BIGGEST SOLAR FLARE OF SOLAR CYCLE 25 HITS BULLSEYE 🎯💥 Solar Storms Race Towards Earth!!
7.1 and 9.0 X-class solar flares have exploded off the Sun from the Earth bullseye zone back-to-back after a Mercury Cazimi and Annular Solar Eclipse, both launching coronal mass ejections towards Earth, with the first impact expected Oct 4-5th. Solar Activity Report presented by Geophysicist Stefan Burns.
X FLARES OH MY!! RARE CANNIBAL CME INBOUND THIS WEEKEND
MEDIA ADVISORY: NOAA Forecasts Severe Solar Storm; Media Availability Scheduled for Friday, May 10

MEDIA ADVISORY
NOAA forecasts severe solar storm; media availability scheduled for May 10
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) — a division of the National Weather Service — is monitoring the sun following a series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that began on May 8. Space weather forecasters have issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch for the evening of Friday, May 10. Additional solar eruptions could cause geomagnetic storm conditions to persist through the weekend.
A large sunspot cluster has produced several moderate to strong solar flares since Wednesday at 5:00 am ET. At least five flares were associated with CMEs that appear to be Earth-directed. SWPC forecasters will monitor NOAA and NASA’s space assets for the onset of a geomagnetic storm.
CMEs are explosions of plasma and magnetic fields from the sun’s corona. They cause geomagnetic storms when they are directed at Earth. Geomagnetic storms can impact infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and on Earth’s surface, potentially disrupting communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations. SWPC has notified the operators of these systems so they can take protective action. Geomagnetic storms can also trigger spectacular displays of aurora on Earth. A severe geomagnetic storm includes the potential for aurora to be seen as far south as Alabama and Northern California.
WHAT: Media availability via teleconference on the unfolding space weather event and Geomagnetic Storm Watch.

Earth dodged a REALLY big one here! *MILLIONS of MPH*
AN X-FLARE FROM 'THE DANGER ZONE': Sunspot AR3576 erupted today (0653 UT) producing a brief but intense X2.5-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) saw huge plumes of plasma fly away from the blast site

The Sun's Poles are About to Reverse. Should You Be Worried? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
The Sun's poles are about to reverse. The Sun has a north magnetic pole and a south magnetic pole, much like the Earth. But these poles reverse every 11 years. It is part of the solar cycle. So it not a major cause for worry. But what happens before the poles flip is worrying scientists. Palki Sharma tells you why.

Long Duration M6.8 Solar Flare + Energetic CME (1/29/2024)
A long duration solar flare measuring M6.8 was detected around AR 3559 peaking at 04:36 UTC (1/29/2024). First look imagery by STEREO Ahead confirms that an energetic CME is associated. Because the active region is approaching the west limb, the CME should be directed mostly away from Earth. A watch for a minor (S1) radiation storm is already in effect. More details regarding a possible Earth directed component later via SolarHam.com
M7.0 Earthquake hits China as Geomagnetic Storm Begins
Transcript:
Aloha everyone my name is Stefan welcome back to my channel. A lot to discuss today we just had a magnitude 7.0 earthquake strike the northwest of China and we also have had a big increase in solar activity after that Sun Pluto conjunction. So we will go into the solar activity first and then we will talk about this earthquake that just happened today in China FYI I'm now in Hawaii hence why I have the flowers and the laidback Vibe this is going to be what you're seeing for the next couple weeks, with that let's Dive Right In a lot of solar activity over the past few days here we have a coronal mass ejection launched right there that was on the 20th that is expected to trigger a geomagnetic storm starting today…
EARTH JUST GOT LUCKY | Super Eruption from the Sun
Folks I did not expect this morning's filament eruption to be as severe as it was and we are very lucky that the densest portion is going to miss the Earth, this is one of the densest and most potent CMEs of the solar cycle and it's luckily heading Southward in the solar system.

Japan: Tsunami hits after series of powerful earthquakes
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
X5 - Largest Solar Flare of Solar Cycle 25
CME Update: As expected, the X5.0 solar flare event generated a coronal mass ejection (CME). Coronagraph imagery shows that the vast majority of plasma is heading away from Earth. The western edge of the CME could still deliver a glancing blow to our geomagnetic field within 72 hours.
