Active Region 1748 remains a magnetically complex region and more M-class solar flares are possible. We also take a look at the Coronal Mass Ejection from the M3.2 solar flare and the CME impact from last night. Read about it on the forum. More info

Anyone wants to see if there are chances for an auroral display so our site gets lots of traffic. But with higher traffic comes higher server costs. Support our project so we can keep the website online!
