The sun's visible surface -- its photosphere -- is a scorching 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Above it is the upper corona, burning in the millions of degrees. Between the photosphere and the upper corona lies the interface region. While this area is believed to have a major influence on the sun-Earth relationship, it hasn't yet been studied in detail, and scientists aim to change that with this mission. Ultraviolet emissions streaming from the sun affect Earth's climate as well as the space environment that surrounds us. The IRIS spacecraft, with its ultraviolet telescope, is equipped to take high-resolution photos and spectrometry, offering a look at how energy and plasma move through the varying layers of the solar atmosphere. When combined with 3D modeling, these observations could greatly increase our understanding of our nearest star. NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) spacecraft will soon begin its two-year mission aboard an Orbital Sciences Pegasus XL rocket launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. From its position in polar, sun-synchronous orbit, the 403-pound IRIS satellite will investigate the sun's lower atmosphere in unprecedented detail.

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!
