π Early this morning, on July 14, 2024, a powerful X1.27 solar flare occurred on the Sun in sunspot region AR3738 at 2:23 UTC. This event briefly ionized the upper layers of the atmosphere and caused significant radio blackout at R3 level in the western Pacific Ocean region.
βοΈ Scientists are currently studying the direction of the associated coronal mass ejection (CME).
π If the CME is directed towards Earth, a G-3 geomagnetic storm is expected on Tuesday, with the possibility of observing polar auroras at unusually southern latitudes by Tuesday evening.
π‘ Solar flares are classified based on the intensity of their X-ray emissions: the most powerful belong to class X, emitting β₯10-1 erg/(cmΒ²s) in the 1-8 Γ range. Class M flares are 10 times weaker, and class C flares are 100 times weaker compared to class X flares.
π Stay tuned for further updates on space weather.
π On July 28, a powerful M9.9-class solar flare occurred near the central disk of the Sun, accompanied by a coronal wave and dimming. This flare caused a coronal mass ejection (CME) directed towards Earth. The CME is expected to reach our planet on July 31.
π‘ When such ejections reach Earth, they can cause disturbances in our planet's magnetic field, leading to geomagnetic storms. This can affect satellites, communications, and even cause the appearance of auroras. We recommend being prepared for possible communication disruptions and keeping an eye on space weather updates.
βΌοΈ Last night, residents and visitors of Sutherland, Scotland, were treated to a truly unforgettable spectacle β the Northern Lights. The vibrant colors of the night sky, including unusual purplish-pink hues for auroras, were captured in stunning photographs taken by Monika Focht.
The aurora, caused by a solar storm, painted the sky in bright colors, attracting the attention of many people, including astronomy enthusiasts and photographers. 28.08.2024
π Currently, due to the weakening of the magnetic field, we observe the Northern Lights penetrating into lower latitudes. Such phenomena shouldn't occur in these regions, but they do. Moreover, these auroras were RED! This is a kind of 'black mark' for humanity, signaling potential threats to human healthβΌοΈ π£ Source: https://t.iss.one/GCC_report/2159
βοΈToday, October 8, 2024, a spectacular eruption of solar material was observed on the Sun, directed southward. This event was captured by the coronagraph aboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).
π« At the same time, Comet C/2023 A3 appeared in the coronagraph's field of view, moving further into the observable area and potentially becoming one of the brightest comets ever recorded by SOHO. Letβs keep an eye on these exciting phenomena in space! π
πX-Class Flare with Earth-Directed Plasma Ejection
βΌοΈ Today, reports emerged of a new X-class solar flare. The radiation began to increase at 01:25 UT, reaching its peak at 01:58. There are several key points to consider. First, a significant plasma ejection was recorded, and even if models suggest otherwise, its configuration rules out the possibility of missing Earth. Second, the flareβs location is noteworthy. The explosion occurred in a large sunspot in the northern part of the Sun, which has been notable for its size over the past 10 days but only just became active.
β οΈ Important Warning: This event could lead to communication disruptions, and the appearance of auroras at lower latitudes is expected. People sensitive to geomagnetic activity should take precautions, as heightened magnetic disturbances may follow.
#USA#Delaware#GlobalCrisis#aurora#NorthernLights#climate#destruction#anomaly πΊπΈ At the moment, a rare phenomenon β the northern lights (Aurora Borealis) β can be observed in many countries around the world, caused by a powerful solar storm affecting the Earth's magnetic field. Solar winds, triggered by solar flares, interact with the upper layers of the planetβs atmosphere, creating the effect of bright light streaks in the sky, which we call the aurora.π
π₯ The video, recorded on October 10, captures the aurora in the state of Delaware, USA β a very rare occurrence for these latitudes.
πRecently, updated information about the movement of Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas has appeared on social media. Its passage seems to coincide with a powerful coronal mass ejection (CME) in the plane of the sky; however, in three-dimensional space, it may look different. Scientists continue to closely monitor these phenomena.
πAnother solar flare has intensified the geomagnetic storm. According to meteorological data, it reaches a level of six and is one of the longest-lasting storms of the year.
π During this period, many people may experience headaches, weakness, fluctuations in blood pressure, and mood swings. November 10, 2024
π Over the past 24 hours, a series of powerful eruptions have been observed on the Sun. In the southern hemisphere, a large solar filament lifted off, followed by a prominence eruption on the northeastern limb. Additionally, two more filament eruptions were recorded in the northwestern and northeastern quadrants.
π On November 21, 2024, around 18:00 UTC, a powerful solar eruption occurred behind the Sun's western limb, triggering an extremely energetic coronal mass ejection (CME). The eruption was accompanied by a shock wave that accelerated protons to energies exceeding 500 MeV.
Experts report that this event has caused the most energetic solar radiation storm since 2005, or possibly since the famous Halloween storms of 2003. The storm's hard radiation spectrum highlights the magnitude of the eruption.
π‘The likely source of this event is one of the Sun's active regionsβeither Region 3889 or Region 3897βlocated on the far side of the Sun. Despite its scale, the CME does not appear to have an Earth-directed component, as the coronal wave remained localized near the western limb.
π Unfortunately, the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter were not in favorable positions to observe the event remotely or in situ, limiting detailed analysis of the phenomenon.
π On November 27, 2024, the Sun exhibited notable activity that captured the attention of scientists. Around 18:45 UTC, a solar filament eruption occurred in the southeastern region of the solar disk. This event was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME) directed predominantly southward, minimizing its potential impact on Earth, though a slight glancing blow remains possible.
πLater, around 20:00 UTC, a farside CME event was observed on the Sun's southeast limb. Its influence is expected to remain limited, with no significant effects on Earthβs magnetosphere.
π Throughout November, solar spot numbers rose sharply, surpassing 200 once again. The monthly average reached approximately 150, significantly higher than anticipated. These findings suggest that the peak of the current Solar Cycle 25 will be stronger and occur later than previously estimated. Experts confirm there is no evidence of a "Grand Solar Minimum" at this time.
βΌοΈ This heightened solar activity highlights the dynamic nature of the ongoing solar cycle. Monitoring continues as these solar events influence space weather, satellite operations, radio communications, and navigation systems on Earth.
