This follows a mid-September drop in ionizing radiation caused, ironically, by a strong solar storm and CME strike.

Space Weather News for Oct. 16, 2014 http://spaceweather.com MARS COMET: This weekend, Comet Siding Spring (C/2013 A1) will make a historically close approach to Mars. Satellites and rovers will get an eye-full as the green comet passes less than 140,000 km above the Red Planet's surface. No one knows what will happen. Possible side-effects of the flyby include a Martian meteor shower and auroras.

Space Weather News for Oct. 17, 2014 http://spaceweather.com A large and active sunspot is emerging over the sun's southeastern limb. Only two to three days ago, this active region unleashed multiple flares and hurled a massive CME over the edge of the sun. If these eruptions continue apace, solar activity could sharply increase in the days ahead as the sunspot turns to face Earth.

The blast produced an HF radio blackout on the dayside of Earth and it likely hurled a CME into space.
