 Space weather this week looks a little bit like wash rinse and repeat as we take a look at the earth-facing disc Right about the beginning of the month We had this massive coronal hole that rotated through the earth strike zone and it sent us some fast solar wind and gave Us a bit of aurora and as we take a look at the Sun now my goodness It's like a double-take yet. We have yet another coronal hole That's going to be rotating into the earth strike zone and give us some fast solar wind over the next couple days So aurora photographers if you didn't get a chance to get some aurora This might give you yet another chance this hole looks like to be a little bit larger So we're going to keep our fingers crossed that it can give us some aurora down to mid-latitudes at least for Maybe a day or so now the nice thing is that it's not the only thing that we've got on the menu We have a couple big filaments that we're also watching because if they erupt They could be some earth-directed solar storms and we have a few bright regions on the earth-facing disc in particular Region 3153 that is the big M flare player right now It has it doesn't eat done anything but just pop pop pop But it does look like it could be a risk for radio blackouts so amateur radio operators and emergency responders be aware We could get some radio blackouts from this region if it continues to grow the way it is and also It could be a solar storm contender the nice thing though is as we take a look at the far-sighted disc This is stereo a and it's looking at the disc just a little bit from the side You can see that big coronal hole That's the one that's going to be sending us some fast solar wind here over the next couple days and again you can see Region 3153 in the south and you can also see a cluster of regions in the north They've actually been giving us or there's launching a few small solar storms not really big ones though But we've got some more regions even behind them So if we don't get any activity from these regions because they're a bit too busy kind of just popping off instead of giving us anything Substantial we do have more chance coming around and this means solar flux is going to stay up into the good range And what means we can't let our guard down when it comes to radio blackouts
