[quote:Hugh M Eye:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzI4NDk2ODE4XzY1QjBGNDhE] UPDATE 12/06/11: There was another bright CME on the NW limb-not Earth-facing. :cme1206: The unpredictable sun which seemed to be increasing in both spots and flaring yesterday-has mysteriously pooped out and some spots are decaying rapidly. AR11361 is about to vanish over the NW limb; 1362 has weakened considerably since we first saw it: 1365 which mushroomed quickly is now disappearing: large active region 1363 has diminished slightly, but is still Earth-facing and capable of strong flares. 1364 is a single spot and appears stable. The region 1368 in the SE was spotless-produced 3 C-flares-grew spots yesterday-now has decayed to almost nothing again. Between it and the big one is 1367 which seems stable. A new region in the NW has been numbered 1369. Why? I don't know-it looks to me like a small part of region 1366 which may be the only growing region on the disk. http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/synoptic/sunspots_earth/mdi_sunspots_1024.jpg http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/browse/2011/12/06/20111206_180956_2048_HMII.jpg Another small earthquake in Hawaii has shaken up the Mauna Loa solar telescope. http://halpha.nso.edu/movie_all_M.html [/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!
