It's a solar flare, not an explosion. At X-1 it's strong but there have been many more stronger this year. And because it wasn't earth facing, it'll probably do nothing. As the group rotates towards us, that will probably change.
Interesting the amount of activity when we are supposed to be entering/in a solar minimum.
