Strong Solar Flare Erupts From Sun - X3.3 Flare and a Halo CME Will Deliver a Glancing Blow To Our Planet On Oct. 26th
Watch the video here: @https://youtu.be/vRQDb_YgyJk Emerging sunspot AR3869 erupted this morning (Oct. 24th @ 0357 UTC), producing a slow X3.3-class solar flare. Of greater interest is the coronal mass ejection. The explosion launched a bright CME into space.
The bulk of this CME will miss Earth, but there is an Earth-directed component. According to a NASA model (below), the CME's flank will strike our planet on Oct 26th (around 0600 UTC). The glancing blow could cause a minor G1-class geomagnetic storm.
