Solar radiation storm warning issued and canceled after M5.8 solar flare, major X1.1 flare erupts at 20:50 UTC
A series of intense solar flares, including an X-class event, has triggered radio blackouts and sparked warnings of a significant geomagnetic storm.
Answered
What were the primary solar events reported?
The events included an X-class solar flare, an M5.8 flare, and a major X1.1 flare, alongside 17 total flares recorded in a 24-hour period.
What impact have the flares had on Earth so far?
The X-class flare caused radio blackouts across North America. A G3-class geomagnetic storm has been anticipated.
Was the solar radiation storm warning still active?
No, the solar radiation storm warning was issued and later canceled following the M5.8 flare.
Where it stands
Solar activity has intensified, marked by a powerful X-class solar flare that caused radio blackouts across North America. Reports indicate a high volume of flare activity, totaling 17 events within a 24-hour period.
Additionally, a solar radiation storm warning was issued and subsequently canceled following an M5.8 flare and a major X1.1 eruption. Coverage from outlets including NASA Science, Space, Yahoo, and The Watchers highlights the correlation between these solar events and incoming coronal mass ejections.
Future updates will monitor the trajectory of the Earth-bound coronal mass ejection. Coverage does not yet specify the full scope of terrestrial impact or the duration of the anticipated geomagnetic disturbances.
