Another X-Flare

June 19, 2025 @ 23:55 UTC

"X-Flare Alert. Sunspot region 4114 just produced an X1.9 solar flare peaking at 23:50 UTC (Jun 19). Coronal dimming is not yet evident meaning a noteworthy #CME is unlikely. More to follow whenever necessary."

“The G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storm watch remains in effect for tonight, June 1st…There are indications that the coronal mass ejection (CME) passage is weakening, but the solar wind conditions remain elevated, therefore additional periods of G3-G4 (Strong-Severe) levels remain possible. However, we now anticipate that conditions should weaken enough by tomorrow evening, June 2nd (EDT), that G1 (Minor) storm levels is the most likely peak response."

Another #CME heading our way

SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: A #CME is heading straight for Earth. NASA and NOAA models agree that it will strike Earth on June 1st. The impact could spark a severe (G4-class) geomagnetic storm with #aurora visible across Europe and many US states, including Connecticut. This won't be as big as the famous May 2024 storm, but it could be one of the bigger events of Solar Cycle 25 if a severe storm materializes. Check spaceweather.com for the latest.

We'll know if the Starlink satellites are being knocked out of LEO by that CME in a few days when the Russian advance in Ukraine stops....

In a real-life situation, the primary impacts would lead to serious disruptions in many sectors, including aviation, emergency response and health care, as hospitals would have to rely on back-up power generators for days.

Heh, and here I thought band conditions were poor yesterday...

Protip: a coronal mass ejection is not only an event after you've consumed too many Mexican lagers.

An X1.1 flare erupted from a new active region on the east limb, peaking at 15h20 UT 28 Mar (not 15h35 UT as previously stated).

After 1.5 hours the XRay flux is still above M-level, but is falling. The flare appears to be a filament eruption.

An R3 radio blackout affected the Caribbean, Central America and northern S America.

10cm, type II and type IV radio emissions and a coronal mass ejection were observed.

This flare marks the end of couple of fairly quiet weeks on the sun!

A Carrington Level Event today would pretty much plunge the entire planet into full auto-destruct mode.

A Coronal Mass Ejection from the Sun is predicted to impact Earth within the next hour.

Sadly it is daylight and cloudy here but you Northern hemisphere folks may have better luck.

"G3 (Strong) Geomagnetic Storm Watch for 23 Mar" by NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center - The Sun erupted a coronal mass ejection (CME) expected to reach Earth on March 23 UTC at G3 storm level. That means forecasted Kp=7 for aurora down to Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts. https://www.spaceweather.gov/news/g3-strong-geomagnetic-storm-watch-23-mar #astronomy #aurora #AuroraBorealis #AuroraAustralis #CME #SpaceWeather

The nice thing about the expansion of diagnostic panels for respiratory pathogens is that even those who did not read the CDC EPIC study back in 2015 can now clearly appreciate the number of people who get to see the inside of a hospital/ICU from the sniffles "rhinovirus". #CME
