So that's a trio of X-flares closing out 2024, and another trio of X-flares in the first week of 2025.
And look at our Sun, all lit up:

It was a quiet two weeks on the Solar-front, but around 5 December 2024 we started to see some small sizzles registering on the chart, growing more active until the X2.2 on 8 December 2024.
 |
SpaceWeather called the burst "impulsive" (read here).
The ensuing CME isn't Earth-facing:

The chart above is the current SR reading ~ since I still have access, here it is. I was also going to post some screenshot highlights for the past few weeks that I saved, but remembered that Disclosure News Italia does a nice compilation of the readings for the entire month, so here it is for August, thanks to them and of course the actual source, Space Observing System:

There were brief spells of geomagnetic storms and disturbances, but what I wanted to point out is that the Solar activity "reverse-spike/hearbeat" pattern is back:
 |
| Laboratory of X-ray Astronomy of the Sun, Russia |
Started on 31 August and still on-going now:
 |
The previous phase of this reverse-spike/heartbeat activity ended on 11 April 2024, after going on for more than a month since end-February 2024 (here).
The following are clips of what our Sun has been up to, with massive amounts of Cosmic Plasma being thrown Venus' way. Interesting to note that in mid-July it was Mars getting our Sun's attention.

SpaceWeather reports that this is the 3rd CME being hurled at Venus in as many days:
The CME won't hit Earth. Instead, it is heading for Venus. A NASA model predicts it will strike on Sept. 3rd. This will be the third CME hitting Venus in as many days, each one eroding a thin layer of the planet's unprotected cloudtops.
I can only wonder what's happening over at Venus. And at Mars. And at the rest of the Solar System, for that matter. Given the Rescue Mission that is on-going in our part of the Cosmos, I often wish for information regarding the other Planets in our Solar System.

I wasn't able to determine if these were from that X-14 flare, but I'm assuming they are. Here's the video:

Holy moly.
And here's the present SR, since I can still access the chart:

One X-1.5 flare just hours ago, with 3 almost-X flares in past 48 hours (image above).
Radio blackout in this region:

Look at the CMEs that our Sun spewed out:
 |
| SpaceWeather |
Here's what SpaceWeather.com has to say about these "wagon-train" CMEs:
CANNIBAL CME ALERT: A series of M-class flares over the weekend hurled multiple CMEs toward Earth. According to a NOAA model, the first two CMEs merged to form a potent Cannibal CME. Strong G3-class geomagnetic storms are possible when it reaches Earth on July 30th. Subscribers to our Space Weather Alert Service will receive an instant text message when the CME arrives.
The Cannibal CME is clearing the way for 2 or more CMEs following behind it. SOHO coronagraphs show a wagon-train of clouds leaving the sun on July 28th (image above).
These CMEs are flying into a void created by the earlier Cannibal CME.
With little interplanetary material to slow them down, the storm clouds
should reach Earth no later than July 31st, potentially intensifying any geomagnetic storm already underway. If the G3
forecast is correct, auroras will be visible at mid-latitudes across
Europe and the USA on July 30-31. Stay tuned for updates.
Bonus: Watch NOAA's animated forecast model of the first two CMEs merging to form a Cannibal:
I'm still able to access SR readings so here's the last chart for this post:

It took me a very long while before I could finally fall asleep last night (28th) ~ now I know why. And the high-pitched tones! I've mentioned before that I'm rather pleased with myself for being able to tune out these sounds for years now, but last night was exceptionally loud. No discomfort or irritation at all, just very loud. Of course wearing ear-plugs (which I dislike anyway) would be futile because the noise isn't from outside, it's internal. Plugging the ears would only serve to provide a loud echo effect.
Geomagnetic storms are expected to come our way soon, fair warning! 😅

What on Earth (or off-Earth) is causing this type of abrupt zero-to-off-the-charts reading? The "transmission" ended almost as abruptly, without any tapering off.
This may be the last time I get to post SR charts from Space Observing System as they are limiting access to registered users only (or something like that). This requires filling in a questionnaire and providing details, and that would be a no for me. So I guess after 8 years of daily checking in at the website, I will have to move on.
Many thanks to Space Observing System for being the main resource of SR readings for me, I truly appreciate your charts 💚 I must have posted hundreds of them over the years!
Namarie! 💜

Let's see some resources pertaining to the recent X-1.9 flare, which just occurred on 16 July.

