Increased solar activity continues with multiple solar flares and geomagnetic storming

Galactic Free Press's picture

Increased solar activity continued today as two M and multiple mid-level C-class solar flares erupted from large 'beta-gamma-delta' classified Active Region 2192. This region is located in the southeast quadrant and is still rotating toward the center of the disk. 

An impulsive, moderately strong M3.9 solar flare was observed shortly after 09:00 UTC today. The event started at 09:00, peaked at 09:11 and ended at 09:20 UTC today.

The second M-class solar flare of the day started at 16:00, peaked at 16:37 as M4.5 and ended at 16:55 UTC. A 10 cm Radio Burst was associated with this event.

Region 2192 erupted with a major X1.1 solar flare yesterday and it continues to evolve as it rotates into geoeffective position. It remains capable of producing major eruptions on the Sun.
