[quote:Anonymous Coward 20024796:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzMyMjkyMTg1X0Y0RjMyMzZD] [quote:joinca:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzMyMjkxNDQ1XzRDMzgwMTY1] Solar bullet misses earth, again (snip) But solar specialists said that the most intense of these storms isn’t expected until next year. The weekend’s solar storm erupted on the sun’s surface, but was low enough that the flare emanating from it – a cloud of highly charged particles hurled toward the Earth’s magnetic field at some three million miles an hour – had few impacts. This latest flare was the sixth just this year. More severe solar storms are known to affect the Earth’s magnetic field, causing other weather conditions such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and volcanoes. A solar storm’s impact on the earth’s magnetic field creates what’s called an electromagnetic pulse which – depending on the severity – can cause power blackouts, damage satellites, disrupt global positioning systems, and communications. Often, airlines are ordered to reroute around the North and South poles as a result of the storms. More severe solar storms such as the one in 1989 have taken out the power grid in Quebec, leaving some six million people without electricity for days. This latest storm, which is regarded as an X1.4-class solar flare, is just one in a series that are being closely monitored. Last month’s solar flare was registered as an X1.1-class.

ALL flares recorded ARE Earth facing regardless of where the sunspot is located

An update as to the arrival time of this CME will be added once all data has been reviewed.
The X9.3 flare is the 14th largest X flare ever recorded!
On September 4th we had 7 M flares from fast growing sunspot 2673, with at least 1 large dense Earth directed CME. This CME will arrive late in the day on Wednesday September 6th.
There is now a 25% chance for X flares over the next 24hrs & 71% chance for M flares
We have a Long Duration M2.4 Solar Flare starting
01:05 UTC July 14th 2017
There was a full halo CME observed with this solar flare. The associated CME is Earth Directed. See discussion on the last page for all updates!
