Absolutely majestic view of the aurora right from our front door.

Gorgeous eruptions on the Sun today with multiple prominences lifting off of the Sun's northern and southern polar regions plus a little spitfire eruption from the western limb around 22 UT. None of these CMEs are Earth-directed.

Earlier today, there was an occulted C9.9 flare observed behind the Sun's eastern limb around 09:52 UTC. Because the flare was not fully in our view, its magnitude was almost certainly in M-class range. A narrow CME occured with this flare which will not impact Earth.

There's a new kid on the block! Say hello to AR 4284 which formed rapidly on Sunday and is already producing occasional C-flares.

It looks like it could be our next major flare player if it continues developing and becoming more magnetically complex. Let's wait and see...

Watching the aurora dance…
