News about solar flare

M9.7 solar flare was a parting shot from AR 3697 and briefly saw us touch S3 levels. High energy particle fluxes also rose quite a bit. Asymmetric halo CME observed in coronagraphs with a possible clip at Earth midday June 11 UTC. G2 watch issued by Met Office. Stay tuned! pic.twitter.com/e80YPdGmaN

Check out this article @spaceyliz and I and other talented aurora chasers were featured in, super cool! Let's hope we can get another memorable storm sometime this solar cycle. www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/missed-the-auroras-in-may-heres-how-to-see-them-next-time-180984480/

On the solar surface, the Sun’s magnetic field is about 20 Gauss, 2X stronger than Earth’s. In active regions where flares erupt it reaches 100 Gauss. Sunspots can be over 1000 Gauss! 🧲💪 But #DYK there are places on the Sun where there’s no magnetic field at all? ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/xQaUoPT0yb

An M6.1-class flare erupted earlier today, seen here in imagery from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. 🤩 This view shows light with a wavelength of 13.1 nanometers (color-coded in teal). It comes from material sizzling at about 18 million degrees Fahrenheit! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/GjFQxPKrBE
