The past two days (5–6 November 2023) have seen a ramp-up of the Sun’s activity. Earth experienced a slew of geomagnetic storms over the weekend, ranging from G1/Minor (Kp 5) to G3/Strong (Kp 7). The storms were a result of

A CME was observed on June 21 at 02:48 UT with an average speed of ~ 976 km/s. The CME was associated with an M-class solar flare from active region 2371. The arrival time of the CME on Earth was
A partial halo Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed early on 15 March 2015 from active region 2297 near the centre of the solar disk. Traveling towards Earth at an estimated speed of ~800 km/s the CME impacted the Earth's
