It started yesterday with an M1.1 solar flare and this morning it produced an M3.0 solar flare at 04:57 UTC and a very long duration M1.5 solar flare a 08:15 UTC.
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!
