Second largest solar flare of this Solar cycle: X3.4
Today sunspot 3575 produced an X3.4 class solar flare – the second largest of the solar cycle! And associated coronal mass ejection was also produced, firing to the west. I do not know if it will be earth directed at this point. Solar demon data shows a beautiful associated Solar tsunami rippling across the face of the sun due to the power CME full blast, too. The solar flare ionized our upper atmosphere causing in R3 radio blackout over the Atlantic ocean and we are currently experiencing a S2 solar proton event (at the time I recorded this video it was just at S1 levels). On another note an even larger sunspot that is earth direct (3576) currently has a 10% chance for X class flare so we may see another one this week!
