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.

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.

Suddenly, Sunspots Have Vanished
THE FIRST SPOTLESS DAYS SINCE 2022: After 4 years of non-stop sunspot activity, the face of the sun is suddenly blank–no sunspots. The first spotless days since 2022 herald the distant approach of a new Solar Minimum. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.

There are currently 12 sunspot groups on the solar disk, including sunspot 4341, which produced a powerful X2-class solar flare earlier this week.
More flares are likely this weekend, probably of classification.

SOLAR PROTON STORM IN PROGRESS: Energetic protons from the sun are raining down on Earth. They were accelerated in our direction by yesterday’s powerful X-class solar flare (described below). This is called a “solar proton storm,” and currently it is category S3. Shortwave radios inside the Arctic Circle aren’t working right now due to this storm, which is causing a polar cap absorption event. Currently, there is no danger to air travelers.

A CME is coming, and it is expected to hit Earth during the late hours of Jan. 2nd. According to NOAA forecast models, the impact will spark a G2-class geomagnetic storm on Jan 2-3.
