Sun News for October 27, 2024: Geomagnetic Storming and Aurora Forecast
Sun news for October 27, 2024 brings exciting updates on solar activity. The expected coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with the October 24 X3.3 flare arrived late yesterday, causing disturbances in Earth’s magnetic field. Another CME from the X1.9 flare on October 26 is expected to provide a glancing blow on October 28, potentially leading to auroral displays at high latitudes.
In the last 24 hours, the sun has shown reduced activity, with multiple flares recorded, including an M2.9 flare and an M1.7 flare. The sun currently has 10 active regions on its Earth-facing side, with the potential for more flares in the coming days.
The chances for C flares are high, with a 99% probability, while the chances for M flares are at 75% and X flares at 30%. The sun continues to be monitored for any further solar activity that may impact Earth.
Overall, the sun is showing signs of increased activity, with the potential for geomagnetic storms and auroral displays in the near future. Stay tuned for more updates on solar events and keep an eye out for potential auroras in the sky.
