BUT A BIG ONE IS HEADING FOR VENUS: Yesterday, Sept. 1st, something exploded behind the sun's southeastern limb. The source of the blast was not visible, but it hurled a magnificent CME into space:
The CME won't hit Earth. Instead, it is heading for Venus. A NASA model predicts it will strike on Sept. 3rd. This will be the third CME hitting Venus in as many days, each one eroding a thin layer of the planet's unprotected cloudtops.
As seen from Earth, the explosion that produced this CME registered category M5.5. It was probably much stronger. The blast site was eclipsed by the edge of the sun, so the true intensity may have been X-class.
