Solar activity was very low. Newly numbered Region 2758 (S29E26, Cro/beta) developed rudimentary penumbra on its leader spot. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently normal.
There is currently only one planet in retrograde.
The Solar System at a Glance
Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, reflected near-background conditions. Total magnetic field strength ranged from 1-5 nT. No significant periods of negative Bz were observed. Solar wind speeds were between 329-413 km/s. Phi angle was variable.
There is a 10% chance of solar activity, with a 1% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
