Solar activity is gradually increasing. From 20 till 23 February, there was 1 CME each day. Only the first one had an earth-directed component, the other CMEs were clearly directed away from Earth or farside events.

The extreme ultraviolet imager, EUI is 1 full year in space in its VIP seat behind the heath shield from where it peeks through a hole at the Sun. The EUI team worked hard to get down the coolest images ever.

Space Weather is 'in' and more and more organisations want to learn about it. They are right to do so.
Solar storms drop their energy in the Earth's magnetosphere and atmosphere and as such lie at the basis of space weather. Technology that relies on satellite navigation and radio wave propagation can be impacted by space weather, as well as large energy transport systems like electrical grids. Harmful radiation at flight altitude can increase when a solar storm hits Earth.

Late on 2 February, a filament near the northwestern solar limb became unstable and erupted. The associated CME was not directed to Earth.

Last week, in response to the high speed solar wind stream associated with a coronal hole, the level of energetic electrons in the Earth's magnetosphere increased significantly. Fortunately, this time, these "killer electrons" did not permanently phase out a satellite.

On 22 January, a bright fireball illuminated the morning skies of the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom and the north of France. BRAMS stations did not capture the radio signal of this fireball due to a particular set of circumstances.

Based on the sunspot activity of the last few months, Solar Cycle 25 seems to be on a slightly faster track than the previous solar cycle.

Small active region NOAA 2790 produced a long duration C7 flare and was associated with an earth-directed full halo coronal mass ejection. UPDATE: As predicted, the CME arrived at Earth early on 10 December but it did not produce significant geomagnetic activity.
