Solar Update / Pair of Eruptions Solar Flare Risk ~ M-Class: 70% X-Class: 30% Active Watches ~ Geomag. Storm YES Radiation Storm NO Here is an updated look at the visible solar disk on Sunday. Solar activity during the past 24 hours was low with only minor C-Flares detected. The source of these flares, region 2205 now approaching center disk, initially showed signs of slight decay, but will remain a threat for at least M-Class solar flares. An active region now turning into view off the southeast limb was numbered 2208 overnight and appears to be fairly stable. A filament eruption was detected in the northwest quadrant beginning at 08:00 UTC and generated a coronal mass ejection (CME) that looks to be directed north of the ecliptic and away from Earth. Shortly after this event, a prominence eruption observed in the vicinity of 2208 near the east limb was visually impressive, however much of the plasma appears to have been reabsorbed. More details to follow regarding this event if necessary. Stay tuned ~
