I have been monitoring this on the NASA channel. They have been showing images taken from the SOHO spacecraft, which are interesting. These flares are the largest ever recorded.

What impact are these flares having on the crew of the ISS?

All those x-rays can't be doing them much good.

Several oddities in watching the sun this month. Solar flux at 2800 Mhz has been extremely high, as has been the sunspot number. Also 10488 grew from nothing to a major sunspot at an amazing rate. It'll be interesting seeing this region of the sun in a few weeks when it comes back to earthside.

We've seen a lot of these since the Bush tax cuts.

Coincidence?

I think not.
