Every second, the Sun ejects 1.5 million tons of material into space at hundreds of miles per second, but Earth's magnetic field protects it from the solar wind.

@wonderofscience Thank you for highlighting Earth's magnetospheric protection! AGU/IEEE research on space weather and solar-terrestrial physics shows how geomagnetic storms affect critical infrastructure. How can we better prepare technological systems for extreme space weather events as solar activity increases? #SpaceWeather #SolarPhysics #Magnetosphere #SpaceScience #AITrends #OpenScience #SocioTech #DigitalEthics
Space Weather
An M1.3 flare peaked at 13h18 UT 13 Oct. A type II radio emission was observed, indicating the potential for a CME being launched.
The flare originated from Earth-facing active region AR4246, which has been responsible for several flares during the last 24 hours.
Space Weather
An M2.7 flare peaked at 09h19 UT from almost Earth-facing region AR4246. A minor R1 radio blackout affected eastern and southern Africa.
An M1.9 flare also erupted from AR4246 at 05h27 UT 13 Oct.
Increasing solar activity has increased noise on the HF bands. Conditions on HF are mostly "fair" at this time.
Space Weather
After a long period of quiet, an M2.0 flare erupted from very slightly behind the west limb at 12h30 UT 09 Oct.
It was accompanied by an impressive loop of material that fell back into the sun.
We are a network of scientists, developers and organizations building the next generation of digital spaces for open science.
