Even though it is reported no major impacts to planet Earth expected due to this flare, I had intense solar feels for it, still incoming though easing up. ~Eve --A moderately strong solar flare in terms of peak X-Ray strength was just observed around AR 3098, now turning onto the west limb. The M7.9 flare peaked at 09:49 UTC (Sept 16) and does not appear to be very eruptive. Other than the brief radio blackout across the HF spectrum, no major impacts to our planet should be expected.

The M7.9 flare appears to have come from departing sunspot 3098. This infor will be archived later on spaceweather.com to September 16, 2022. --Departing sunspot AR3098 has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. Credit: SDO/HMI |

Looks to be almost an X class also...I don't know from which sunspot it came from yet. |

it is also from 3098, seems like the departing sunspots always pop biggies before they exit the earth facing side of the sun. No CMEs so far that I can see but it hit me broadside. Had to go lay down this am, fell fast asleep. I hardly ever do that! I don't know why they call an almost X flare "moderate"? To me anything close to X flares are major! The only graph showing any response from the flares is the "High Energy Protons" with that blip just after 16 UTC when the 1st flare occurred. |
