Guest lingduxingxi Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Max 25/0027 X1.3 CME point to Earth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanneyt Sander Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 It's region 12035, NOAA made a little mistake ;-) Not Earth directed, EPAM did not react, looking at first LASCO images CME is pointing away from us and thus not Earth directed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel de Bont Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Sunspot region 2035 was the source of a major X1.3 solar flare (R3-strong) as it rotates away from Earth. The flare occurred today at 00:27 UTC near the west limb (S14W90) Region 2035 is not in a favorable location for a coronal mass ejection (CME) to hit Earth. The first LASCO images show a CME that is directed away from Earth but we will run an additional analyses as more data comes in. cd4c5cc024f111a60f1b1782ade9ad7d LASCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel de Bont Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Now on our YouTube channel a video of the X1.3 flare which occurred today at 00:27 UTC. We take a look at the solar flare as seen by SDO and we see the CME thanks to imagery from SOHO/LASCO. Additional analyses of the available coronagraph imagery confirms that the Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from this flare is not Earth-directed.
