X1.8 Solar Flare


An impulsive, yet strong Solar Flare, just took place around Sunspot 1598. The latest event measured X1.8 and peaked at 03:17 UTC Tuesday morning. Impulsive solar flares do not usually produce large Coronal Mass Ejections, however I will provide updates as new information comes in. The image and movie below both captures the flare in progress.

UPDATE: It does not appear that this event produced a large Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). Future eruptions within the days ahead may provide a different outcome.
