The wind stream associated with a big coronal hole may trigger an increase in the number of highly energetic electrons in the satellite environment, thus posing a threat to satellite operations.
STCE researchers used a sophisticated wavelet-based algorithm to automatically detect and characterize thousands of transient EUV brightenings, often called campfires, in the HRIEUV data obtained at the closest-perihelion of Solar Orbiter.
NOAA 4168 (SIDC sunspot group 588) was one of the larger and more flare-active regions during the last few weeks. It produced no less than 17 M-class ("medium") flares, with a few quite spectacular.
