2013

Third major X-class solar flare in 24 hours – X3.2 on May 14, 2013

Solar activity increased rapidly in the past two days with three M-class and three major X-class solar events. The latest recorded is the strongest flare so far this year, recorded as X3.2 on May 14, 2013 at 01:17 UTC.  This event was associated with Type II and

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

Solar storms and pineal gland – riding the power wave

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…

Welcome to active solar July! X-flare, geomagnetic storming, new sunspots

Welcome to active solar July! X-flare, geomagnetic storming, new sunspots

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
