Although anecdotal claims abound, the Sun is not getting brighter (see contadictory addendum below). I think there's lots of reasons for this perception; not the least of which is the fact that we humans spend much less time outdoors and more time staring at computer screens these days. Also, during the Northern hemisphere winter months the sun is much lower in the sky, shining more at eye-level than directly overhead as in summertime. Today's UV Index was very low throughout most of the continental US (high UV in Miami, Puerto Rico and Hawaii)- http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/stratosphere/uv_index/uv_current_map.shtml However Earth is getting closer to the sun now. Not to worry, it happens every year. Earth's perihelion is on January 2, 2013, but as Earth's orbit is very circular we're only a slight bit closer than aphelion in July. http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/EarthSeasons.php [b]2013 2013 Perihelion Jan 2 05 Equinoxes Mar 20 11 02 Sept 22 20 44 Aphelion July 5 15 Solstices June 21 05 04 Dec 21 17 11 [/b] [b]TOTAL SOLAR IRRADIANCE-[/b] Here's a plot from several satellites measuring Total Solar Irradiance (that includes visible and invisible wavelengths)- http://www.acrim.com/ For further study, here's NOAA's data access page on irradiance; http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/solar/solarirrad.html This is a good time to get as much sunshine as you can! Vitamin D levels tend to drop in wintertime and weakens your immune system. :sun::sun::sun::sun::sun: [/quote]

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!
