X3.2 Solar Flare confirmed just now. This is the strongest of the event so far and the third X flare in 24 hours.

Sunspot region AR1748 is responsible for three X-class solar flares within the last 24 hours, each being stronger than the last. More X-class solar flares will be possible with this sunspot rotating toward our planet over the next several days.

If the sunspot was departing we wouldn’t have an issue to lookout for, but it isn’t. Instead, AR1748 is rotating around the front of the solar disk and it will be in place for Earth-directed solar flares and coronal mass ejections.

Coronal Mass Ejections are ejected magnetic particles from the Sun that impact the planet and disrupt our power grids, satellite grids, and produce the northern and southern lights. An Earth-directed CME from these last solar flares has not been detected yet so we are in the clear for now.
