1
NEW
Flares, ejections and the geomagnetic response at Earth across the observed window, with the solar cycle and the great historical storms for scale.
2
NEW
The observed flare, CME and storm log: class, timing, speed and geomagnetic response, event by event.
2026
NEW
A moderate storm, read closely: the flare, the ejection, the twelve hours of geomagnetic disturbance at Earth, and what the same sequence looks like at Carrington scale.
