Solar Event

4/9 p Post by Connie Howell: Sun Spot 4409 tossed a parting shot at Earth this morning from the fringes of the Sun. It’ll probably be able to do that for 2 more days, but otherwise we’ve only got 3 Sun Spots facing Earth atm […]

Per Connie Howell: Our Space Weather’s changed pretty quickly in the past 2 days – we’re out of Geomagnetic Storm Watches, Solar Wind Speed’s dropped into the 400 km/sec range today, and Solar Flares are mainly staying in the B Class range since Sun Spot […]

From Connie Howell: While we didn’t have any more Geomagnetic Storms today, Solar Activity is still uncomfortable thanks to Solar Flares, Solar Wind Speed and Electron Saturation. The Sun Spot we’ve been tracking is utterly unphased now that it’s entered the Sun-Earth Magnetic Line and […]

A G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm watch has been issued for 03-04 Apr, 2026 due to combined influence from on-going CH HSS and a CME that left the Sun on 01 Apr. Stay tuned to our website for updates. G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm levels were reached […]

X-Flare and CME! AR 4405 erupted this morning at 03:18 UTC (Mar 30) with a surprise X1.5 solar flare. This event launched a halo coronal mass ejection (CME) into space which also appears to have an Earth directed component. Although the main bulk of plasma […]

This came in shortly before midnight eastern time. An X1.5 flare was produced by Region 4405, peaking at 0319 UTC on 30 March and resulted in an R3 (Strong) Radio Blackout. An associated coronal mass ejection is seen in coronagraph imagery and analysis is currently […]

“A new analysis of Starlink satellites falling from the sky has revealed a distinct pattern: as the Sun escalated towards the peak of its activity cycle between 2020 and 2024, so too did the number of satellite falls as a direct result of that activity. […]
