Impressive eruption

No C-class or stronger flares, and several spotless days: Last week will not be remembered for its high solar activity. Fortunately, some spotless active regions were rounding the east solar limb

A long duration geomagnetic storm

Early May, one small and one large coronal hole transited the solar disk's centre. As expected, the associated high speed streams arrived at Earth just a few days later.

The gif underneath shows SDO/HMI imagery of the solar disk from 1 till 8 June.

Quiet week, lovely events

Solar flaring activity was once again restricted to a handful of minor C-class flares this week. A few regions drew away all attention: Departing NOAA 2546, emerging NOAA 2548, and ...

An early application...

We are still far from the year's end, yet we already received an application for the most impressive solar event of the year. A relatively modest C3 flare ...

One year with no X-class flares

X-class flares are "eXtreme" x-ray solar events, 10 times more powerful than a "medium" M-class flare, and 100 times more powerful than the "common" C-class flares.
