SOLAR FLARE: Sunspot 1158 has just unleashed the strongest solar flare of the year, an M6.6-category blast @ 1738 UT on Feb. 13th. The eruption appears to have launched a coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. It also produced a loud blast of radio emissions heard in shortwave receivers around the dayside of our planet. Stay tuned for updates!
BEHEMOTH SUNSPOT 1158: Sunspot 1158 is growing rapidly (48 hour movie) and crackling with M-class solar flares. The active region is now more than 100,000 km wide with at least a dozen Earth-sized dark cores scattered beneath its unstable magnetic canopy. Earth-directed eruptions are likely in the hours ahead.

They know because the charged particles are not traveling the speed of light and arrive days after the X-ray or other radiation tell-tales.

Drat. I lost that last glass Coke bottle, and it’s still too cold to open a window. I still have the shades drawn. Maybe I’ll leave a beer bottle tied to the key, instead...

The Sun has been inactive longer than it’s cycle would predict. Looks like El Sol is waking up.
