There has been a little bit of a hype on social media about a possible earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME) coming our way. The plasma cloud isn’t a myth and comes from a strange eruption late on 5 March but it was hardly noticeable on SDO. Powered by WPeMaticoRead More →

Just a mere week after we introduced the Italian version of SpaceWeatherLive we are super proud to announce our tenth language! After English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Polish, Italian, Russian and Swedish we are very happy to be able to introduce to you SpaceWeatherLive in the Estonian language!

It has been hardly one and a half month since we added the Russian language to SpaceWeatherLive but we are super proud that we once again are able to present SpaceWeatherLive to you in a new language! Our website is now available in Italiano! Yes, in Italian! This is the 9th language already that we can offer to our visitors. The other eight languages that we have for you are English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Polish, Russian and Swedish! Powered by WPeMaticoRead More →

Sunspot region 2699 has been transiting the earth-facing solar disk the past few days but was relatively quiet. However, today just past midnight, this sunspot region started to erupt with a long duration C-class solar flare. The solar flare started at 00:15 UTC and peaked at 01:35 UTC with a maximum measured X-ray flux of C1.5. Not a mighty impressive value but the long duration gave away that this event might have been eruptive… Powered by WPeMaticoRead More →

SpaceWeatherLive is proud to present a brand new version of the website! For the last few months we’ve been very hard at work behind the scenes rewriting (literally) all of the pages to improve the whole website in many ways. Together with all the improvements in speed, code and a bunch of other stuff we also introduced a modernised look and feel for the whole site. Powered by WPeMaticoRead More →

The other seven languages that we have for you are English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Polish and Swedish! Powered by WPeMaticoRead More →

We are currently under the influence of a coronal hole solar wind stream. The solar wind speed has picked up to 550km/s but there hasn’t really been much of a geomagnetic response as the solar wind density and interplanetary magnetic field values have been rather mediocre.

A southern extension of the northern hemisphere polar coronal hole is facing our planet today. It is the same coronal hole that caused minor G1 geomagnetic storm conditions for four days last month. Powered by WPeMaticoRead More →

Yesterday’s X8.2 (R3-strong) solar flare from sunspot region 2673 was one of the most spectacular solar flares we have ever seen. Not only was this the second strongest solar flare of the current solar cycle, it also launched an extremely fast and broad coronal mass ejection. What a way to say goodbye! Let’s hope it survives its 2 week journey on the far side of the Sun! Powered by WPeMaticoRead More →

Sunspot region 2673 departs in style! The region is now behind the western limb but it still managed to produce it’s fourth X-class solar flare: it erupted with an X8.28 (R3-strong) solar flare that peaked at 16:06 UTC. Powered by WPeMaticoRead More →
