Our Sun is finally showing signs of waking up! Along with the extended fast solar wind that has been hitting Earth over the past few days, we have several recent filament eruptions, one of which looks like it might give us a little disturbance as it passes nearby Earth, plus some active regions clusters that are growing. This means we may see some enhanced storming starting July 18 that peaks around July 19. Aurora photographers at high latitudes might get a bit more aurora than usual, but mid-latitude watchers will likely need to continue waiting for better conditions. Back at the Sun, the growing active region cluster has already caused the risk for solar flares and radio blackouts to increase. Amateur radio operators and GPS users might see conditions get noisier, especially on the dayside radio bands over the next few days. In addition to the growing activity on the Sun’s farside, it looks like we will need to stay on our toes both this week and next! Learn the details of the growing activity, watch some spectacular filament launches, and see what else our Sun has in store.
