Huge X Flare And CME Today During Superior Conjunction! Space Weather Inbound!

James Kaufman, World News Report Today. Suspected X-class solar flare and coronal mass ejection pops off far side of sun during this superior conjunction. Earlier today, a magnificent halo coronal mass ejection rocketed away from the far side of our sun. NOAA's Core 1 coronagraph on GOES-19 recorded this more than impressive explosion. The solar flare that causes extremely large and fast-moving coronal mass ejection is expected to be a sizable X-class solar flare, but we have no confirmation of the strength thus far. we were actually able to catch this on our new core one coronagraph look at the size of that eruption what is that leaving the sun there and i've never figured out what this light is i'm trying to see this leaving the sun here there it goes right there i don't know what it is but and then that is a freak show but we were able to catch the huge backside coronal mass ejection it looks like a very large explosion according to nasa's model it was just constructed coronal mass ejection will hit venus and mars but not earth look how fast they have this cme moving that is incredible folks we're talking about well less than 24 hours it's past Mars definitely one of the fastest CMEs I've ever seen NASA model very strong and I guess we're very lucky that this happened on the far side during the simultaneous superior solar conjunction so the simultaneous conjunction did in fact activate our sun, but luckily it was on the non-Earth-facing side thus far. Of course, this explosion suggests there may be a very active sunspot group on the far side of the sun. Unfortunately, images from NASA's Perseverance rover, which we can see sunspots on the far side with, are temporarily unavailable because Mars is at a superior solar conjunction. The rover's radio signal cannot make it around the sun's atmosphere to Earth now I was able to go to STL and come up with these composites they're less than 40 hours old and you can see that there's a lot of sunspot activity on the back side of the sun and again these are about 40 hours old these composites so these sunspot groups have moved much closer to coming around and being Earth facing along with all these dangerous sunspots that we're about to go over here NASA pretending like we used the Mars rover to examine the back side of the sun is laughable that's not something that we're used to doing whatsoever let me show y'all something currently according to NASA's own information I mean we have BepiColombo almost exactly on the far side of the sun along with Parker Solar Probe look at this I mean they couldn't be any further on the back side of the sun and both have cameras and we have JUICE up here and we have the Psyche here but more importantly beppy and our parker sp are right here we should be able to examine any part of the back side of the sun we would like to just more crap now take a look at this CME they have hitting Earth tomorrow on the 9th right there that was it right there it almost forms as it hits earth and you can see it coming around hit earth right there as well on the 9th tomorrow or really later this evening as the 9th starts at 7 p.m central time on the 8th here in the u.s jumping over to HMI and intensigram to take a look at the sunspots that are earth facing It's like we have at least four sunspots ready to go around the far limb here, and really five count 4, 3, 3, 7. All five of those are simple sunspots. Although directly Earth-facing, we have a beta gamma sunspot, 4, 3, 3, 4, and a delta class sunspot, 4, 3, 3, 6. And I am more than surprised, more than surprised, that neither one of these complex sunspots has flared yet jumping over to SOHO turn a 4 angstroms although technically this was taken on the eighth UTC time it was taken at 8:06 last night central time here in the u.s so it's a little bit dated these sunspots have moved further around the limb here so very little to worry about here this sunspot is responsible for the two large C-class flares one of them looks like it's gonna actually hit us with a coronal mass ejection on the ninth along with the solar winds from this mass which could be uh more than a one day event and then of course we have the delta class sunspot here which i'm guessing is reverse polarity we will soon take a look all right so it looks like part of the sunspot is well reverse polarity that's going to be in the southern hemisphere it's going to be positive over negative we should always see black over white in the southern hemisphere and white over black in the northern hemisphere i don't know what's going to happen when the sun flips its polarity but that should be well in the near-term future but this is what makes it a delta class sunspot the reverse polarity and complexity of the sunspot although this sunspot is the one responsible for the CME that's inbound for either later this evening into tomorrow so taking a look at NOAA's Kp index forecast from january 8th 9th and 10th they pushed off the G1 geomagnetic storm it's supposed to be well a double or triple whammy a glancing blow or direct blow from the CMEs created by the stronger C flares along with the coronal hole high speed solar wind stream and this is going to happen i'll give y'all central time it's going to be tonight from 7 to 10 from 10 to 1 from 1 to 4 and then from 4 to 7 so from 1 to 7 we could be in a G1 geomagnetic storm which means nobody gets any sleep and real quickly just because we're having an event currently i want to show you the two C flares a C excuse me a five plus C flare kind of a double whammy here and a C seven get it on top 7.5 here these are the two C flares that lifted light coronal mass ejections NASA has one of them making a direct hit for tomorrow along with the solar winds or the coronal hole high speed stream CHSR and it looks like we're in the middle of an event right here now with that said we'll take a quick look and see if we can see that event and but we'll move on and i do believe we have identified the two C flares, stronger C flares for the day you'll see the first one pop off here and i'll show them this is GOES solar ultraviolet imager there's the first one that popped off today and you'll see the second one just at the end of the feed start to pop off and that's the one we're experiencing currently and that's going to be happening at the very end of the feed right about there so there you go folks we got to see these two C flares pop off today and i'll show you real quickly uh well how strong they were definitely earth-facing i'm not quite sure if they lifted off well insignificant coronal mass ejections or not but we'd only be staring down a G1 geomagnetic storm if they have. So this is self-explanatory if you think about it. That C7.42 or 7.5 is the second flare that's inbound for later this evening or tomorrow. Today's biggest flare, the one that's occurring right now, is a C5.64. You won't see it here, although it will be assigned to sunspot 4334 the beta gamma sunspot and not 4336 the delta class sunspot here is the first explosion here the C 4.4 this being the second explosion of the day the C 5.66 both generated by AR 4334 directly earth facing unbelievable that AR 4336 has been so quiet we have a 10 percent chance of having an X-class solar flare a 45% chance of having an M-class solar flare and we have not had one and we're running a C baseline still that said god bless you guys please give us a thumbs up it's really important please share if you can really important please subscribe if you haven't and always remember anything's possible in bizarro world god bless you all
