Solar activity refers to the state of the sun’s magnetic field and associated phenomena: sunspots, flares, solar wind and coronal ejections. During periods of minimal solar activity, such events are often uncommon and weak. During solar maximum,...
(The Watchers) A long-duration C5.6 solar flare erupted from Active Region 3060 at 01:11 UTC on July 21, 2022, producing a faint full halo coronal mass ejection (CME). A Type II Radio Emission with an estimated...
We are witnessing substantial signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars so in this first segment of this series, we will explore the extraordinary changes the sun is demonstrating and what this means for the...
A STREAM of radiation from the biggest solar flare seen in years was responsible for a tech blackout this weekend, astronomers have announced. The "significant" solar flare was detected on the Sun on July 3 and...
