Gusty Solar Wind Update

Solar Update / Gusty Solar Wind

 
Solar activity increased with C-Class flare activity being detected, including a C4.1 s/f around Sunspot 1421 in the northeast quadrant. New Sunspot 1422 which is also located in the northern hemisphere, continues to expand, and there is now a small chance for an M-Class event.

Solar Wind Update: A gust of solar wind reaching 650 km/s was detected by the ACE Spacecraft early Monday morning. This could again stir up minor geomagnetic activity at very high latitudes.
