R3 (Strong) Flare Erupts from Region 3842 to Start October 2024
WEB1 day ago · This latest flare was observed by the GOES-16 satellite X-ray sensor (XRS) and peaked at 6:20pm EDT (2220 UTC). The flare was impulsive in nature but was associated with some USAF solar radio observatory reports that may indicate a possible coronal mass ejection (CME) could be associated with the flare.

Coronal Mass Ejections - NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction …
WEBCoronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun’s corona. They can eject billions of tons of coronal material and carry an embedded magnetic field (frozen in flux) that is stronger than the background solar wind interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) strength. CMEs travel outward from the Sun at ...
