Sun Doom! Another MASSIVE Solar Flare!
[link to www.armageddononline.org]

A major solar flare erupted from the sun late Sunday, sending out an explosion of plasma and charged particles.

The X1.1-class solar flare exploded from the surface of the sun at 11:13 p.m. ET, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center, operated by the National Weather Service.

X-class flares are the most powerful type of solar storm, with M-class eruptions falling within the midrange and C-class flares being the weakest.

What is the PEAK going to be like in 2013!?!

STRONG SOLAR ACTIVITY: Solar activity is now high. Big sunspot AR1429, which emerged on March 2nd, is crackling with strong flares. This morning brought the strongest so far--an X1-class eruption on March 5th at 0413 UT. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:

Update: The explosion also hurled a bright CME into space. According to analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, the CME will probably miss Earth, although it will hit Mercury and Venus. An animated forecast track shows the likely progression of the cloud.

Even if this CME misses, high-latitude sky watchers should still be alert for auroras in the nights ahead. An M2-class eruption from the same sunspot on March 4th produced another, wider CME that might yet intersect Earth. The cloud is expected to deliver a glancing blow to our planet's magnetic field on March 6th at 04:30 UT (+/- 7 hr).
