X1.5 solar flare

X1.5 solar flare

Surprise! An X1.5 solar flare (R3-strong) peaked today at 03:19 UTC. Soruce of the solar eruption was Active Region 4405 (Beta-Gamma) in the Sun's southeast quadrant. 

A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was launched during this solar flare with the bulk of the ejection heading south-east of us as we can see on this animation from SOHO/LASCO below. We do however see a clear asymmetrical full halo outline which gives us a high confidence that we should see at least a glancing blow from this event at our planet, likely late (UTC evening) tomorrow, Tuesday 31 March.

SOHO/LASCO coronagraph imagery shows the X1.5 coronal mass ejection (CME).

This should cause enhanced geomagnetic conditions at Earth and likely minor (G1) to moderate (G2) storm conditions following the impact. Do note that the CME passage will be followed up by a coronal hole solar wind stream from a coronal hole which should face us tomorrow so April could start of with some stormy space weather at Earth.
