SOLAR UPDATE

MAGNIFICENT SUNSPOT: Double sunspot 1263 is a whopper. Its two dark cores are each wider than Earth. Those are Texas-sized bubbles of plasma rising and falling like water boiling on top of a hot stove. The magnetic field of sunspot 1263 harbors energy for powerful X-class solar flares. Because the sunspot is turning to face Earth, any such eruptions in the days ahead would likely be geo-effective.


Long Duration M-Class Flare and CME.: Reported here first, A long duration M1.4 Solar Flare took place around Sunspot 1261 at 06:19 UTC early Tuesday and also blasted a small and earth directed Full-Halo Coronal Mass Ejection (CMEs) into space. There will be a chance for minor geomagnetic storming within 72 hours.


Solar Update
: Sunspots 1261 and 1263 continue to produce C-Class flares and there will remain the chance for an M-Class flare. Sunspot 1261 which is in prime position for possible earth directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), continues to grow in magnetic complexity and it could be only just a matter of time before a moderate to strong Solar Flare takes place.
