Active Region 12192 unleashed a Major X1.1 solar flare at 05:03 UTC this morning. This spectacular long duration event implies a large coronal mass ejection (CME) will be following, however the ejecta seems to have a strong component heading well south of the ecliptic plane and not heading towards the earth. As yet no CME is visible in solar telemetry, stay tuned for updates.
Will be keeping an eye on this one, something tells me it will be popping some more.
This guy is on the ball when it comes to how Sun activity effects the Earth, the climate change lie and much besides. It might be a steep learning curve but its worth the investment IMO.
I am starting this with a post of his from a few days ago as a lead in to the recent quake off Japan.

Life is fragile and often we need real physical events to remind us.All is good.
