A Big Solar Flare & a Filament Poised to Erupt | Space Weather News 22 December 2023

Our Sun continues to keep the holiday fireworks going as Region 3519 fires off several large flares and radio blackouts before rotating to the farside. Although solar storms were launched, they are too far west to be Earth-directed. Still, aurora photographers should enjoy some aurora views at high latitudes due to a pocket of fast solar wind coming over the next couple of days. We are also watching an unstable filament crossing through the Earth-strike zone, which could launch as a partly Earth-directed solar storm, so be aware the aurora forecast could change quickly. Amateur radio operators should enjoy the solar storm reprieve, with high solar flux and good propagation on Earth's dayside, despite the noisy conditions and periodic radio blackouts. GPS users, however, should remain vigilant, especially at low latitudes near dawn and dusk, and in the southern hemisphere where GPS reception could become pretty unreliable. Learn the details of the recent solar flare activity, check out the filament poised to erupt, and see what is lurking on the Sun's farside!
