M1 solar flare, G2 storm watch
Sunspot region 2936 produced an M1.1 solar flare which peaked at 23:32 UTC back on Saturday, 29 January. This large sunspot region was already producing numerous C-class solar flare at the time and developed a Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic layout. This resulted in a moderate M-class eruption which launched a coronal mass ejection into space. Sunspot region 2936 has quieted down significantly since this eruption and while it remains a large sunspot region, it only has a Beta magnetic layout making more significant flares unlikely.
