This is the strongest of the event so far and the third X flare in 24 hours. SOLAR ACTIVITY SURGES: A sunspot on the sun's eastern limb is crackling with powerful X-class solar flares. Just-numbered AR1748 announced itself during the early hours of May 13th with an X1.7-class eruption (0217 UT), quickly followed by an X2.8-class flare (1609 UT) and an X3.2-class flare (0117 UT on May 14). These are the strongest flares of the year so far, and they signal a significant increase in solar activity. NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of more X-flares during the next 24 hours.

This is the strongest of the event so far and the third X flare in 24 hours. [link to www.theweatherspace.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33321756 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. I wonder if 3 X's in a 24 hour period is a record? Or what it means to have 3 X's so close together? |

This is the strongest of the event so far and the third X flare in 24 hours. So, can anyone check the records for 2012 last year whether there are 3 X-class solar flares in a 24 hour period or not? If no, then this year seems more solar doomish then the past..... Last Edited by Solar Guardian on 05/14/2013 12:10 AM |
