Near X-Flare
June 23, 2024 @ 14:50 UTC
"Is our old pal #AR3664 (3697 and now 3723) still active?"Of course it is. A near #XFlare (M9.3) was detected at 13:01 UTC (Jun 23). The flare itself was fairly rapid, so a coronal mass ejection (CME) is likely not associated. We will get a better at the returning flare champion over the next few days.
"Now back for the third time, AR 3664 (3697) is returning into view from off the farside of the Sun. This region was first assigned 3664 on May 1st and would go on to produce non stop X-Flares and the resulting eruptions were responsible for the extreme #geomagnetic storm on May 10-11. It would reappear again on May 28th and was reassigned AR 3697 and would produce additional major solar flares. What will it have in store for us this time around? Stay tuned to find out."

No #GeomagneticStorm predicted yet. But with former #AR3664 (now #AR3697) belching out big flares, we might be in for another #Aurora treat soon...

#XFlares Are Piling Up
June 1, 2024 @ 10:20 UTC"Good morning. How about another X-Flare!
"The latest event measuring X1.4 was just detected around AR 3697 (3664) at 08:48 UTC (Jun 1). Much like the X-Flare yesterday evening, a CME does not appear to be associated with this event. Some dimming was observed to the north of 3697 before this event, but coronagraph imagery does not seem to reveal any plasma leaving the Sun. The flare producing machine is now in a good location for potential Earth directed eruptions.
"And with this now being the 49th X-Flare of the current solar cycle, we have tied the X-Flare total from the previous solar cycle 24. When will #50 take place? Stay tuned to find out."

#SpaceWeather update via #SolarHam
"So is old region #AR3664 still active? Of course it is!
"An X2.9 solar flare was observed around the returning region at 07:08 UTC (May 27, 2024). The event is also responsible for an energetic coronal mass ejection (#CME) now emerging in updated coronagraph imagery. Because the sunspot region is still located behind the east limb, the flare itself was likely stronger than the X2.9 measurement. The CME itself should be directed away from our planet. We may see some busy days ahead of us. Stay tuned!"

Estimated X12 #SolarFlare from [presumed] #AR3664, which is on the far side of the Sun right now.
#CarringtonEvent was believed to be X45.
#AR3664 will be Earth-facing again soon.
"A fast moving, full halo coronal mass ejection (CME) is seen leaving the Sun this morning beginning around 05:30 UTC (May 20). Based on updated imagery, this event occurred on the farside of the Sun and is not Earth directed. Perhaps our old friend AR 3664 is up to its old tricks again. We should begin to see the big sunspot region turn back into view early next week."

#SolarHam #Spaceweather Update:
Largest #SolarFlare Of #SolarCycle25 Observed
May 14, 2024 @ 17:05 UTC (UPDATED)
"The largest solar flare of the current solar cycle 25, and largest since 2017 was just observed around deparing #AR3664 off the west limb. The #X8.7 event peaked at 16:51 UTC (May 14) causing a strong R3 level radio blackout directly over North America. More to follow.
"And Then...
"An eruption in the vicinity of newly assigned #AR3682 measuring M4.4 was observed at 17:38 UTC (May 14). This event looks to be eruptive, meaning a #CME will be produced.
"Solar Cycle 25 just kicked it up a notch!"

#SolarHam summary of the #auroras
MAY The 3664th
May 13, 2024 @ 00:45 UTC
"I just want to say thank you for your support the past few days. I did not get much sleep as SolarHam is a one person operation, however the Extreme #GeomagneticStorm generated a record number of visitors to the website. I appreciate everybody who continues to follow SolarHam on both the main website and on social media. Hard to believe I have been doing this now for over 18 years!
"I would like to share with you an article I wrote detailing the extreme geomagnetic storm titled 'May the 3664th'. I compiled data and imagery, all in chronological order to show how the events unfolded. I also added a small fraction of the aurora imagery that was submitted so far. Thanks again!"

I guess the #NationalScienceFoundation must be one of those prepper cultists groups... Oh, and there's another potential active area (known as a #SolarPlage) about to become Earth-facing. I noticed that on the latest #SolarHam image. The plage will more than likely become #AR3673. Will it be as large and active as #AR3664?
Scientists Developed New Model to Predict #Sunspot and #Plage Coverage for #SolarCycle25
"#SolarFlares and coronal mass ejections (#CMEs) are eruptive events that impact #satellites, communication networks, electric power grids, and technological infrastructures."

Something wicked this way comes?
Even though #AR3664 is almost out of view, it looks like something big is about to take its place! Yikes! (I think the new area will be designated AR3673, but I'm not 100% certain of that).

X3.9 Solar Flare / Radiation Storm
May 10, 2024 @ 08:50 UTC (UPDATED)
"The largest #SolarFlare yet produced by #AR3664 was just observed at 06:54 UTC. This X3.9 blast is associated with a Type II radio emission with an estimated velocity of 1248 km/s, along with a 10cm radio burst (TenFlare) measuring 900 SFU and lasting 16 minutes. A coronal mass ejection (CME) is now becoming visible and it appears the main bulk is heading to the west, but there will likely still be an Earth directed component. More to follow.
"Radiation Storm: The minor (S1) radiation storm threshold was reached at 13:35 UTC (May 10). This is possibly related to X3.9 flare this morning, or can also be due to a combination of all previous eruptions nearing Earth."
