#CMES ARE COMING: NOAA forecasters say there is a chance of G2-class geomagnetic storms on Oct. 4th when multiple CMEs might sideswipe Earth's magnetic field. Most of the incoming CMEs were hurled into space by sunspot AR3110, which unleashed a series of strong flares (M5.9, M8.7, X1) over the weekend. During G2-class storms, naked-eye auroras can descend into the United States as low as New York and Idaho

Yesterday, a pair of bright #CMEs left the #sun. Both are off target:

The CME on the right is debris from a magnetic filament, which erupted near the sun's southwestern limb on Sept. 23rd (1330 UT). The #CME on the left came from new sunspot AR3110. An M1-class #solarflare hurled it into #space (1810 UT). The bright light at 3 o'clock is Venus. None of these things will hit our planet.

The sun can't keep missing forever, can it? Active sunspot AR3110 is turning toward #Earth and will soon be in the strike zone
