Solar activity on the earth-facing solar disk is low. None of the earth-facing sunspot regions are worth mentioning apart from perhaps sunspot region 2203 which is growing steadily but lacking any magnetic complexity. However, that doesn't mean the Sun has been totally quiet. Yesterday we saw a rather impressive filament eruption and today our eye fell on a massive shockwave propagating from behind the north-east limb. In this article we take a look at these two events.
A lot of people come to SpaceWeatherLive to follow the Sun's activity or if there is aurora to be seen, but with more traffic comes higher server costs. Consider a donation if you enjoy SpaceWeatherLive so we can keep the website online!
