BREAKING: MARCH 29 X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE JUST ERUPTED! HOLD ON CALI
AR2017 has just unleashed an X1-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the extreme ultraviolet flash on March 29th at 1752

Sunspot AR2017 in the sun's northern hemisphere is crackling with M-class solar flares, and it has a delta-class magnetic field that harbors energy for even stronger eruptions. Earth-directed flares are possible this weekend.

^^^^ this was BEFORE the updated news of the XClass flare^^^^

Major solar flare measuring X1.0 erupted from Region 2017 on March 29, 2014. This event started on 17:35, peaked at 17:48 and ended at 17:54 UTC. Area of impact consists of large portions of the sunlit side of Earth, strongest at the sub-solar point. Wide area blackout of HF (high frequency) radio communication for about an hour.

A 10 cm Radio burst event with peak flux of 360 sfu was observed from 17:45 - 17:48 UTC.

Additionally, a Type II radio sweep was observed at 17:53 UTC with estimated velocity 4 508 km/s! Type II emissions occur in association with eruptions on the sun and typically indicate a coronal mass ejection is associated with a flare event.

This region already had 2 moderately strong eruptions in last 24 hours - M2.0 19:18 UTC and M2.6 at 23:51 UTC on March 28, 2014.

it is unknown if it produced a CME at this point. If it did, it will be at least somewhat earth directed. The sunspot is on the west area of the sun.

NO NO NO nO NO NO NO NO and more NO. its already arrived, the X ray Flare. Done and over. IF it made a CME and I am not sure the CME on Stereo B is it, that will arrive in 1 to 5 days and its not going to do jack shit, its not that big.

too early to say.

the velocity is much greater than the "near miss" they said would have taken the grid down.

that eruption was on the far side of the Sun.

this eruption is (probably) mostly earth directed

there are two M-flares which preceded it which makes it potentially much worse, as if the record velocity wasn't enough :/

not sure what sort of CME's the M's produced since I haven't been following closely lately, but I'm pretty sure it would be enough to make a difference
