SolarHam.com | Visible Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) - Saturday 8-4-12


An eruption registering as a long duration C-Class flare is currently in progress in the southeast quadrant. A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is now visible in the latest Lasco C2 images. The plasma cloud looks to be directed mostly towards the east.

The Sun is peppered with small to mid sized sunspots on Saturday, however most remain stable. There will remain the chance for an isolated M-Class solar flare this weekend.
