Major far side eruption, S1 radiation storm
donderdag 21 november 2024 20:44 UTC
The minor S1 solar radiation storm threshold was reached this evening. This is unfortunately not the result of a front side eruption but a major far side eruption behind the west limb. The Sun's magnetic field or Parker Spiral which wraps around the solar system carries the protons from the far side all the way to the Earth and beyond.
The coronal mass ejection can clearly be seen on SOHO/LASCO coronagraph imagery is impressive but not aimed at Earth of course. HF radio communication at high latitudes might experience problems. All the remaining sunspot regions on the earth-facing disk are fairly unremarkable and there is little to no chance of M or X-class activity in the days ahead.
