That is good news - it doesn't look as pronounced now either.

The filament has already rotated to the point where, even if it does produce a CME, it will not be Earth directed.


That is if it doesn't last for another 25 - 27 days and point right at us again.

It could. Filaments have been known to persist for months.

Great photo's. The most recent SOHO images I have seen look like a spiral to me. Anybody else? Someone should start a thread on the spiral look of the filament if it holds up isn't some temporary flux.

It seems that it erupted creating a C2 class flare.
Not directed at Earth however.

Only a C2?

What a let down!

I guess that goes some way in answering the question on the first page that there isn't really a correlation with the size of the filament and the size of the flare it could produce.
Mind you it was still more than I expected.

Yeah I wasn't expecting much either.

Doomsdayers wrong again.

Nothing to worry about?! Can you say Hyder Flare?

Hyder flares are pretty cool.

But how are they any more dangerous than a large earth bound flare?

They last a long time compared to the burst of a solar flare.
