M 1.9! Boy that was a quick reversal.

Doom back on!

New Report Post:
Finally some solar activity! M 1.9 Solar flare around Region 1675

Solarsoft close-up movie of M1.9 flare (the x-ray level bounced from C2.4, then down, then up to C5.8, paused, then shot up to M1.9):

M1.9 Flare from AR1675-
:M1.9flare:

AS I noted yesterday, this region has very complex magnetic fields which have strengthened considerably in the past 24-hrs. You can see the quick growth of the umbrae by contrasting yesterdays pic w/ today's.

Great job on the blog-post, NINz! If this region continues growing we may see a lot more action this week. Things are picking up spot-wise in the southern hemisphere, too.

Finally some action ! Hope you guys don't get pinned and screw it up.

4-minute radio burst from M-flare-

Space Weather Message Code: SUM10R
Serial Number: 572
Issue Time: 2013 Feb 17 1601 UTC

SUMMARY: 10cm Radio Burst
Begin Time: 2013 Feb 17 1547 UTC
Maximum Time: 2013 Feb 17 1547 UTC
End Time: 2013 Feb 17 1551 UTC
Duration: 4 minutes
Peak Flux: 340 sfu
Latest Penticton Noon Flux: 103 sfu
Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications

Nice

Solarsoft says "1% odds of an M-flare just went up!"

AR1675 is responsible for 9 out of the last 10 recorded flares.

Indeed!

We are all such solar nerds!!! A little M-flare makes us happy!!

another x-ray spike

Nothing of significance - just a little tick upwards and then back down.

good day, luis! i'm thinking it's only gonna get better from here

Hi my friend! yes i agree with you! At least we have that hope!

That looks wicked.

we're gonna have a good show when that filament in the SE snaps off

thanks! :)
but i cant take credit
IWTB76 put that one together :)

Here's giant southern crown filament lifting off much earlier today....here's the CME movie from SEEDS:

....and the liftoff-with rave music soundtrack, haha.

Happy Bunnies : )

Check out the Aurora [link to helios.swpc.noaa.gov] [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] I don't see -Bz or absorption on DRap...Could somebody fill me in?
