NASA’s twin STEREO spacecraft, which can see the far side of the Sun and make 3D images of incoming coronal mass ejections, have made my job of forecasting solar activity for GB2RS much easier. Later this year, the twin probes will pass directly behind the Sun and will have to be turned off. Operations could […]

By the 24th only three sunspot regions were visible and these were only producing the occasional C-class solar flares most day. In fact, on the 22nd and the 25th solar activity declined to very low levels when no C class solar flares took place. In total 10 C class solar flares took place during the […]

Solar activity started at moderate levels when a single M class solar flare took place on the first four days of the period, however, from then the active sunspot regions rotated out of view. From the 17th, solar activity was low. In total 52 C class solar flares took place. Solar flux levels declined from […]

Several large sunspot regions appeared and some were complex enough to produce large solar flares. Solar activity started the period at moderate levels on the 6th when a M1 class solar flare occurred. Later, on the 10th and the 11th activity increased to high when a single X class solar flare took place on both […]

Several small sunspot groups were visible every day but none were really very active, in fact, solar activity was very low on the 30th, the 2nd and again on the 5th. However, on the 3rd an M class solar flare occurred. In total only six C class solar flares took place. Solar flux levels struggled […]

Solar activity was low every day except for the 24th when the only M class solar flare took place, increasing activity to moderate levels. Only 24 C class solar flares occurred during the period. Solar flux levels declined from 118 units on the 24th to 99 by the 28th, which is the lowest level since […]
