Downbelow Sun Solar Flares was recorded by extreme UV cameras onboard theSolar Dynamics Observatory shows an enormous magnetic filament breakingaway from the sun on august 1, 2010. Some of the breakaway material isnow en route to Earth in the form of a coronal mass ejectio.OnAugust 1st, the entire Earth-facing side of the sun erupted in a tumultof activity. There was a C3-class solar flare, a solar tsunami,multiple filaments of magnetism lifting off the stellar surface,large-scale shaking of the solar corona, radio bursts, a coronal massejection and more
In latest development NASA Solar Storm warning Solar tusname will hit Earth by August 3, 2010
Update : Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 214 Issued at 2200Z on 02 Aug 2010
IA.Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 01/2100Z to02/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Two B-class flares wereobserved, one of which was produced by Region 1092 (N16E10). Region1092 showed a minor increase in spot count during the period and was
classified as a Cho group with a beta magnetic configuration. No new regions were assigned.
IB.Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low.However, there will be a chance for an isolated C-class flare fromRegion 1092.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 01/2100Z to02/2100Z: Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels. The greaterthan 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was high throughoutthe period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagneticfield activity is expected to be at unsettled to active levels on day 1(03 August) due to the arrival of the first of two CMEs observed on 01August (this CME was associated with the long-duration C3/Sf flare at01/0826Z).
Activity is expected to be at active to minor stormlevels with a slight chance for major storm on days 2 - 3 (04 - 05August) due to the arrival of the second slower CME observed on 01August (associated with a large filament disappearance).
