X5 Solar Flare Underway - By Far Biggest This Cycle
Just got the alert and found this. Too early to evaluate anything with respect to CMEs, but eyes on.

X5.01, but who's counting?
Danka. The old sunspot AR3514 the caused the last X2.8 a couple weeks ago seems to have made its farside trip no worse for wear and is still spitting X flares (which it was doing on the farside also), but is now cresting the limb into view. Should be an interesting couple of weeks - Confucian interesting that is.
Looks like it'll be called AR3536 this trip. They haven't even finished describing it and it's the biggest player this 11 year cycle.

Can confirm; was there today digging.
We're just trying to catch up with Mother Nature and relearn what our species once knew. Birds know stuff.
26x 36 = 936
Helper Anons. Angels wearing flesh for the betterment of mankind. Suffering alongside and much more that others may live and more abundantly. Possessing only love and service, but giving both completely for the privilege of the best duty in creation.
Greatest generation.
Happy UTC New Year Anons!
The bestus for the restofus.
Buckle up!
That must've been something else. Here are the movies of the time it lit off on the incoming limb around 2133 or so. Very explosive, but only a small CME headed SW at high velocity. Away from us, but look at the shockwave from the flare eruption. Only takes two hours to make to the other side of the sun…so, roughly 1.4M mph. Crazy fast.
