Sol (Sun) and its phenomena

The other round of electromagnetic perturbations cashed by the Earth on the 8. This is at ground level, GOES is at space level (satellite measurement):

personally I wouldnt label it angry !!

A BIG ANGRY SUNSPOT IS FACING EARTH: This weekend, active sunspot 4274 is directly facing Earth. With an unstable delta-class magnetic field, it poses a threat for powerful X-class solar flares. If such a flare does occur today, it will certainly be geoeffective.


COMET 3I/ATLAS HAS SPROUTED AN UNUSUAL TAIL: After passing behind the sun in late October, interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS is now visible from Earth again. Astronomers are photographing it in the pre-dawn sky (constellation Virgo).


Michael Jaeger of Austria has been tracking the comet since it re-appeared on Nov. 4th. "We have something unusual to report," he says. "3I/ATLAS showed a complex tail structure early this morning (Nov. 8th)."

Just a little hint

When you refer to spaceweather.com - do not use the main link to the site - because the content always changes / gets updated with whatever is most actual.

So, if you wish to refer to a specific article or event - click on their time machine (upper right corner) with the appropriate date. Then copy the link. That way you preserve the content of a certain date, to everyone who later wishes to read about it - also will access that very article.

Another X-Flare!

A long duration X-Flare (X1.21) was observed around AR 4274 peaking at 09:18 UTC (Nov 10). In fact the solar X-Rays were at the X-Class threshold for over a half an hour. A type II radio emission with an estimated velocity of 1321 km/s was recorded. Coronal dimming is evident with this latest event meaning a CME will be produced. A further update will be provided regarding a possible Earth directed component.

ALERT: Type II Radio Emission
Begin Time: 2025 Nov 10 0911 UTC
Estimated Velocity: 1321 km/s

Another X-Flare!

From the Russian institute telegram's channel:

The mass ejection from the new flare will catch up with and absorb the plasma cloud ejected yesterday

The speed of the new plasma ejection, measured near the Sun, appears to be at least 1200 km/s, which is almost twice the speed of yesterday's event at 720 km/s. This means that the gas cloud ejected today will catch up with the plasma ejection from yesterday's X1.79 flare currently spreading through space and they will arrive at Earth together — preliminarily, still at the junction of November 11 and 12, that is, possibly tomorrow evening.

The presence of a frontal plasma ejection has been confirmed visually at this time. Due to its high speed, the gas cloud has moved more than 10 million km away from the Sun in 3 hours and is clearly visible in images from coronagraphs observing the near-solar space. However, there was no doubt about the presence of an ejection toward Earth, and the main interest was precisely its speed, which has now been measured.

At the moment, strictly speaking, despite the very strong flares in recent days, there have been no extreme consequences for Earth so far. Very strong (record-breaking for the year) magnetic storms were expected on November 7, but then the solar hits only grazed Earth. The magnetic storms of G2-G3 level that actually occurred then can be considered a stroke of luck. Yesterday's ejection was also unimpressive, ultimately slow, and moreover, noticeably moved upward above the plane of the planets. In this sense, Earth now has to test its luck for the third time in a row over the next two to three days. Perhaps it will succeed. However, we still need to see what the mathematical models will say in a few hours.

This latest flare also sent the proton flux above warning threshold:
