Kees de Jager 100!

EUI 174, not filtered and filtered - EUI 304, not filtered and filtered

Kees, we wish you a Happy Birthday at the speed of light, 100 % supported by Solar Orbiter and EUI. You witnessed 9 solar cycles, passing smoothly to your 10th.

We loved your participation in 'De Kennis van nu' and your enthusiasm and support for Solar Orbiter. 

M1 flare!

NOAA 2816 produced an M1 flare on 19 April. The associated CME was not earth-directed. This is only the 3rd M-class event of the new solar cycle.

A substantial coronal mass ejection (CME) observed on 17 April had no earth-directed component, its source being on the farside of the Sun. The overall number of detected CMEs has been gradually increasing since December 2019.
