Yet Another X-Class Event and CME |
May 8, 2024 @ 22:20 UTC (UPDATED) |
And the X-Flares just keep on coming. Big active sunspot region 3664 flared again, this time with a double peak of X1.0 and M9.8. The initial peak was at 21:40 UTC (May 8, 2024). A further update will be provided regarding a possible CME with this latest event. Additional flaring is likely as the region remains magnetically complex. Third Halo CME: Updated coronagraph imagery following the latest flare event around AR 3664 this evening is showing yet another halo coronal mass ejection (CME). This makes at least 3 plasma clouds that appear to be Earth directed. The latest NOAA/SWPC update shows that the first and second CMEs from earlier on Wednesday are expected to combine into one impact on May 10th. This third event may pass Earth as a separate later impact. Perhaps some great news for aurora sky watchers this weekend! Click HERE for video. Space Weather by SolarHam
