Impulsive class M1.0 flare Earthbound HD



Best viewed with screen expanded.
A moderate solar flare reaching M1.0 was observed around Sunspot 1726 at 10:29 UTC this morning. The blast itself was impulsive in nature and a large Coronal Mass Ejection is not expected. This region maintains a fairly impressive magnetic structure, especially within the trailing spot cluster and has the potential for an even stronger event.

Also watch the froth of the magnetized, radioactive sea sunspot AR11726 bubble
