The Sun
X-ray flux
Flares show up as sudden jumps. Letters mark the flare class: A, B, C, M, then X for the strongest.
0.1–0.8 nm (flare class)0.05–0.4 nm
Proton flux
Energetic particles from the Sun. Radiation storms (S1 and above) begin when the ≥10 MeV flux reaches 10 pfu.
≥10 MeV≥50 MeV≥100 MeV
Earth Solar Wind Connectivity
Where the solar wind reaching Earth most likely left the Sun, from tracing the magnetic field back from L1.

Solar wind at L1
Measured about 1.5 million km sunward of Earth, roughly an hour before it arrives.

Geomagnetic activity (Kp)
Three-hourly planetary Kp, with NOAA's forecast for the next three days. Kp 5 or more is a geomagnetic storm (G1).
