Very Nearly The Most Powerful CME/Solar Flare/Radio Bursting Event Recorded, Aimed At Earth -- Just Documented By NOAA...


Well, we did say this solar-max cycle would arrive early, and be intense. Both are true -- as of this morning.

Listen to NOAA/NCAR for the whole story, and see gif animation at lower center:

. . .An X2.8 flare (R3) occurred from Region 3514; located over the far NW area of the Sun. This is likely one of the largest solar radio events ever recorded. Radio communication interference with aircraft were reported by multiple NWS Center Weather Service Units (CWSU) co-located at FAA facilities. These impacts were felt from one end of the Nation to the other. Additionally, SWPC is analyzing a possible Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) associated with this flare.

Wow!
