Top News of the Day:

2012-01-28 05:26   S2-Solar Radiation Storms Continue

NOAA Region 1402 continued to generate activity with an R3 (Strong) Radio Blackout around 1830Z (1:30 PM Eastern) on January 27th.  The Solar Radiation Storm scale, which had crossed below the S2 (Moderate) threshold less than 48 hours prior, is still above the S2 threshold but now appears to be leveling off and showing the first signs of decay.  Given the location of the region and the fact that the impressive coronal mass ejection associated with this event was directed away from Earth, significant geomagnetic storm activity is not expected from this event.  Stay tuned for updates as Region 1402 continues its trek around the limb and out of view.  Also, follow us on Facebook for more information.
