🚨BIGGEST Solar Flare IN YEARS JUST Missed us! (We are NOT out of the woods!)
👉The SAME Sunspot 3664 that caused all the craziness in the world has had its BIGGEST eruption yet... THIS is how it will affect us!

With the recent space weather activity, you may be confused by some of the terminology. Solar flares are energetic explosions from the Sun & can cause radio blackouts from minutes to hours. swpc.noaa.gov/phenomena/sola…

While the X8.7 solar flare is a headline grabbing event as it is the strongest solar flare of the current solar cycle thus far... based on STEREO A COR2 coronagraph imagery the resulting coronal mass ejection is likely not aimed at Earth.

The M4.4 solar flare that peaked not too

The suns activity the last few days has been nothing short of spectacular, especially from AR3664. Early this AM, it produced a major X3.9 flare. Multiple CME’s are on route to earth and may create a severe geomagnetic storm later today into the weekend…

Its now official, The reason we cant get a legit reading on this is because of its location! It is said to be STRONGER then an X8.7! THAT IS HUGE!

BOOM! Now THAT is a , the largest this solar cycle by some margin (X8.8-class). We still await solar imagery, but no doubt the busy active region AR 13663 is the culprit.

The new kid on the block, AR13682 fires off an M4.4 at 14, 1747 UTC that appears to have an associated CME due to it's location it's doubtful if it's on the Earth Sun line .

AR13664 finally delivers an X8.5 solar flare behind the limb with any associated CME well out of the Earth Sun line. This is the largest solar flare of the current solar cycle.

There does appear to be an associated coronal mass ejection with the recent X3.98 flare... this could turn our expected G4 into a G5 if earth directed.
