A rare anemone active region AR 4493 has developed INSIDE the large coronal hole facing Earth. This has essentially split the coronal hole in two as active regions have large, overarching CLOSED magnetic fields which basically “repel” coronal holes and open magnetic field lines. The […]
It looks like the next few days are gonna be rocky for a lot of people in one way or another. An Earth-facing Sun Spot that’s gained power in the last couple days started tossing M Class Solar Flares today. I’m not seeing any word […]
SOLAR FLARE ALERT: Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected a M2.5 class solar flare at 20-Jul-2026 at 14:36:00 UTC. Check Spaceweather.com for updates An R1 (minor) radio blackout is possible on the sunlit side of Earth.
We had another fairly quiet day today, and we’ll have another fairly quiet day for most of tomorrow, then we won’t have a quiet for a few days. 🙁 . The CH HSS from the large Coronal Hole we talked about yesterday is anticipated to […]
A very large, snaking coronal hole is almost directly facing Earth. Fast wind from the “hook” in the southern hemisphere may reach us as early as tomorrow (July 20). Mid-latitude auroral displays are possible along with minor-moderate geomagnetic storms in the coming nights. The issue […]
The small Coronal Hole we talked about a couple days ago has disappeared, but a new, large, transequatorial Coronal Hole’s CH HSS is expected to arrive 7/21-7/22 and it’s expected to take Solar Wind Speeds into the 700 km/sec. Electron Saturation will likely stay above […]
An impressive, large shepherd’s hook-shaped coronal hole is moving to directly face Earth soon! This extended area of open magnetic fields is sending fast solar wind into space. Eventually this will sweep over Earth, maybe in the next 3-4 days, triggering minor-moderate geomagnetic storms. If […]
Something unusual is taking shape on the Sun… A massive, hook-shaped coronal hole stretching more than 400,000 miles has rapidly opened on the Earth-facing side of the Sun, spanning both the northern and southern hemispheres—and it’s still growing. As this enormous opening faces Earth, a […]
