If you find a mistake on Spaceweather.com, rest assured it was made by a real human being. ANOTHER STRONG X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: Hyperactive sunspot AR3663 erupted again today, producing a strong X4.5-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash: Radiation from the flare caused a deep shortwave blackout around the Indian Ocean. Mariners and ham radio operators may have noticed loss of signal at frequencies below 30 MHz for as much as an hour after the flare's peak (0635 UT). This marks the 4th X-flare since May 3rd (X1.6, X1.2, X1.2, X4.5), making AR3663 the most active sunspot of Solar Cycle 25 so far. AR3663 is flaring so often because it has an unstable 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field, in which opposite polarities are bumping together in explosive proximity. This sunspot may not be finished. NOAA forecasters estimate a 50% chance of more X-flares in the next 24 hours.

time I went to bed here in C Indonesia. Yeah could have already guessed that ss 3663 produced this flare. The radio black out has been noticed. Didn't have any proper propagation when the flare occured. Let's see if the solar wind from a coronal hole may wind up things a bit and bring Momma to dance. |
