Breaking X1.3 solar flare not earth threatning no doom porn here!!!

A major solar flare measuring X1.3 was observed at 00:27 UTC around region 2035, now located behind the west limb. Because the blast took place beyond the west limb, any associated coronal mass ejection (CME) will be directed away from our planet. More details to follow.

CME Update: A bright coronal mass ejection (CME) is seen leaving the blast site in the latest LASCO C2 imagery. Unfortunately for sky watchers, the plasma cloud is directed away from our planet

We are very fortunate that we keep dodging bullets that size. Should be very interesting to figure out, eventually when one hits us directly, what potential damage it could cause or if there will always be more worry than actual harm.

We are even if its an X1.3 id be intresting to see the effects on earth i wonder if that one that knocked the telegraph lines down was an X a reply to: SonoftheSun

I believe the Carrington event in 1859 was an X19 solar flare...

I believe eventually hopefully in my lifetime it'd be cool to jump back to the stone ages...maybe society needs a reboot!!!a reply to: 02bmw76
