GNSS (a bit) in trouble

A transient in the solar wind impacted the earth environment on 7 November. Though it resulted only in a brief minor geomagnetic storm, its effects were clearly felt in some GNSS technologies, especially over Canada and Scandinavia.

Solar snake spotted slithering across Sun's surface

Solar Orbiter has spotted a ‘tube’ of cooler atmospheric gases snaking its way through the Sun’s magnetic field. The observation provides an intriguing new addition to the zoo of features revealed by the ESA-led Solar Orbiter mission, especially since the snake was a precursor to a much larger eruption.

Intimidating sunspot groups

Two relatively large sunspot groups produced a number of M-class flares, the largest of which was an M5.2 early on 7 November.

Farmers and space weather

A small but important sector that is also affected by disturbed space weather is farming and agriculture.

Close-up of the Sun

The ESA-led Solar Orbiter mission has experienced its second close encounter with the Sun. It is delivering more stunning data, and at higher resolution than ever before!

Gamma Ray Burst!

A strong gamma ray burst affected the Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio communications on 9 October.

Fun with the Sun!

On 25 October, a partial solar eclipse will be visible from most of Europe, northeast Africa, the Middle East and the western portion of Asia. The eclipse can be followed live at the ROB/USET and PROBA2 websites, which provide also additional explanations.
