"A beautiful filament eruption was just observed in the northeast quadrant of the Sun beginning around 10:30 UTC (May 7). Image by GOES-19 SUVI."
"A number of solar filaments have erupted during the past 24 hours and we have two more to keep an eye on today. In fact during the past hour, the filament located in the southern hemisphere has showed some movement so I would watch for a potential liftoff this morning. Image by GOES SUVI."
"A minor (G1) geomagnetic storm watch was just issued for May 9th. Coronal hole #46 is now facing Earth and yet another high speed solar wind stream is expected to reach our planet. Perhaps another chance this weekend for high latitude aurora watchers."
"Two filament eruptions within two hours observed.
The first event began at 16:20 UTC (May 6) in the southern hemisphere and was responsible for a plasma wave across the surface of the Sun following the liftoff. Coronagraph imagery does show perhaps a faint CME leaving the solar disk, however additional imagery will be required to see if an Earth directed component can be expected.
The second filament eruption began in the northern hemisphere around 17:50 UTC to the northeast of AR 4079. A large amount of plasma was flung to the north as seen in the attached photo by GOES-19.
See comments for videos of each event. A further update will be provided if an Earth directed CME is associated."
