[quote:OpenEnded:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzI1MzgxOTExX0MxQ0I2NjZG] [quote:Enchanted Wanderer] Solar Flares are quick and come fast and powerful and they are what knock out power grids etc right? These are like a huge solar EMP right? ..very little warning & here within mins or hours? The big X class flares are what we really cant protect or prepare against right? CME's are slower, they take a few days to get here, dont fry electrics but can cause geo magnetic storms, earthquakes and weather anomolies.. [/quote] Hi EW, looks like you have most of it, but.. the effects on the Msphere and ionosphere are still unpredictable for many solar events. ie, a cme can cause instant disturbances to the Msphere depending on its location on the disk, and a flare can disturb the ionosphere which disturbs the earth's electric fields for days.. there are so many unique events we (humans) are just seeing for the first time this cycle. many are just now viewable thx to the new sats, but many solartards would say that this sc24 is different in many ways than has ever happened. it seems different from my observations.. if you have time, read the whole thread, many secrets can be revealed by doing so.. noaa/nasa.. Todays activity consisted of a long-duration C7 X-ray event which began at 0122Z, reached maximum at 0325Z and ended at 0427Z. The X-ray event was associated with a [b]Sf flare [/b]from Region 1236 (N17W21) as well as the [b]eruption of a 17 degree filament near N39W01. Also associated with this activity was a symmetric halo CME[/b] which first entered the SOHO C2 crononagraph field of view at 0316Z and had an estimated plane of sky speed of about [b]640 km/s.[/b] [/quote]

We have just had another huge X flare measuring at a X8.2 originating from sunspot 2673
On September 11, 2017

ALL flares recorded ARE Earth facing regardless of where the sunspot is located
-----------
CME FROM X9 HAS ARRIVED!
Issue Time: 2017 Sep 07 2242 UTC
WARNING: Geomagnetic Sudden Impulse expected
Valid From: 2017 Sep 07 2255 UTC
Valid To: 2017 Sep 07 2330 UTC
IP Shock Passage Observed: 2017 Sep 07 2229 UTC
On September 6th we have had 2 X flares! A X2.2 at 09:10 utc & a secend larger flare just a few hours later of X9.3 at 12:02 utc. There is a large widespread Earth directed CME associated with this latest X flare as we can see here

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!
