The Sun spat out a long duration Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) starting at around 1900Z on 30Aug2025.

This NOAA SWPC ENLIL model predicts an arrival at earth at 2100Z 1Sep2025. That's 9am on 2Sep2025 for New Zealand which make the chances of seeing aurora here pretty low. Observers at lower longitudes may have more luck.

However, the duration of the flare may mean that any aurora on earth last longer than usual.

Long-duration M2.7 solar flare launches Earth-directed CME, impact expected late on September 1

A long-duration solar flare measuring M2.7 at its peak erupted at 20:02 UTC on August 30, 2025. The eruption produced an asymmetric full halo coronal mass ejection (CME), with impact expected late on September 1 into September 2. A G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm watch is in effect. #spaceweather ##CME #solarflare

Another X-Flare

June 19, 2025 @ 23:55 UTC

"X-Flare Alert. Sunspot region 4114 just produced an X1.9 solar flare peaking at 23:50 UTC (Jun 19). Coronal dimming is not yet evident meaning a noteworthy #CME is unlikely. More to follow whenever necessary."

We'll know if the Starlink satellites are being knocked out of LEO by that CME in a few days when the Russian advance in Ukraine stops....

An Earth directed Solar Flare has just been released from the Sun and it is a doozy! I will be keeping a close eye on Space Weather to give updates but I would expect auroras Sunday night/Monday morning!

Let's hope this offers similar views to Oct 10, 2024 or better!

Heh, and here I thought band conditions were poor yesterday...

Protip: a coronal mass ejection is not only an event after you've consumed too many Mexican lagers.

Interested in cancer genetics? Don't want to fly somewhere to here about it? Next week the American Society of Human Genetics is having an online-only digital symposium on cancer genetics.

I think it's also worth up to 6 #CME credits if you do continuing medical education.

An X1.1 flare erupted from a new active region on the east limb, peaking at 15h20 UT 28 Mar (not 15h35 UT as previously stated).

After 1.5 hours the XRay flux is still above M-level, but is falling. The flare appears to be a filament eruption.

An R3 radio blackout affected the Caribbean, Central America and northern S America.

10cm, type II and type IV radio emissions and a coronal mass ejection were observed.

This flare marks the end of couple of fairly quiet weeks on the sun!

A Coronal Mass Ejection from the Sun is predicted to impact Earth within the next hour.

Sadly it is daylight and cloudy here but you Northern hemisphere folks may have better luck.

"G3 (Strong) Geomagnetic Storm Watch for 23 Mar" by NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center - The Sun erupted a coronal mass ejection (CME) expected to reach Earth on March 23 UTC at G3 storm level. That means forecasted Kp=7 for aurora down to Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts. https://www.spaceweather.gov/news/g3-strong-geomagnetic-storm-watch-23-mar #astronomy #aurora #AuroraBorealis #AuroraAustralis #CME #SpaceWeather
