March 23, 2024 @ 01:40 UTC (UPDATED) Two sunspot regions (AR 3614 and 3615) just produced solar flares at nearly the same time. The collective X1.1 X-Ray event peaked at 01:33 UTC (Mar 23). The event around AR 3614 appears to be the brighter of the two and coronal dimming originating from 3614 is clearly evident meaning a coronal mass ejection (CME) will be likely. More to follow regarding this major space weather event.  Halo CME: What looks to be a halo coronal mass ejection (CME) is now visible in updated imagery courtesy of the STEREO Ahead spacecraft. Updated imagery courtesy of LASCO is still required, however it seems certain that an Earth directed component will be likely from this event. The expanding plasma cloud may not be a fast mover, so a passage past Earth could be possible within 3 days (72 hours). More details to follow once additional imagery and a tracking model is available.  ALERT: Type II Radio Emission Begin Time: 2024 Mar 23 0109 UTC Estimated Velocity: 791 km/s |

Hi Sherry, it's nice to have your input! Thank you for the CACtus image...I was trying to get that website to come up for me last night and it was not happening. |

Hi Sherry! Solar wind at this time is revving: via spaceweather.com Solar wind speed: 842.4 km/sec density: 2.29 protons/cm3 more data: ACE, DSCOVR Updated: Today at 0745 UT Here is a link to a near real time animation of the solar wind dynamics: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/geospace-magnetosphere-movies |
