Double Prominence Eruption
| |
October 23, 2023 @ 01:00 UTC (UPDATED)
|
|
Even when solar activity is classified at very low levels, it does not mean that the Sun is totally quiet. Two prominence eruptions were observed beginning at 21:00 UTC (Oct 22). The first event lifted off the northeast limb and was followed up by another eruption, this time off the southern limb beginning at 23:15 UTC. In both cases, any associated coronal mass ejection (CME) should be directed away from Earth. Still an awesome solar event!
UPDATE: Two nice coronal mass ejections were observed following a pair of prominence eruptions. Because both occurred off the the north and south limbs respectively, they appear to be headed away from Earth. Image by LASCO C2.

Bz South / Minor (G1) Geomagnetic Storm
| |
October 21, 2023 @ 10:40 UTC
|
|
The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field carried past Earth via the solar wind has been tipped south since Friday at 17:40 UTC (Oct 20). Because of this condition, minor (G1) geomagnetic storming has been observed at higher latitudes. Enhanced activity could continue today should the Bz remain in a southward orientation.
WARNING: Geomagnetic K-index of 5
Begin Time: 2023 Oct 21 0804 UTC
Synoptic Period: 0600-0900 UTC
NOAA Scale: G1 - Minor
