Our sun is a just a little more active this weekend. There have been five flares larger than M-level in the past 48 hours or so, compared to only one between 15 and 20 Feb.

Flares and peak times are below in UT.

M3.3 12h10 UT 21 Feb
M1.4 14h30 UT 21 Feb
M4.9 02h12 UT 23 Feb
M1.0 09h56 UT 23 Feb
M1.6 11h56 UT 23 Feb

There are suggestions that we may see a second peak for "Solar Max" thanks to the sun's northern hemisphere being slower than the south in flipping its magnetic field.

SOLAR MAX -- IS A SECOND PEAK COMING? Solar Max has arrived, but only half of the sun has been fully participating. Most of the action in the past year, including the geomagnetic superstorm of May 2024, resulted from activity in the sun's southern hemisphere. Now, a second peak might be coming as the sun's northern hemisphere catches up. spaceweather.com

The Sun is a busy place at the moment as we're approaching solar maximum, with plenty of sunspots around 🌞

There was a lot of high thin cloud around this afternoon, but I still managed a peek at the current parade, projected through my binoculars onto a white screen & badly photographed with my phone 🤷‍♂️📱

The sun will reach the peak of its current activity cycle in 2024, one year earlier than previous estimates, according to experts at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC).

The revised prediction now places Solar Cycle 25's peak of activity known as "solar maximum" between January and October 2024 according to a NOAA statement. The peak will be earlier, stronger and last longer than estimates made in 2019.

Solar maximum will arrive sooner and last longer than previously expected, say scientists

"It's a pretty significant change."

The Bureau of Meteorology's Space Weather Service track solar storms, and this one has been a doozy!

The top index is global, and the bottom index is Australian.

Somebody has certainly pissed off the Sun God, Ra as he screams towards the Solar Maximum.

A few days back, the Sun unleashed an Earth directed flare. It took a few days to arrive, but it finally came in the early hours of this morning.

Aurora have lit up the world since!

Astrophotographers have captured them in Victoria, Tasmania. The below Gorgeous photo by AsV member Eddie Pang was captured using iPhone 14 Pro of this morning’s aurora captured at the Astro. Society of Victoria's Leon Mow dark sky site north of Heathcote (VIC)

In the north, they are reporting aurora as far south as Kansas!
