EARTH-DIRECTED X-FLARE AND CME (UPDATED): Active sunspot 4274 exploded again today, Nov. 9th at 0735 UTC, producing an X1.8-class solar flare and a full halo CME. During the flare, shortwave radios in the Indian Ocean briefly stopped working due to atmospheric ionization. A NASA model predicts that the CME will reach Earth around UT midnight on Nov. 11-12. The impact could spark a G2-class geomagnetic storm.
