Solar Flare X13 Options

[Guest_Sunspot_*]

SOLAR FLARE: At 1740 UT on Sept. 7th, Earth-orbiting satellites detected a major solar flare, X13-class or stronger, coming from the sun's eastern limb. The source of the explosion was probably returning sunspot 798, which sparked strong auroras in August.

By a huge coincidence only ~14 hours before, I had been looking at the loop that this flare came from with the new H-Alpha telescope our department has just bought!

Very cool!

Thanks for letting us know.
