Solar Eruptions (9/9/2024) -

Two more coronal mass ejections to report on Monday. The first event was related to activity off the west limb and appears to be directed away from Earth. Of more interest, yet another large halo CME off the farside of the Sun and it originated beyond the east limb around 05:00 UTC (Sep 9). It is possible that the source could be the same region that produced energetic farsided events on Sept 3 and 5. A proton enhancement reaching the minor (S1) radiation storm threshold is currently being observed. The farsided CME is directed away from Earth and will not contribute to a geomagnetic storm. #spaceweather #coronalmassejection #solarham
