Although we are on the descending branch of solar cycle 23, a very strong active region, NOAA 652, crossed the solar visible hemisphere during the second half of July 2004. Its very large sunspot was of beta- gamma- delta type. This active region was a source of numerous X-ray flares and coronal mass ejections. Being in a favorable position not far from the equator, it represented a threat to planet Earth particularly when near its central meridian passage.

Using EIT images, it was possible to locate the position of the 2004 July 25 CME ejection as dimming of several loops to the SW of AR 652. As usual, the CME lift up was accompanied by type IV burst and followed by type II burst and a proton flare.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
