SOMETHING FLARE-Y THIS WAY COMES: A sunspot located behind the sun’s southeastern limb erupted on Feb. 16th (0435 UTC), producing an M2.5-class solar flare. Almost certainly, the flare was stronger than its nominal classification because it was partially eclipsed by the edge of the sun. This beautiful blast may herald the appearance of a new geoeffective active region later this week.
