Long-duration M6 Class Flare
SPACEWEATHER.COM: JULY 19, 2023
A CME IS COMING: NOAA models confirm that a CME will graze Earth’s magnetic field on July 20th. It came from yesterday’s potent M6-class eruption in the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR3363. G1 to G2-class geomagnetic storms are likely with a slight chance of escalating to G3.
A SIGNIFICANT EXPLOSION ON THE SUN (UPDATED): We’ve been waiting for this. Big sunspot AR3363 just produced a significant solar flare, a long-duration m6 class event M6-class event during the early hours of July 18th. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the blast near the sun’s southwestern limb.
