Latest Space Weather News Space Weather Update January 9, 2024 @ 11:00 UTC Good morning. Here is a quick look at all of the current sunspot regions facing Earth, all of which happen to be located on the western side of the visible disk. Solar activity has been mostly at low levels with the exception of a single M1 flare around AR 3947 at 00:26 UTC (Jan 9). This region will remain a threat for M-Flares during the next 24 hours. Elsewhere, new regions 3953 and 3954 were both assigned but remain quiet for now. Image by SDO/HMI. The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) has been trending south for the past two hours. Unsettled to Active (Kp4) conditions will be possible in the hours ahead should this continue. SDO is Back January 8, 2024 @ 00:50 UTC Full disk imagery courtesy of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) using the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument now appears to be updating once again. Great news! Southwest Limb Eruption January 8, 2024 @ 00:50 UTC A beautiful eruption of plasma off the southwest limb this evening beginning around 22:30 UTC (Jan 7). The event measured as a long duration M1 flare and flung a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space that appears to be directed away from our planet. Click HERE for a cool video. Space Weather Update January 7, 2024 @ 15:40 UTC A quiet day on the Sun as far as solar flares go with only occasional minor C-Flares detected. AR 3947 appears to be thinning out somewhat and some separation between the main leader spot and trailing spots was observed. Regardless, isolated moderate M-Flares will remain a possibility during the next 24 hours. All other regions have been for the most part stable. A coronal mass ejection (CME) is visible in the latest imagery by LASCO and appears to be heading to the north and away from our planet.
