LOL. Sunspot region AR1675 is responsible for 9 of the last 10 recorded flares: [link to www.lmsal.com] Also, a 4-minute burst of radio interference from this flare- Space Weather Message Code: SUM10R Serial Number: 572 Issue Time: 2013 Feb 17 1601 UTC SUMMARY: 10cm Radio Burst Begin Time: 2013 Feb 17 1547 UTC Maximum Time: 2013 Feb 17 1547 UTC End Time: 2013 Feb 17 1551 UTC Duration: 4 minutes Peak Flux: 340 sfu Latest Penticton Noon Flux: 103 sfu Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] Here's the GOES X-Ray plot to watch for further action: [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] "There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life."

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a double-flash of extreme UV radiation from the explosion (click to set the scene in motion): Quoting: guest 34612123 Based on the duration of the flare and other factors, it seems likely that this explosion also produced a CME.

[link to www.n3kl.org] The 5-minute plots are not accurate (I have no idea why the jerks at NOAA won't fix it). The 1-minute plots are the official readings and match up with the Solarsoft flare list and all of the others.
