@aurorausau 💯% 🙌
Hopefully everything will went well 🤞🤞🤞 i getting nervous lol 🫣

@JAtanackov Jure is the comet ( whilst en route to perihelion ( is its pathway obscured somewhat by the boom arm as it heads in ? Is that why it starts to look narrow or is it where it’s already broken apart ?
English

Comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) updata - T+13h: here is the entire sequence of comet MAPS in LASCO C2 coronagraph. It enters bright, but then quickly begins to fade, indicated by shortening and then disappearing blooming spikes. Hours later, the comet's tail or debris cloud emerges on the opposite side. This is the cloud of dust particles that remained after the nucleus had fully disintegrated, the remnant tail. The dust particles follow the comet's original orbital motion, but are also pushed out by the solar radiation pressure. This is essentially a headless comet, but unlike the Great comet of 1887 (the 'Headless Wonder') and C/2011 W3 (Lovejoy), the nucleus disintegrated before perihelion, rather than after. Ant to answer the question - will there be a headless comet in the evening sky? No. The debris cloud will be pushed out and slowly fade away as it spreads and its surface brightness falls. To get a post-perihelion headless comet, the nucleus would need to have survived through perihelion. But will this remnant become detectable in the morning sky?

This looks like the comet's tail / debris cloud. It will be interesting to see the dynamics once we have all LASCO C2 images, but my bet is on this being what's left of the comet.

@prystavski @theauroraguy Is there is a portion of the comet being obscured by the occulting arm as it heads in ?

@doktornihil @DarioSH49841523 This is such a beautiful flux rope 🙌

What happened before the X1.4 flare?
A minor filament disruption followed by a cascade of reconnecting loops in the north destabilised the whole complicated magnetic system between region 4405 and a small active region north of it.
Finally, the stress was released by the eruption of a core filament from 4405, accompanied by a large area of coronal magnetic field that was evacuated into interplanetary space.

@landon_wx 😂 constantly tests us - but it’s still rotating around in the disk too my friend 🙌
English

@landon_wx It’s looking more likely hey - sort of flattened out a bit it’s been approaching for 12 plus hours but it is a filament and they are notoriously slow .. I liken them to snail parkour 😆

3 years ago, one of the best Aurora storms I had ever seen, and still ranking high on my personal list, was the March 23, 2023 solar storm.
A beautiful display of Aurora. Back then I didn't have any real gear for shooting the Aurora, but this was the catalyst event that made me realize, I needed new gear and I wanted to chase the Aurora as much as I could possibly do.
Quite the life changing event. Images from Central Iowa.

Solar Synoptic Map
- increasing CME & solar flare risk
- waning influence of CH33- high speed stream
- AR 4401 is growing, leading to increased complexity
- new flaring region near the east limb
- rest of the regions stable or in decay
- still a chance for a shock arrival / CME glancing blow on 25 or 26 March

@J_master_caster Happy birthday ! I enjoy always seeing you express gratitude in your images - have an awesome day 🙌

Today, I turn 24 years old. As much as I hate the reminder that time is short, every year I like to reflect on my past to remind myself how beautiful life can be. So, here are 24 auroras to celebrate 24 years!

@halocme We had a series of filament eruptions on the 17th, with two or three possible glancing blow CMEs - i think those are the "2" - is it possible that the shock from "3" traveled through "2" and met "1"?
English

Congratulations on catching nice auroras. But I wonder if the solar storms were well understood. I thought the small increase ("1") signaled a delayed arrival of the 3/16 CME and that "2" was due to the 3/18 CME. But then what about "3"? Was the HSS from CH more important?

Halo CME@halocme
What happened to the recent promising CMEs? We saw a shock at ~20 UT on 03/20 (shaded in pink). If this resulted from the 03/18 CME, the 03/16CME left only the tiny increase at ~01:30 on 03/20 (blue line). I'd have expected it to arrive much earlier and to be more prominent...

@CathCath77 Good morning to you too 🙌 yes STEVE really hung about and out in a show for us 🙌
English

@aurorausau GOOD MORNING Aurorausau .. STEVE is amazing!!! And with the naked eye
English

STEVE poor quality timelapse due to local light pollution but it’s a good view of STEVE and how he propagates- naked eye facing West and he moved about for over an hour. There’s some awesome footage coming through. Victoria Australia 22.03.26 #spaceweather #STEVE #aurora

Update:
This CME is now emerging in the HI2 imagery, and is quite bright! Though, the bulk is obviously heading well south of Earth (green dot). We are probably on track for an arrival on Wednesday (March 25 UTC day)

Landon Moeller@landon_wx
This CME in LASCO C3. This is a healthy one!
