We have only just started to relax following the moderate G2 geomagnetic storm conditions from a massive coronal hole and suddenly... bam... our Sun surprises us all with a X1.1 solar flare (R3-strong) that came from sunspot region 4046 which is just rotating into view on the east limb.
A lot of people come to SpaceWeatherLive to follow the Sun's activity or if there is aurora to be seen, but with more traffic comes higher server costs. Consider a donation if you enjoy SpaceWeatherLive so we can keep the website online!
