[quote:NiNzrez:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzM1NDk1OTE4X0RCQkE1MDBB] [quote:Hugh M Eye:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzM1NDk0MDM5XzI5RTY1RUY0] Oh well, NOAA has been NO-HELP, haha...at least they got the number right this time. New region AR1654 has been classified as (don't laugh) an ALPHA sunspot measuring in at 260 millionths (I said no laughter). As an unemployed relative-newbie at solar physics, I'm gonna agree with whoever said at least a Beta-Gamma and I'd estimate a size of at least 700 millionths. If we ever have a "solar Katrina", NOAA will be the "solar FEMA". Those overpaid eggheads make me wanna puke sometimes.

The largest event of the summary period was a C4 solar flare from old Region 1640 (N28, L=322) from beyond the west limb. Regions 1646 (N13W09), 1652 (N19E38), and new Region 1654 (N08E71) also produced low level C-class events. There are currently 10 numbered spot regions on the disk. Most of the regions have shown signs of stability or slight decay. Region 1652, a Beta-Gamma, is the most magnetically complex region on the visible disk. SOHO LASCO imagery indicated multiple CMEs in the past 24 hours, however analysis indicated that none appear to be Earth directed. [b].Forecast... Solar activity is expected to be at low levels with a chance for moderate levels [/b](R1 radio blackouts) during the forecast period (09-11 Jan). http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpdir/latest/forecast_discussion.txt [/quote] Alpha? that is clearly Not an Alpha :1doh1: [/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!
