X1.6-Class Solar Flare on September 10th, 2014: GOES X-Ray Flux (1-minute data) just recorded a X1.6-Class Solar Flare, which peaked at 17:45 UTC out of Beta-Gamma-Delta Active Region 2158. NOAAs D-Rap Absorption Map shows the near instantaneous flux in UV, X-Ray and their effects on the Earths ionosphere, upper atmosphere. It looks like this could be another long duration Flaring event, this one occurring from near the center of the Earth-facing portion of the Solar Disc. NASAs SDO shows the X-Class Solar Flare in a variety of Angstroms, with it being most noticeable on AIA 094, AIA 131, AIA 193, AIA 304, AIA 335, and AIA 1600 just to name a few. The Sunspot Number is up to 162 today, it was at 158 yesterday. NOAAs Forecasters are predicting a 75% chance of M-Flares and a 30% chance of X-Flares over the next 24-hour period. TESISs Sun Flare Monitor (GOES-15) recorded just one Solar Flare yesterday: a C3.2-Class Flare out of Beta-Gamma-Delta Active Region 2175 at 12:26 UTC. So far today, TESIS only bothered to record one C-Flare, which was of C2.4-Class intensity out of AR 2157. Meanwhile, ACE Solar Wind telemetry shows that the speed (yellow) is around 360 km/s, while the density (orange) is between 7 to 8 protons/cm^3 as of 17:56 UTC. ACEs Real-Time Shock Page shows that the Earth was hit by one interplanetary shock at 14:15 UTC this afternoon. NOAAs Satellite Environment shows that the Estimated Planetary K-Index is currently at KP-3, while GOES13 Proton Flux will be worth checking in on over the next couple of hours; same with the new Schumann Resonance monitor: sosrff.tsu.ru/new/shm.jpg UPDATE: Dr. Tony Phillips, of SpaceWeather, is Johnny-on-the-spot: X-FLARE: Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected a powerful X1.6-class solar flare (Sept. 10 @ 17:46 UT). The source was active sunspot AR2158, which is directly facing Earth. NASAs Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash: Ionizing radiation from the flare could cause HF radio blackouts and other communications disturbances, especially on the day-lit side of Earth. In the next few hours, when coronagraph data from SOHO and STEREO become available, we will see if a CME emerges from the blast site. If so, the cloud would likely be aimed directly at Earth and could reach our planet in 2 to 3 days. Stay tuned for updates about geomagnetic storms in the offing.
