Solar activity was very low and the visible disk was spotless. 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 above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.
There are no planets in retrograde!
The Solar System at a Glance
Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSOCVR spacecraft, reflected nominal conditions. Total magnetic field strength was below 5 nT. Solar wind speeds declined from 425 km/s to 375 km/s. Phi angle was predominantly negative.
There is a 15% 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.