This produced CMEs that are heading Mars' way (click link below for video):

Meanwhile, let's see how the current SR (top of post) develops.

The X-Ray Flux chart above (GOES-16 data) shows a "break" in data reading. Checking another source confirms the same break (GOES-18):
 |
| Space Weather Prediction Centre |
Unless both satellites malfunctioned at the same time (or were taken off-line for a specific reason), "something" may have happened to disrupt the readings.
Then there's another blackout on the SR chart (and I'll get back to this later):
 |
| Space Observing System |
The "break" and blackout occurred within 24 hours of each other ~ early hours UTC on 25 June and late hours UTC 25 June, respectively.
So, two days ago (25 June my time, about noon) I felt really disjointed all of a sudden. I don't know what really happened but it was like our Planet had jumped ahead of her Timeline, or went up several notches in frequency. I've been feeling discombobulated since then. The usual caveat, this is just my opinion.
Coming back to the SR graph ~ isn't it interesting that the same type of blackout following a massive surge occurred on 23 June as well? Here's the chart from the check-in I did on 23rd:

We started to get a massive surge in SR activity, the recording blacked out (overload/malfunction/whatever) and resumed after about 8 hours.
Solar flare-wise, we had an M-9.2 yesterday

And here's an update from SpaceWeather, reporting on our very active Sun:
MARTIAN AURORA WARNING: A CME is heading for Mars. According to a NASA model, the storm cloud will strike the Red Planet on June 27th. The impact could spark global auroras and erode a small amount of the planet's atmosphere. Aurora alerts: SMS Text
SOMETHING FLARE-Y THIS WAY COMES: Old sunspot AR3664 might not be dead, after all. It's returning today for a rare third trip across the Earthside of the sun. Usually such a superannuated sunspot would be a decaying corpse. Instead, we're getting an explosive active region:

This will be a random representation (because I've not been posting as often as I would like) of the sometimes unusual readings of the SR in the past weeks:
 |
| Space Observing System |
I've long lamented over the existing situation where I feel that no one has accurately interpreted or identified (publicly) what's truly going on with the heightened SR activity since 2016, and that we need updated/re-calibrated recording devices to recognise the New Energies coming in. At this point in time, I'm thinking we need entirely new ways to measure these energies 😁
Having said that, I'm also thinking that there actually are mediums currently able to detect these energies....US! 😇

Multiple CMEs spewed out of our Sun ~ SpaceWeather has some details about the potential of them forming a cannibal CME (here). Whoa.... this footage includes Jupiter (left) and Venus (right)!
And look at the extremely high readings for both plasma density and radial velocity expected on 11 May!

I'm also highlighting a photo I took of our Sun this morning (first image of this post). Again, I apologise for the dismal attempt to capture what I saw, but I hope that the essence of the frequencies are somehow being conveyed in some way.
When I looked out of the window this morning at our Sun, I was knocked back energetically straightaway! There was this "multiplication effect" that I saw, I can't explain it properly but that would be the best way to describe it. I want to say more to clarify, but I feel that I can't at the moment, so I'll leave it at that. As for the photo, I digitally removed the building on the bottom right to respect the privacy of the residents.

It's been a week of high-octane Solar activity all-round. And a Cosmic payload that had some serious stuff for this part of Space! This is related to what I described in my earlier post (here) about the locked-on grid. Details are still fuzzy and I don't have any further understanding or clarity about this yet, apart from what I had already written. But I'm pretty sure many felt this recent Cosmic payload ~ I'm assuming most of the following charts I'm posting here have some correlation to this.
On 3 May 02:22 UTC, we had a Solar Flare charting at X1-6 (main image above and image below):
