Small CME impact, Record visitor amount

neděle 12. května 2024 10:12 UTC

Geomagnetic conditions have subsided considerably since the intense storm conditions during 10 and 11 May. Storm conditions that several times reached the Extreme G5 geomagnetic storm threshold and rivaled the 2003 Halloween Solar Storms.

Strongest geomagnetic storm since 2003, X5.8 solar flare

sobota 11. května 2024 13:08 UTC

The geomagnetic storm that commenced yesterday will go down in the record books as the strongest geomagnetic storm since the Halloween Solar Storms of 2003. The May 2024 storms thus far peaked at a Dst of -412 nT.

Severe G4 geomagnetic storm

pátek 10. května 2024 22:12 UTC

Intense geomagnetic storm conditions continue with yet another period where we reached the severe G4 geomagnetic storm level which equals a Kp of 8. Aurora displays have been reported from all over Europe. Even locations as far south as Austria and Switzerland are seeing some amazing aurora as you can see on this image overlooking the Swiss alps.

Severe G4 geomagnetic storm watch

čtvrtek 9. května 2024 18:34 UTC

Sunspot region 3664 which is easily the most complex sunspot region of the current Solar Cycle thus far continues where it left of yesterday, producing countless of M-class solar flares today and three X-class events (X1.0, X2.2 and X1.1). It remains an extremely complex sunspot region which has the potential to produce more major solar flares, perhaps even exceeding X5 or even X10.

Sunspot region 3664, major flares and CMEs!

středa 8. května 2024 18:09 UTC

What a day! Sunspot region 3664 and 3668 have merged into a very complex sunspot cluster which has been producing a ton of M-class activity and even two X1 events. The first of these two X-class solar flares was unremarkable but the second X1 solar flare produced a coronal mass ejection with an earth-directed component but more on that later. We are also going to take a look at an M-class event which also produced a coronal mass ejection. A lot to go over today!

X4.5 solar flare

pondělí 6. května 2024 18:32 UTC

Sunspot region 3663 celebrates the start of a new week with a massive X4.5 (R3-strong) solar flare. This is the third strongest solar flare of solar cycle 25 and the strongest solar flare produced by this sunspot region thus far. Sounds great right? When will I be able to see aurora I hear you ask...

Sunspot region 3663, X1 solar flare

sobota 4. května 2024 07:24 UTC

Sunspot region 3663 has developed into a complex sunspot region over the past few days with a Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic layout. This complex magnetic layout already produced countless of M-class solar flares and one X1.6 solar flare which is going to be the focus of this article.
