As many UMSF members have likely noticed the current Solar Cycle (25) is off with a bang! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle_2...progression.png. SOHO observations https://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/spaceweather/ coupled with daily comments in Space Weather https://spaceweather.com/ provide an excellent way to follow this activity.

A ‘sympathetic’ https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1086/340945/pdf, X1.12 class, solar flare was recorded today by Nasa’s Solar Dynamic Observatory. https://spaceweather.com/images2024/23mar24...eflare_teal.gif. Two sunspots AR3614 and AR3615 appear to be involved. The flare has produced a halo CME https://spaceweather.com/images2024/23mar24/halocme.gif which is Earth directed. A good description of the events appear here https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/news/vi...rected-cme.html as well as in today’s SpaceWeather page. https://spaceweather.com/. A moderate geomagnetic storm is predicted. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/geomagnetic-...4-25-march-2024.
