 Space weather this week is finally beginning to calm down a bit as we take a look at our earth-facing disc You can see this big coronal hole that's been rotating through the Earth strike zone It is finally beginning to rotate to the Sun's far side So that fast solar wind that it's been sending us over the past couple days is finally beginning to calm down We have been getting some aurora especially at high latitudes over the last couple days and before that We had that massive G3 level solar storm So my goodness we've been getting aurora since geez the be end of last month So this is a nice respite, but before things completely calm down We do have a couple regions that are still big flare players region 3243 that's been firing off a couple Big flares and some solar storms. They're not earth-directed. So we don't have to worry about it It just makes for really good eye candy and we are now watching Region 3242 as it rotates in through center disc It is in the earth strike sound now and if it launches a solar storm it will be earth-directed So we're watching it We are expecting that it's going to increase its activity as it begins to rotate to the west limb because that's been the Trend of late. However, as we take a look at our far-sided Sun This is stereo a and we're looking at the Sun just a little bit from the side You can see there's not a lot of activity going on It's pretty much the same view that we have here at earth But if you take a look at the east limb and stereos view you are seeing some bright regions In fact in the north you can just barely see the glow the bright region That's going to be rotating into earth view in a few days is going to be a returning big flare player now We haven't seen a lot of launches coming off of it yet But it is very strong according to the JSOC far-side heliocysmology monitor. You can see that dark Patch there that shows you up in the north that we do have that region and it's pretty strong So we'll be interested to see as it rotates into earth view over the next three days How it's going to play out because it could be yet another big flare player with some more exciting adventures and Now for your Leo mio Gio orbit outlook as we take a look at the near earth space environment We're really going to focus in on the radiation belts because we just had that big G3 level solar storm And as the solar storm wanes those radiation belts really begin to energize particles In fact back on the first you can see the particles in the radiation belts really weren't all that intense You can tell by the green and blue colors you see here But you can also start watching and begin to ramp up and it begins to turn orange and then red in fact by the fifth The outer zone in Gio really started having some intense fluxes We crossed that to MEV threshold for intense flux, which means satellite operators in Gio Especially in the post midnight pre dawn sector. You're dealing with internal charging now It's not just surface charging and this is easily going to be lasting over the rest of this week before things begin to calm down It's going to take a while because we don't have any other big solar storms on the menu to flush out all these particles So you're just going to have to live with it easily over this next week. So just keep monitoring the situation For more details on this week's space weather including how the recent activity could affect you Come check out my channel or see me at space weather woman calm
