STRONG SOLAR ACTIVITY RESUMES: The quiet has broken. Today sunspot 3936 produced a strong X1-class solar flare (0717 UT) along with a series of M-class flares peaking at M7 (1509 UT). As a result of these explosions, at least one CME is heading for Earth, and a NASA model shows it reaching Earth late on Dec. 31st. Stay tuned for an updated forecast. CME impact alerts: SMS Text SUNGRAZING COMET ATLAS: Some writers are calling it "the brightest comet of 2025." Maybe. If Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) survives its brush with the sun next month, it could become very bright indeed. At the moment, it is barely visible in the morning sky of the southern hemisphere. Nick James of the British Astronomical Association photographed the comet on Dec. 28th using a remote-controled telescope in Chile: https://spaceweather.com |
