Happy new year everybody! There were no fireworks on the Sun during the past few days to welcome in the New Year. Things are actually rather quiet on our nearest star right now... or could this be over soon? Sunspot region 2253 has been developing slowly over the past few days and is now showing signs that it is also increasing in magnetic complexity. Can we expect to see the first M-class solar flare of 2015 soon?
A lot of people come to SpaceWeatherLive to follow the Sun's activity or if there is aurora to be seen, but with more traffic comes higher server costs. Consider a donation if you enjoy SpaceWeatherLive so we can keep the website online!
