Big sunspot AR1654 is crackling with C- and M-class solar flares, and it poses a threat for even stronger eruptions.

Thanks for the PIN!

This is worth watching for at the next couple of days.

Good news. I Have been waiting for temperatures to increase a bit because I am on vacation next week.

what vacatiion ?

I wish the clouds would break, for she is directly earth-facing now... anyway, this is what I captured a few days ago ---

And this was from #Geomagnetic_Storm# with what he caught with his telescope:

She is pretty quite right now:

But still bold, big, huge even -

There is an incoming CME on the 17th from the solar flare a couple days ago.

No X? No problem.

so far...

WTF? Looks like it's flat lining.

Eerily quiet!

Geomagneticstorm and I will definitely be looking through his Coronado solar telescope today! Is it wrong to admit that we have our fingers crossed for some big flares?

Haarp readings look mighty ugly today --

It's decaying. It's very obvious.

I really miss NICT.JP...!

It's not wrong (at least I hope it's not).

Which could potentially cause earthquakes?

So they say. I'm not sure if there is scientific proof of this or not.
I have read information that seems pretty convincing.

Finally, a climb...

I'm curious... especially with the thread talking about a big EQ very soon. And we wait....

people get upset when use word threat. this is not gonna doom us period even if a x flare.

It's not the flare you have to worry about..

ya ya but it wont occur now later yes.. but not now

The odds are that your right. A huge x-flare won't pop off. However, it could and so we pay attention. If this spot is not the one, perhaps the next or the one after that etc...
When ever something does happen we will be first to know.

I have made some decent money in my life betting against the odds.

65% M flare

It's decaying. Shows over.

agreed.

No problem, just have nobama write up an executive order to ban these. The sun can no longer own AR's.

Solar Update / Slow Moving CME
Spaceweather is currently at very low (below C-Class) to low levels on Monday morning. The chances of a strong solar flare looks to be declining, however there will remain a slight risk over the next 24-48 hours.
