Sept 7, 2011 ALERT Solar Flare

On Sept. 6th, active sunspot 1283 produced two major eruptions including an impulsive X2-class solar flare. The blasts hurled a pair of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) toward Earth, which could spark geomagnetic activity when they arrive on Sept. 8-10. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras in the nights ahead.

Geomagnetic activity like this has preceded some of the earthquakes we have been getting the last few years.
