Very Strong Solar Flare & Large CME September 2nd 2026!

James Kaufman, World News Report today. Ladies and gentlemen, we've just had a strong M-class solar flare. I believe it was much stronger than that and eclipsed by the incoming limb of our sun. Now, we're going to have to make a judgment together. They're not assigning it to a sunspot group yet. As you can see here, through our KP indexes, we've seen very little to no plasma or solar wind hitting earth from any of the indexes although we do see three hours of a geomagnetic disturbance on the college index everything else was very very quiet all right folks this is it and it's the strongest flare we've had in over 10 days uh it is an m 3.01 and it occurred right at, well, how about 21 UTC time, more like about 4 o'clock central time here in the U.S. Now, they really have not assigned it to a sunspot group. I think all the sunspot groups are now simple, although you see that one of them wasn't so simple, although nothing's been assigned to a sunspot group. I wonder if these are filament eruptions. These two were from yesterday we've had very little happen today and obviously there's nothing in or around 1920 utc time mentioned although they do cover the flare here 72 hour max and a 24 hour max chances of an x-class solar flare today were one percent chances of an m-class solar flare today were 15 percent and we only had a 60% chance of having a C-class solar flare, a very quiet star. All right, over to HMI Intensigram. We're looking at six simple sunspots that are Earth-facing our solar disk. Now, this could have been generated by 4524, but I don't think so. I think that this was actually backside or something that's just coming around the limb, and we'll take a look at the back side together. I just don't think it was from 4524, although it could have been. I'm going to show you all. We really had a sympathetic situation where two events occurred at one time. All right, here are two events. This right here, it's really not even a sunspot group. It's like a filament release of some sort. Saw it, but then on the limb over there is where the party happened. And we'll look at Glasgow because it might have been that named sunspot, but you would think that they would have assigned it. Very strong flare there. Looks much stronger than any M3.01 flare. Lucky for us, it is on the incoming limb, no matter, and it won't be geo-effective towards Earth. And that's a great thing, because it put out a really ugly coronal mass ejection, as you can see here. That would have been, well, too much for Earth shields. That's a very strong explosion, far stronger than an M3.01. Again, probably eclipsed partially or mostly by our limb before it hit our GOES satellite. So it's not registering as strong as it may have been. Now, we all know the best way to find out when that flare popped off really is to use our D-Region Absorption Prediction Center. It shows the X-rays that almost instantly hit Earth, even from 93 million miles away, just in a couple of seconds, impacted Earth. And you can see it's at 1920, 1930, pretty long-term situation, too. It started right around 1900, and it was intense over a good portion of the United States, all of Central America, and the Pacific. And here you see it's 20 UTC time, and still going an hour later, and it's still going here at 2015, and slowly dies off by about 2045. so about an hour and 45 minutes of x-rays pounding our planet all right this is what i think caused it to 005 here in blue remember these are a day and a half old so this would have probably moved and be just about earth facing and see how far it would have had to move and this is a 12 day total journey so a day and a half it was probably right about here and that's probably what we're dealing with this huge light blue sunspot group then we'll probably break up into three different sunspot groups if not more the only other thing we have on the back side is 008 so we've had two or three disappear on the back side with that said earth continues to move into position with the big gas giants about to be behind it. We have a geomagnetic connection to Saturn, to Neptune, to Eris, and we have the moon coming around, and we could have some trouble in or around September 10th or September 11th, like it's in 9-11. So let's look for earthquake and volcano uptick uptick and maybe even a solar uptick around those time periods and we'll see we now have a geomagnetic connection all the way to uranus nothing at venus yet it's really strange why doesn't it connect to venus i am not sure not seeing that occur but you're gonna uh soon be in between the gas giants and our sun and we're going to have an uptick in solar activity and we're going to have an uptick in earthquake and volcanic activity here on planet earth with that said i believe that uh the huge uh CME coronal mass ejection and solar flare that we just saw that was called out as a M3.0 1 was probably eclipsed by the incoming limb and probably more of a backside event. Y'all saw the CME, the coronal mass ejection. If that would have been headed towards Earth, we'd be in a, well, serious situation. That said, please make sure to give us a thumbs up on your way out. Please share if you can. And folks, God bless you all.
