4TH OF JULY AURORA WATCH: Multiple CMEs are heading for Earth, prompting an aurora watch for the 4th of July holiday weekend. The CMEs were launched by a series of strong solar flares this week, including one X-class eruption. If they all hit, they could spark moderate to strong geomagnetic storms in the nights ahead.

EARTH-DIRECTED X-FLARE AND CME: Solar activity is at high levels following multiple explosions in new sunspot AR4479. The strongest so far, an X1.1-class solar flare on June 30th, hurled a CME directly toward Earth. This will bring a chance of geomagnetic storms and auroras later this week.

Another large sunspot is growing in the sun’s northern hemisphere. AR4479 is directly facing Earth and it has a delta-class magnetic field that poses a threat for X-class solar flares.

BIG SUNSPOT ALERT: A remarkably large sunspot is emerging over the sun’s southeastern limb. Not only does it pose a potential threat for Earth-directed flares, but also it is big enough for easy observing by amateur astronomers. Find out how to see it on today’s edition of Spaceweather.com.

ANOTHER CME IS COMING: The sun just launched another CME toward Earth. Minor (G1) to strong (G3) geomagnetic storms are possible when it arrives on June 8th. If the storm becomes strong, naked-eye auroras could spread across much of Europe, Canada, and at least a dozen northern-tier US states. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WARNING: NOAA forecasters are predicting strong geomagnetic storms this week as a rare ‘anti-Hale’ sunspot peppers Earth with strong solar flares. The X-class and near-X-class explosions are currently happening every 6 to 8 hours with CMEs expected to reach our planet beginning June 5th. Mid-latitude auroras are possible after the CMEs arrive. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.

Solar activity is intensifying today following a strong M9-class solar flare from anti-Hale sunspot 4455.
“Anti-Hale” means the sunspot has a reversed-polarity magnetic field, which makes it unstable and explosive.
The CME produced by today’s explosion is expected to reach Earth on June 5th, according to a NASA model.
Stay tuned for updates!

SOLAR ACTIVITY ALERT:  A sunspot with a history of CME production is turning toward Earth. Yesterday, the active region blew a massive hole in the sun’s atmosphere with debris that will barely miss our planet later this week. Now, we’re moving deeper into the strike zone.

X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE AND CME: NASA’s Artemis rocket might be launching into a geomagnetic storm. This morning, an X-class solar flare hurled a fast and massive CME into space. It is expected to make contact with Earth on March 31st, sparking geomagnetic storms on the night before the Moon rocket’s launch window opens. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.

AN ‘EQUINOX CME’ IS COMING: Earlier today, an Earth-directed solar flare launched a CME almost directly toward our planet. It is due to arrive just hours before the northern vernal equinox, setting the stage for amplification via the Russell-McPherron effect. Mid-latitude auroras are possible on March 19-20.
