Happy Solstice Day! According to Spaceweather.com : A large and complicated group of sunspots has just emerged over the sun's southeastern limb. The group includes at least 15 dark cores and sprawls across more than 250,000 km of the sun's surface.

According to Spaceweather.com : A CME was supposed to narrowly miss Earth today. Instead, it delivered a direct hit. NOAA's DSCOVR spacecraft recorded the impact on Dec. 17th (0519 UT). Conditions appear favorable for G1 to G2-class geomagnetic storms in the hours ahead.

According to Spaceweather.com : Geomagnetic unrest is possible on Dec. 17th when one or more CMEs are expected to pass close to Earth. The near misses will probably fall short of sparking a full-fledged geomagnetic storm. Nevertheless, auroras could fill the Arctic Circle as the solar storm clouds pass by.

ccording to Spaceweather.com : Solar activity has been low for more than a week. That could change this weekend. Sunspot AR3917 is growing rapidly with an increasingly complex magnetic field that harbors energy for strong explosions. If current trends continue, it could soon break the silence with a significant flare

@ The Northern and Southern half of the Sun have very different arrays of Sunspots with more X-class and M-class solar flares occurring in the Southern hemisphere. The Northern hemisphere should now start to see more as the magnetic field on the Sun has flipped N->S and S->N. The magnetic flux and the ropes of Magnetic and Electrical fields will now start to converge on the Northern Hemisphere. Thus only 1/2 has contributed to the total Sun’s maximum…. How often, ….well, once every 11 years (Earth measurement). Stuart Riley

Per Spaceweather.com : A G2-class geomagnetic storm is possible on Nov. 28-29 when a CME is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. The CME was hurled into space by a magnetic filament attached to sunspot 3901, which erupted on Nov. 25th. There is a chance this CME will sail south of Earth with little to no contact, so this is a low probability forecast.

Solar activity will probably be low this weekend. There is a potent sunspot on the solar disk, AR3886, but it has resisted flaring for more than a week. Of greater interest is an enormous filament of magnetism straddling the sun's southern hemisphere. Earth will be in the line of fire if it lifts off. Otherwise, the forecast calls for quiet.

ulses of extreme ultraviolet radiation are ionizing the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a series of shortwave radio blackouts rolling around all longitudes of our planet. Ham radio operators may notice intermittent loss of signal at frequencies below below 30 MHz. So far, none of the explosions has produced a significant CME. This could change in response to more explosions later today.

paceweather.com says: “Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible on Nov. 7th when a CME is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. NOAA and NASA models agree that the flank of the CME will only graze our planet's magnetosphere. In fact, a miss is just as likely as a hit, making this a low probability forecast.”

ccording to SpaceWeather.com, for the 7th day in a row, energetic protons from the sun are raining down on Earth. It's an almost S1-class radiation storm, resulting from the collective action of three X-class solar flares since Oct. 24th. These protons are causing a shortwave radio blackout inside the Antarctic Circle.

According to SpaceWeather.com, A CME might graze Earth on Nov. 1st, sparking a minor G1-class geomagnetic storm. The CME was hurled into space by an erupting filament of magnetism on Oct. 29th. A NASA model shows the CME barely touching Earth, so this is a low probability forecast.

For the 3rd day in a row, energetic protons are raining down on Earth. It's an S2-class radiation storm. The protons were accelerated by X-class solar flares on Oct. 24th and 26th. As a result of the storm, a shortwave radio blackout is underway inside the Arctic Circle, and cameras on spacecraft are being fogged. Indeed, most of the speckles in the SOHO coronagraph movie highlighted below are solar protons hitting the camera. This could continue for at least another 24 hours.

NOAA forecasters are predicting a G1-class geomagnetic storm on Oct. 26th when a CME is expected to graze Earth's magnetic field. The CME was hurled into space yesterday by a powerful solar flare (X3.3) from sunspot AR3869. It is not heading straight for our planet, but even a glancing blow from this potent CME could spark bright auroras at high latitudes.

According to SpaceWeather.com, Solar Max is hard work. Just ask the sun. After flaring almost without pause for the past 10 months, the sun is taking a quick break. Solar activity has been low for the past 48 hours with no flares stronger than category C. The quiet won't last. Solar Max is expected to continue for at least another year; flaring should resume shortly.

According to SpaceWeather.com: In a joint statement on Oct. 15th, NASA and NOAA announced that Solar Maximum is underway. If you saw last week's geomagnetic storm, you may have already reached the same conclusion. Good news: Solar Max is not a narrow moment in time; it is a lengthy phase of solar activity that can last for 2 or 3 years. More aurora outbursts are likely in 2024 and 2025

According to Spaceweather.com : A CME is heading for Earth following the powerful X7.1-class solar flare of Oct. 1st. A NOAA model predicts it will arrive on Oct. 4th, potentially causing a strong G3-class geomagnetic storm. The CME is quite faint and superficially wouldn't seem to pack the punch required for a strong storm. At this time of year, however, even weak CMEs can be effective due to the autumnal Russell-McPherron effect.
