The culprit behind all three eruptions from the sun is Earth-facing sunspot region 4455. The unstable region produced an M9.3 solar flare that peaked at 9:36 p.m. EDT June 2 (0136 a.m. GMT on June 3), followed by an M7.9 flare at 3:00 a.m. EDT (0700 GMT) and an X1 at 7:28 a.m. EDT (1128 GMT) — the most powerful category of solar flare.
The trio of eruptions triggered radio blackouts across Earth. The M9.3 flare triggered a moderate R2 radio blackout across parts of East Asia and Australia, while the M7.9 eruption caused another R2 blackout affecting portions of Europe and Africa. The strongest blackout came with the X1 flare, which generated an R3 radio blackout across parts of Europe and Asia.
With multiple eruptions now under analysis, the chances of geomagnetic storm activity later this week are on the rise.

Make sure when you go out to watch the Northern Lights, use a lot of situational awareness. Crazy illegal aliens hate gringos who watch the northern lights and they kill them. Especially if you “startle” them when you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Probably be cloudy at our place. 😳😊👍
Our sun is choking to death on man made CO2!
Just what I would want to hear about if I was on Artemis headed for the moon…
The unstable region produced an M9.3 solar flare that peaked at 9:36 p.m. EDT June 2 (0136 a.m. GMT on June 3), followed by an M7.9 flare at 3:00 a.m. EDT (0700 GMT) and an X1 at 7:28 a.m. EDT (1128 GMT). Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) replaced Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) as the primary international time standard. Good post, the Creator is going to do what He does.
So which night(s) should we look for the lights? What is the typical delay?
Thanks for the info. I’ve been wanting to photograph the sun, but it’s been too cloudy here. Not looking good for the weekend, either.
Tomorrow will be headaches at dawn and flashing/rotating lights by noon. Thunder storms rained for the last 2 days. I am about beat.
Dont forget about the tinnitus!
At this point of the year, all this part of the year at this part of the Country.
This part of the day.
