Sunspot Activity 28 July 2024

            There are a LOT of huge sunspots active right now. The ones in the centre are effectively pointing directly at Earth so there may be some solar-related activity headed your way. You have been warned! Tin foil hats at the ready.

Here is the news from the Earth Sky website:

Sun news July 28: Cannibal CME headed our way
Today’s top story: Two days ago, on July 26, the sun launched a coronal mass ejection – a great chunk of solar material and magnetic fields, aka a CME – from a filament eruption. Yesterday (July 27), a 2nd CME, this one associated with an M3.1 flare, left the sun toward Earth. The 2nd one is moving in space faster than the first. So the 2nd CME will overtake the slower one, cannibalizing it and creating a more complex single event. The resulting cannibal CME is estimated to reach Earth from late Monday (July 29) to early Tuesday. This should cause a G1 (minor) geomagnetic storm on Monday night, with a G2 (moderate) possible by Tuesday. Get your aurora-watching hats on, and good luck!
