#X-CLASS #SOLAR #FLARE: Active sunspot AR3878 erupted again on Oct. 31st (2120 UTC), producing an X2-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a spray of hot plasma emerging from the blast site:

6-hr max: C5 0810 UT Nov01
24-hr: #X1 2120 UT Oct31

A pulse of extreme ultraviolet radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a shortwave radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean. Ham radio operators may have noticed loss of signal below 25 MHz for as much as 45 minutes after the flare.

We don't yet know if the explosion produced a CME. Initial guess: No.

#X-CLASS #SOLAR #FLARE: Emerging #sunspot AR3869 erupted this morning (Oct. 24th @ 0357 UTC), producing a slow X3.3-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the hour-long flash:
X-ray Solar #Flares
6-hr max: X3 0357 UT Oct24
24-hr: X3 0357 UT Oct24

Extreme #ultraviolet #radiation from the flare ionized the top of #Earth's atmosphere. This, in turn, caused a shortwave radio blackout over Australia and Southeast Asia. Ham radio operators may have noticed loss of signal at frequencies below 30 MHz for as much as an hour after the flare.

This explosion almost certainly produced a #CME. The US Air Force is reporting a Type II solar radio burst, a natural signal that comes from shockwaves at the leading edge of CMEs. Characteristics of the burst suggest a CME traveling 1.3 million mph.

#X-CLASS SOLAR #FLARE: #Sunspot AR3848 was directly facing #Earth this morning, Oct. 8th (0156 UTC), when it unleashed a powerful X1.8-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme #ultraviolet #flash:

This explosions lasted more than 4 hours, so long that it lifted a massive CME out of the #sun's atmosphere. Take a look at these preliminary coronagraph images from NASA's STEREO-A spacecraft. This #CME will certainly hit Earth later this week, potentially sparking a new round of geomagnetic storms.

#X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: New sunspot AR3825 erupted on Sept. 14th, producing a very strong X4.5-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:

#X-CLASS #SOLARFLARE: As predicted, strangely-magnetized sunspot AR3784 (described below) produced an X1-class solar flare today. The explosion was directly facing #Earth:

#Radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a deep shortwave radio blackout over India and the Middle East: map. The explosion might have hurled a faint halo CME toward Earth, but the jury's still out.

#X-CLASS #SOLAR #FLARE: Sunspot AR3738 erupted on July 14th (0235 UT), producing an X1.2-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:

Radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a shortwave radio blackout over Australia, southeast Asia and Japan. Mariners and ham radio operators in the area may have noticed a 30-minute loss of signal at all frequencies below 25 MHz.

So far, no CMEs have been detected in available coronagraph imagery. The explosion might not have lasted long enough to lift a CME out of the sun's atmosphere.

#X-CLASS #SOLARFLARE: Departing sunspot AR3664 (3697) produced another #X-flare today (1108 UT). The X1.5-class explosion occured just beyond the sun's western limb, and was partially eclipsed by the edge of the sun. As a result, it was not very geoeffective. The explosion did not reverse the decline of an ongoing radiation storm (described below), nor did it produce an Earth-directed CME.

#X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: An X2.8-class #solarflare exploded from the farside of the sun today, just beyond the #sun's southeastern limb. It may be old #sunspot AR3664, the source of the May 10th superstorm, still active as it turns to face Earth again later this week

(May 11, 8am US EST).
- A seventh #X-class 5.8 #solar #eruption has occurred with 4 in the sequence remaining to impact #Earth.
- The probability of a kill shot still remains exceptionally low.
- Expect "significant" network and system issues over the next few days.

Big #sunspot AR3590 is as dangerous as it looks. Late yesterday (Feb. 21 @ 2307 UT), the active region produced a powerful X1.8-class #solarflare with a shortwave radio blackout over the western USA and Pacific Ocean. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme #ultraviolet #flash:

The explosion did not produce a CME, at least not a bright one. NOAA analysts are still inspecting SOHO coronagraph data for signs of a storm cloud. If they find one, it will be reported here.

This could be the first of many flares from AR3590. The sunspot has an unstable 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for multiple #X-class #explosions

#X-CLASS #SOLAR #FLARE AND #CME: New #sunspot AR3341 erupted on June 20th, producing an X1.1-class solar flare (1709 UT). NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the extreme ultraviolet flash:

#Radiation from the flare ionized the top of #Earth's #atmosphere. This caused a deep shortwave radio blackout over North America: map. Aviators and ham radio operators may have noticed loss of signal at frequencies below 30 MHz for as much as 20 minutes after the flare.

SOHO coronagraphs have since detected a CME. It is the fan-shaped cloud expanding away from the sun's southeastern limb (8 o'clock position):

The CME's expansion velocity exceeds 1000 km/s (2.2 million mph), according to Type II radio bursts detected by the US Air Force. It's a fast mover that should deliver a potent blow to whatever it hits.

Earth is probably not in the strike zone, although a glancing blow may be possible on June 22nd or 23rd.

#X-CLASS #SOLAR-FLARE: The sun produced another #X-flare on Jan. 10th, this time from new sunspot AR3186. This movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the X1-class explosion hurling a plume of debris into space:

Radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a shortwave radio blackout over the South Pacific: blackout map. Mariners and ham radio operators may have noticed fadeouts and other unusual propagation effects at frequencies below ~30 MHz.

This is the 3rd X-flare in a week, and each flare has come from a different #sun spot. It's not just a single active region; the whole sun is becoming more active. NOAA forecasters say there is a 30% chance of another X-flare on Jan. 11th.
