What’s it all about, Alfie?

"Moderate Flare Detected"

"A slow eruption peaking at M4.0 in the vicinity of regions 1943 and 1944 was detected on Saturday afternoon. The event was associated with a 10cm Radio Burst (TenFlare) measuring 550 sfu and lasting 28 minutes, along with a Type IV sweep frequency event. More updates to follow regarding any possible coronal mass ejection (CME).

"CME Update: Although hard to tell in this STEREO Behind COR2 image, a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is visible following the M4 eruption on Saturday afternoon. A majority of the cloud looks to be headed south, however there may be an Earth directed component. More updates once Earth facing LASCO coronagraph imagery becomes available."

(“Earth directed component.” Got that part.)

Ace of spades says: “Keep an eye on the sun. Big ass sunspot 1944 is rotating into geoeffective position for Earth directed CME's.”

(I think maybe Ace is showing off. I don’t know jack about that sort of thing. There is a sun and now and then it does stuff and sometimes the stuff has a big effect on communications and weather on Earth, sometimes not so much.)
