Here comes the sun! The region just behind the southeast limb is starting to show itself via loops high in the corona. What will it bring?š§š¤āšš For more on Sun activity see bit.ly/sunactivity

- AR3190 is not going out quietly! An M4.7 flare and eruption at 9:37 UTC this morning. The eruption is not Earth-directed. ššš¤©š§We will see if there is more to comeāš¤ For more on Sun activity see bit.ly/sunactivity
00:00 - Another look at this great prominence eruption! ššš¤©š§ If you look just north, to the left you can see an eruption/wave that launched another small CME. They should be here in a couple days with a possible glancing blowāš¤ For more on Sun activity see bit.ly/sunactivity
00:00 - šEverybody is talking about the polar crown filament! Excitement on the Sun. A solar polar vortex of plasma action!āš§š¤Wow!š¤©š For more on Sun activity see bit.ly/sunactivity
00:00 - Watching Comet 96P/Machholz pass perihelion on its journey around the Sun. And a nice CME from a filament eruption to add to the show. š§š¤āšš For more on Sun activity see bit.ly/sunactivity
00:00 - A fantastic filament eruption from the north pole earlier todayššCaptured with the SUVI 304 angstrom and the SDO 171 angstrom channels. Quite a show but nothing to worry about as it is not heading our way. Enjoy! Find out more about solar activity at bit.ly/sunactivity š¤
00:00 - šš¤©š±It's coming! Holy Moly! An X1.8 flare from AR3848, then a blast of sun stuff (a CME), and they created a shock driving particles (snow on images) to near the speed of light. The source was near the Earth-facing solar disk's center. So this stuff is headed our wayāand it's
00:00 - And that's a flare! Another one from the new region just over the NE limb (edge). An M2.4 with a double peak. It caused a radio blackout in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America. It looks like a promising region. šš¤©šāš¤ More on today's Sun: bit.ly/sunactivity
00:00 - Holy Mackerel!! š¤©š¤ÆThis was a huge and fast event from the other side of the Sun. šAn extremely fast and rare CME, 3000 km/s, 6.7 Mega mph. As fast if not faster than the fastest CME like the famous Carrington Event.Could be the big one for the cycle but we have to wait! š§š
00:00 - The new region on the northeast limb is almost in view, but it is not waiting to get busy. Lots of flare activity and jets. Pretty exciting, will it live up to expectations when it is numbered on the disk? For more on Sun activity see bit.ly/sunactivity šššš¤©š§
00:00 - The annular eclipse of October 14, 2023 from space! The GOES-16 spacecraftāthat space-age extension of our human ability to see our starāexperienced the October 14, 2023 annular solar eclipse from its perspective in space. More: bit.ly/sunactivity
00:00 - Spectacular prominence eruption! ššš¤©š§ WOW! That was cool, and it produced a beautiful, bright CME. It will probably not hit Earth, but maybe a glancing blow. The sun never ceases to surprise. What's nextāš¤ For more on Sun activity see bit.ly/sunactivity
00:00 - Kablam!! An X9 flare! The largest of this solar cycle and the 15th largest since June 1996. WOW! š„š„š„š š¤© š± More details coming soon! Four of the wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light observed by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).
- The Sun has been relatively quiet. No big flaring, but prominences are dancing on the northwest limb (edge). š§š¤āšš For more on Sun activity see bit.ly/sunactivity
