"Is an X class flare what they used to call a CME or Coronal Mass Ejection? "

yes, it is just the larger ones that can effect the earth in some way. The last time this event took place that lasts about a year was in the 50's the aurora borealis was able to be seen as far down as Mexico. This time we expect to see a lot of nonoperational satellites.

Then there are Superflares which is extremely unlikely that we will see one of those. Which means the end of Mars atmosphere (oops it already happened)

Very cool Northern Lights viewing time! I will have to go out in the dark and peek.

Thanks for the feed back. Back when CME was just a theoreticians pipe dream, it was said a yellow sun did this as it began to shift to the Red phase. Is our sun low on fuel that you have heard of?
