In the early hours of November 11th, 2025, Armistice Day of WW I, two strong coronal mass ejections erupteded almost simultaneously from the Sun's active region #4274 toward the Earth, carrying a large mass of magnetized solar plasma at a speed of about 1,500 km per second.

This material reached our planet in the early hours of today, November 12, interacting with the Earth's upper atmosphere and generating a strong geomagnetic storm (Kp index of 8 to 9-, G4 scale “severe”).

Comet 2P/Encke is causing intense activity of these phenomena during the first half of November.

On the night of November 9, two new events originating from the aforementioned comet were recorded by the sensors operated by the SMART Project at the Calar Alto (Almería), La Hita (Toledo), Sierra Nevada (Granada), La Sagra (Granada), Seville, Mazagón (Huelva), and Huelva observatories.

Again, the external cameras operated at Calar Alto Observatory in Almería, also registered both objects.

It's safe to say we are having a lot of activity above us lately.

In the late afternoon of November 8th, at 7:26 PM UT, another fireball flew over southern Spain.

This time, the SMART Project stations that were able to register the event were those operated from the observatories located at Calar Alto in Almería, La Hita in Toledo, Sierra Nevada, La Sagra and Otura in Granada, Mazagón in Huelva, Huelva, and Seville.

Once again, two of the external cameras at the Calar Alto Observatory in Almería were able to track this object.

November 8th 2025

Last night, November 8th, at 00:02 UT, a beautiful fireball with a stunning final fulguration was visible.

This object was recorded by the detectors operated by the SMART Project at the Calar Alto (Almería), La Hita (Toledo), Sierra Nevada (Granada), La Sagra (Granada), Olocau (Valencia), Huelva, Mazagón (Huelva), and Seville observatories.

Two of the Calar Alto Observatory's external cameras also captured this impressive event. The final flare, in particular, was visible in all its intensity from the Northwest camera.

Continuing with the large number of events we are recording these nights, at 01h29 UT on the night of November 2nd, a beautiful fireball could be seen towards southeastern Spain, over North Africa and part of the Mediterranean.

The SMART Project stations that recorded this beautiful object were those operated at the observatories of Calar Alto in Almería, La Hita in Toledo, Sierra Nevada, La Sagra and Otura in Granada, and the Seville.

Two of the external cameras operated at Calar Alto Observatory also registered this nice event.
