“Today’s headline grabbing event was of course the X1.1 solar flare (X3-strong) from sunspot region 3217. The solar flare however rather impulsive and it is not likely that is launched a coronal mass ejection into space. We are still analysing other events that took place today to see if any of those have a chance to impact our planet. We are nevertheless keeping an eye out for more solar flares as we have a lot of sunspot regions on the disk today with sunspot region 3217 being the most potent of them all. Keep an eye on this place for the latest news and data!”
We need common sense solar flare legislation NOW!!
Saturday Morning Update February 11, 2023 @ 12:10 UTC Good morning. A few more M-Flares on Saturday morning and two of them were centered around newly reemerged AR 3208 and newly assigned AR 3222. An M2.2 flare at 08:08 UTC was detected around 3208 and an M1.5 flare was just observed around 3222 at 11:34 UTC (Feb 11). Both sunspot regions almost appear to be twins as the approach the west limb. Elsewhere, both AR 3213 in the NW and 3217 in the SE will each remain a threat for at least moderate M-Flares.
Despite the flaring, no Earth directed eruptions appear evident in available coronagraph imagery.
