Here she blows! Sunspot region 4274 produced its strongest solar flare thus far since it appeared on the east limb and the sixth strongest solar flare of the current solar cycle. An impressive long duration and highly eruptive X5.1 (R3-strong) solar flare peaked this morning at 10:04 UTC.
Aurora Alert! Aurora Alert!

The end of Solar Cycle 25 and the solar activity changes we can expect to see!
Thank you to SOHO and GOES18 for the added gifs and mpegs of the sun.

Geomagnetic Storm May Bring Northern Lights to 15 U.S. States Tonight
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G2 (moderate) geomagnetic storm watch for October 16, 2025, due to multiple coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Sun between October 11 and 13. These CMEs, triggered by solar flares from the active sunspot region AR4246, are expected to reach Ear... [More info]

A new NASA study suggests that solar activity will remain high or rise further in the coming decades, contradicting previous assumptions that the sun was quieting down — and scientists "don't completely understand" why.
By Harry Baker, published September 17, 2025
"NASA scientists are warning that the sun may be "waking up" from a brief period of relative inactivity, contradicting past assumptions about our home star. If true, this could mean that decades of potentially dangerous space weather are in store.
[...]
"In a new study, published Sept. 8 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, researchers analyzed multiple metrics of solar activity, including solar wind, magnetic field strength and sunspot numbers, and found that they have been on an upward trend since around 2008, and could rise further over future cycles, suggesting that the deep solar minimum theory is well and truly dead.

"During the current maximum, Earth has also been hit by several major geomagnetic storms, or disturbances to the planet's magnetic field. The most noteworthy was an 'extreme' event in May 2024, which triggered some of the most vibrant aurora displays in centuries and caused over $500 million in damages."

Scientists Identify Distinct Patterns in Solar Particles from Solar Flares and CMEs
The Sun, often viewed from Earth as peaceful, is actually a dynamic and volatile source of energetic particles. Researchers studying solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have found that these events eject particles with distinct features, indicating different origins and behaviors. The stu...

New research shows solar flares reach higher temperatures than earlier estimates
Recent studies on solar flares indicate that these powerful bursts of energy from the Sun are significantly hotter than scientists had previously estimated. Solar flares are sudden eruptions of electromagnetic radiation and charged particles from the Sun's surface, capable of affecting satellites, c... [More info]
