Sun unleashes X-class flare from volatile sunspot
Posted on October 24, 2012
October 24, 2012 – SPACE – New
sunspot AR1598 has erupted again. On Oct. 23rd at 0322 UT, Earth
orbiting satellites detected a strong X1-class solar flare. NASA’s Solar
Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash: Radiation
from the flare created waves of ionization in the upper atmosphere over
Asia and Australia (the daylit side of Earth) and possibly HF radio
blackouts at high latitudes. The blast did not, however, produce a
significant coronal mass ejection (CME). No auroras are expected to
result from this event. This is the 4th significant flare from AR1598
since it emerged over the southeastern limb only three days ago. This
means more flares are probably in the offing, and they will become
increasingly Earth-directed as the sunspot turns toward our planet in
the days ahead. –Space Weather
