x 1 is a nothing burger ...do some research and don't let the SOHO people yank your chain ... it's not earth directed, no CME reported ....
and yeah I was able to screen shot that x40 in 2001 (but that was two computers ago ... I just so happened to be on the website when it first showed up - it was not earth directed either - and very few people were even aware that it happened ...
after watching through this solar Minimun - cycle - it's nice to see an x flare ... I remember when CMEs were the main topic, and there were 30 x class flares every day ... no big deal - just means the sun is getting back to normal after its "rest" cycle (every 240 years)
Quoting: Shadow Dance Firstly, it was a 1.9; secondly, we've had two X-class flares in a single week, with more active sunspots ready to pop out something themselves. And if you knew anything at all about solar storms, you'd realize that a back-to-back series of medium/large CME eruptions can cause as much damage -if not more so- than one really huge one.
