M4.4 solar flare from sunspot region 4168
Hello all and welcome to... August? Time flies when you are having fun and we hope all of our visitors are having an awesome summer... or winter for our friends down under! Solar activity has been pretty quiet in June and July which gave us the opportunity to recharge our batteries before the new aurora season kicks off in the northern hemisphere. Our Sun was on the same wavelength as us as there has been little activity worth mentioning on our nearest star. Did we pass solar maximum or is this the quiet before the storm? What do you think?
