EARTH-DIRECTED SOLAR ACTIVITY: On Sept. 5th, a C9-class solar flare from sunspot 4524 hurled a CME into space. A NASA model suggests it will hit Earth on Sept. 8th. The impact could spark a G1-class geomagnetic storm with high latitude auroras. 

NOTE: The Coronagraph on NOAA offers an animated image showing flares on the western limb and far-side, dispersing over a wide area. The flare from Sunspot 4524 beams a steady stream of light. This may suggest a more powerful project and longer duration.  The “grainy noise” in the image is a radiation storm.
