A Whole Lot of Regions Appear & Storming All Week | Space Weather Spotlight 14 March 2025

This week, our Sun is sending us nearly continuous fast solar wind and it has been lighting up our skies with aurora. Some photographers have managed to capture aurora during the blood moon total lunar eclipse! The aurora shows have been intensified by several solar storm eruptions, at times bumping us to G2 storm

Solar activity has ramped up considerably over the last few days, including big solar flares, a radiation storm, and what looks like a promising Earth-directed solar storm and more to come. In particular, the Earth-directed solar storm could bring aurora just in time for the planetary alignment on February 28. Aurora photographers should be

Our Sun plays Cupid this week by ensuring we have some solar storming through this upcoming Valentines Day weekend. Even as we calm down from some fast solar wind, another pocket of fast wind is on its way to Earth. Sandwiched within the fast wind will be several stealthy solar storms and a narrow

A massive set of coronal holes will be sending us some fast solar wind over the next few days. These dark, ominous, features are about to become regular visitors as we continue our descent into the declining phase of the solar cycle. Even though this phase is just beginning, we could see some pretty

This week our Sun launches multiple big solar storms, most of which have given us some gorgeous eye candy. One of these eruptions launched a strong Earth-directed solar storm that hit Earth, but it was the wrong magnetic orientation to cause issues. We have also had several spectacular farsided eruptions, which hint that old

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Activity picks up this week in a big way with a lot of eye-candy on the Earth-facing Sun and on the farside too. Two Earth-directed solar storms could impact Earth this week bringing aurora down to mid-latitudes during the holiday festivities. Although the storming isnt expected to be very strong, we

This week our star kicks activity into high gear with some fast-growing active regions in Earth view. One of these taking center stage is Region 3883, which has fired multiple big flares and launched a very dense solar storm that looks to have an Earth-directed component. If this storm grazes Earth, as the models

Our Sun launched multiple Earth-directed solar storms towards Earth this week, with the first one hitting us just now (it is fashionably late). The second will likely hit late on September 12 and be followed by some fast solar wind. This means aurora photographers could be in for an extended show from about now

Although we are calming down from several solar storms that hit back to back over the past week and gave us some decent aurora, our Sun isn't calming down. We have four active regions that are about to rotate into Earth view that have been firing big flares and launching solar storms on the

This week our Sun stays active but has terrible aim. Earth has dodged at least four solar storms launched off the Earth-facing Sun. The only expected impact will be from some fast solar wind over the next couple of days, but that shouldn't cause too much trouble for radio amateurs participating in "Field Day"
