Sunspot region 3664 really putting the “active” into active region.. Look at all those halo CMEs popping off! And another released this morning 👀
(Hopefully this actually posts as a video this time)

AR 13668 continues to produce eruptive flares. This X2.2 flare on May 9 was associated with another halo CME, likely Earth-directed. The messy geo-space environment starting May 10 or 11 and lasting a few days will be explained by @AusSpaceAgency, @TamithaSkov and other experts.

Sun, we need to talk about your flare. 🌞
The Sun emitted a significant solar flare on March 30, peaking at 1:35 p.m. ET (17:35 UTC). Our orbiting @NASASun Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the action: go.nasa.gov/3uJMtAS

The filament eruption seen in SUVI 304 Å images as reported by @erikapal occurred ~35° behind the east limb (per STEREO-A). This turned out to be a huge CME! This animation combines running difference images from LASCO C2 and C3, which cover 6 Rs and 30 Rs, respectively.

Can't say this was the greatest Valentine's Day gift being that it was barely a M1 and on the west limb, but when it comes to the Sun, I guess it's the thought that counts! 💥🧡

410 years ago today of the first available sunspot record made by Galileo... although he pointed out that he had already observed sunspots in 1610 (but no record is available). As you can see in the image, three sunspot groups were represented by Galileo by three simple dots +

Europe’s upcoming space weather mission has a new name! What was once called Lagrange is now named Vigil. The spacecraft will keep a watchful eye on the Sun to protect us from its hazardous emissions.
#Vigil: the first mission of its kind, set to monitor our active and unpredictable Sun and help protect us from its violent outbursts, and it also has a mission patch! 😎Follow on @esaoperations, see more here 👉 esa.int/Safety_Security/Spac… #ESAVigil

The recent eruption reported by @CocoasCola and @erikapal (thanks!) was a big one with a global coronal wave as shown in this animation. There will be no effect on Earth since the source region was ~30° behind the limb (per STEREO). Observed flare class: B8.7, Actual: likely >X1

At #ESWW2021, this morning, BEIS Deputy Director, Mark Prouse gave an overview of the UK Severe Space Weather Preparedness Strategy.
The strategy sets out a 5-year vision to enhance resilience to space weather, with the Met Office at the heart of this.

Almost M-class (C8.8) flare from AR 12866. I will pass this one as it shows no CME signatures. But let's monitor the region for another 4-5 days to catch #solarstorms that can be more Earth-affecting.
