@izzysmart WEAK IMPACT: A sharp gust of solar wind hit Earth’s magnetic field today, June 17th, at approximately 0230 UT. This probably signaled the arrival of a CME en route from the sun since June 14th. The impact did not spark a significant geomagnetic storm, so bright auroras tonight remain unlikely.
45 seconds into the video….. what are the little wing things on the bottom portion of the sun ?!?!!? I am new at all this stuff and have no idea what they are…..
Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly quiet levels through day one (16 June) and the majority of day two (17 June). Late on day two, and through day three (18 June), quiet to isolated active conditions are possible due to glancing blow effects from the CME observed early on 14 June.
@GTIboost5a It depends on Earth’s magnetic field and the speed and density of the CME, or even a solar wind stream flowing from a coronal hole, like the one approaching. No doubt we are in for a ride. These moderate storms can be strong, like the M2 event on the 7th. although it missed Earth.
Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at low levels with a slight chance for an M-class event all three days of the forecast period (15 – 17 June).
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels for day one (15 June), with a chance for active levels due to continued high speed stream effects. Activity is expected to decrease to mostly quiet levels on days two and three (16 – 17 June) as high speed stream effects subside.

its hitting now. Protons levels increased

Please and Thank you

The sun has been calm lately during April and May….calm before the storm
Nice work, thanx : )

@Skyywatcher88 Can moderate take our grid down?
minamal
Thank you Skyywatcher88., For the up date. Nice job. Peace,,,,
@Turkiloo Moderate…
Is this considered a big eruption?
Thanks for the heads up!
Wow! That was interesting! Thank you for taking the time.
Nice music, whats it called?
