Solar Activity Watch 2014-2023

Here we go, a master thread for Solar Activity for the year 2014.
Thanks to all who kept the past threads up-to-date.

With all of the recent solar activity taking place, the sun approaching solar maximum, and how many threads keep popping up on each event, I thought it would be prudent to have a single thread, especially for all of the avid sun watcher!

It looks like 2013 could be a peak year for solar actiivty:

S0 News January 7, 2014: Polar Vortex SPLITS, Solar Flare Uptick

The sun is shining today.

One of the biggest sunspots in years triggered x-class flare. It created Earth-directed CME, which should be arriving in few days. Expect geomagnetic storms, which means spectacular aurora.

Here is the video

The CME has arrived as predicted, but it seems weaker than expected. It could intensify as Earth travels in its wake. G3 (Out of 5) geomagnetic event is expected.

Power systems: voltage corrections may be required, false alarms triggered on some protection devices.

Spacecraft operations: surface charging may occur on satellite components, drag may increase on low-Earth-orbit satellites, and corrections may be needed for orientation problems.

Other systems: intermittent satellite navigation and low-frequency radio navigation problems may occur, HF radio may be intermittent, and aurora has been seen as low as Illinois and Oregon (typically 50° geomagnetic lat.)**.

spaceweather.com...

Just a question what level of geomagnetic storm cause large-scale long term blackouts?

MSM says 2013 was a LOW in solar activity...
And now they say "scientists" claim it could
become a "mini" ice age...

any activity today ?????

my satellite t.v keeps playing up and now we have lost power twice for aprox 30 seconds then it comes back on.

Same here in Ireland too....

Sat TV for past few days is tripping out even though 'hardware' was recently checked and upgraded by SKY..

Weather is very wet and windy although doesn't always match intermittent tv .... Is something else affecting it...?

It's become 'noticeable'

ah...my fellow weimeraner lover. its been happening all day today. never had trouble before. very hot here with a temp of near 40 so its not wind or rain. strange day but with that and the power coming in and out and the dog acting very strange indeed.

Ok, let's use it, but if you want it to be ultimate solar thread you should be able to make it stay on the main site. Maybe a new SOLAR forum would be appropriate.

Today a piece of X4.9-class solar flare is going to impact. Not a full dose but still "Danger Close". Doe's anybody else feeling a mood change, rage and headaches? I'm asking because I am as usually. I didn't check spaceweather because of your thread but I have found it because of this inner radar.
Let me suggest you a shot of Verbena officinalis. It's very good when psychogenic tension, migrainous, vasoconstrictive or hypertensive headaches come to you. And more of course. (against psychic vampires too )

Thanks for this. Much needed imho.

Take a look on en.wikipedia for 'The Carrington Report 19210'

It is not there, perhaps you could supply a link?

Nothing major, but it looks as if there was just a x-class solar flare.

The SWPC site reports it as X2.2.

This rather sickly solar maximum is still sputtering along...

Here is a pic from SDO:

And now a 2nd X flare

06/10/2014 @ 10:30 UTC
A strong solar flare measuring X1.5 observed around region 2087 at 12:52 UTC. This is now the second such event in just over an hour. More to follow.

Newly numbered sunspot 2087 is causing a ruckus, eh?

Here is the video of the 1st flare. X2.2:

Thank you both. S& ....Any idea if we're getting a geomagnetic storm from this?

I was going to make a thread, but this is the best place to put this...

Three X-class flares in 24 hours


SolarHam.net

Region 2087 produced an impulsive X1.0 solar flare Wednesday morning at 09:06 UTC. This is now the 3rd such X-Class event within the past 24 hours. A relatively faint coronal mass ejection (CME) is seen in the latest LASCO C2 coronagraph imagery. The plasma cloud appears to be blended in with an earlier CME following an M3.0 flare around the same region an hour earlier. The active region will continue to be a threat for major solar flares as it continues to rotate into a more geoeffective position. More to follow.

Seems as though the sun is quite active as of lately. The second X-class flare yesterday emitted a coronal mass ejection but is expected to pass east of our planet. At worst we would get a glancing blow, but it would be minimal.

Just wanted to give you guys an update!

How safe will air travel be on this Fathers day? Will we have any affects from these past x class flares?

Thank you, will check back in am for reply.
