Heads up! EPAM is (finally) rising again. A CME is approaching L1.

Geomagnetic Storm Watch (G3) for Jun 04-05 UTC-day in effect.

[Dr. Tamitha Skov @TamithaSkov]

Our Sun wakes up! In the last 6 hours, our Sun launched 3 gorgeous solar storms. Two are off the east limb, but Region 4455 is right in the middle of the Earth-strike zone and is firing one straight at us now! This one is launched on the heels of an M3.3-flare, so its got a little kick. Waiting for more data to come in, but this could finally give aurora photographers at mid-latitudes something to celebrate! Early estimates show arrival possible by late June 4 or early June 5. Stay tuned!

The Pope just quoted Gandalf: “It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.”

Holy moly look at the farside of the Sun right now! Perhaps one of the largest sunspot clusters of the solar cycle is now visibile, and according to Solar Orbiter STIX data, it is also producing flares.

Even with the low-resolution data, the magnetic complexity of this region is evident. If it survives another ~10 days, we should see it emerge on the eastern limb as an X-flare player.

@JAtanackov Solar Orbiter saw an X16 flare on the 20th of May 2024 on the back side of the Sun.

From the archives this day May 07, 2016

Various locations in Kananaskis

One of the best shows of Solar Cycle 24 was the Mother's Day storm of 2016, there were multiple corona's throughout the night and into the morning. This was my first big storm that I caught and remained so until the year 2023.....

As a side note this storm was caused by small negative polarity equatorial CH, see comments. I figure that the Russell McPherron effect was the culprit behind this storm mind you a solar wind speed of 650 km/s and a Bz of -15 didn't hurt.

Imagine, if all the money, time and effort that goes into weapons and wars went into space exploration. Some day astronauts will be sending such photos of Mars, the Galilean moons, Titan, Triton ...

Thank you @NASA, thank you @NASAArtemis.

@J_master_caster That M4.4 had a spitball CME though....

[Black Hole @konstructivizm]

The scale of the shockwave from that solar flare is honestly hard to wrap your head around.

@Xyzcbxxyz @theauroraguy Bz is still positive though

[Clementina Sasso @ClementinaSasso]

@theauroraguy @Xyzcbxxyz Significant interplanetary shock detected by ACE and DSCOVR at L1 at 2025-11-12T18:52Z.

NASA M2M notification

[SolarSteph 🌞 @slyardley]

CME arrival!🎯 Real-time solar wind data from ACE at L1 showing the first CME from AR4274 is arriving.⚡
This is the start of a long geomagnetic storming period - aurora chasers, get ready! 👀🌌
