An exit in style

NOAA 2891 produced a photogenic solar eruption late on 9 November, while it was already well behind the northwest solar limb.The event was accompanied by an interesting feature, the so-called Supra Arcade Downflows (SADs).

The Day After...

The arrival and subsequent passage of a potent ICME late on 3 November left its mark on the evolution of energetic particles in the magnetosphere. Also the number of cosmic rays dipped sharply, but briefly.

We proudly present K_Bel: a new, local K-index to monitor the variations in the Earth magnetic field. It is based on data from two independent magnetometers located in the magnetic observatories of Belgium: Dourbes and Manhay. 


 

Topical Issue on "Radiation impact during space missions" for JSWSC

JSWSC has opened a new Topical Issue "Advances in space weather forecasting and in the assessment of radiation impact during space missions".

Topical Issue on "Ionospheric interactions" for JSWSC

JSWSC has opened a new Topical Issue "Tackling ionospheric interactions and their impact on radio systems at the dawn of Solar Cycle 25".

X-class flare!

Flare-active sunspot region NOAA 2887 produced an X1 flare on 28 October at 15:35UT. The associated CME is mainly directed to the south, but an earth-directed component is visible in the latest coronagraphic images. UPDATED2!

Tracking SC25

A new STCE webpage aims to track the evolution of a number of important space weather parameters during the current solar cycle 25.

Ode to GOES

16 October 1975 marks the launch of GOES-1, the first of the GOES family. 46 years later, the new generation is still going strong.

From sunspot to geomagnetic storm

The fairly quiet sunspot group NOAA 2882 produced an M-class flare on 9 October. The associated CME was directed to Earth and resulted in a minor geomagnetic storm on 12 October.

The largest solar flare

A powerful X285 solar flare might have taken place in 774-775AD, explaining a curious anomaly of cosmogenic nuclides in tree rings and ice cores.
