Five M-Flares Pop Off Joined By Comet Panstarss C/2025R3

James Kaufman, World News Report today. Ladies and gentlemen, today has been a blast, literally a blast. After weeks of no activity on our star, we've had five M-class solar flares, and a couple of pretty strong ones. There are most definitely, most definitely, coronal mass ejections inbound to hit Earth very shortly. what you're seeing here is a one two punch sympathetic flare happening after another flare what you're seeing is a one six the first one over here the one six followed by a one two and they happen just as quick as it looks like they did here i'll show them to you on goes and they did create a coronal mass ejection together that is inbound but these aren't even close to the strongest m-class flares that we saw today just the beginning this is ar419 and this is ar420 and both of them are delta class currently ready to x flare at any moment head over to go's x-ray flux we're taking a look at exactly what occurred and believe it or not this is what you saw on the chronograph just now that was the two m flares those were the m 1.6 and the m 1.2 followed right behind that. Now, that was followed by an M4.3, followed by an M1.7, followed by an M4.9. All of them basically coming from those two sunspots that are generally earth-facing, especially 4220 that dumped most all of them on us. Let's take a look. All right, this is what we have, guys those first two flares right here one from 4419 the next one from 4420 sympathetic solar flare from 4420 you can see that both of them are red meaning they're both delta class most complex sunspot we know of you can see that 4420 turned from beta gamma to delta just today Okay, 4419 has been Delta class. Then we move up. We had a big pop come from 4419. It is moving around towards the exiting limb here on M4.3. Moving further up, 4419 again and M1.7. You can see all the activity coming from 4420, but the flares are not as large. And then that final flare, the M4419. So we'll see how much of that is inbound. It'll probably take them some time to model that. That model is not finished yet. We do have some, well, we can see the coronal ejection from the first two flares on LASCO. And we really have a treat here. We can see the halo eruption from the first two M flares. They weren't very strong, but are inbound towards Earth. And then we have Pen Stars 2025, R3, coming into the picture. It will become more visible. It's only half the distance to the sun. There's no chance of it burning up. It's going to fly right by between us and the sun over the next couple of days. What an interesting situation. I'm not quite sure if this is going to be visible during the day. They said it was going to be. I'll have to follow up on that. But it's getting close enough to the sun. It's going to brighten up quite a bit. Headed over to GOES, it's an ultraviolet imager. You can see that 4419 was much more earth-facing when it flared. And it's becoming, well, almost to the limb there. You can see it continue to flare there. And 4420 is this area here. We have tons of sunspots coming around that look very active. And we've got some coral holes that are trying to form as well. So we have all types of things going on on our star today. Okay, and over to our D-region absorption prediction center, you can see those M-flares as they hit one after another. We'll see quite a few of those on our D-region absorption prediction. I guess we'll only get to see the last two. Let's see, what about now? We should have more coming. Oh, there we go. Stronger flare there. We should have more coming. I might have hit a wrong button. all right let's see if we can catch those last couple here it looks like they're gonna come to us it doesn't look like it after all but we did get to see at least three inflators pop off and i guess the big one was over the atlantic the second one was basically over the atlantic and parts of South America. And the big one, as far as we're concerned, is another inflow over the Caribbean. Happened right there, right over the U.S. So we got to see four of the five inflows there. Pretty impressive. Alright, taking a look at HMI Intensigram. We've got our two Delta-class sunspot groups here. 4420 and 4419. 4419 will probably be out of play by tomorrow but we do have some more activity coming around the limb here and we had a total of only four sunspots earth facing the other two are simple 4421 and 4422 all right 4419 4420 4420 is a reverse polarity or could be argued to be a reverse polarity sunspot with black over white in the northern hemisphere. Well, this is clearly not reversed. This one's been giving us the most trouble. It was located right about here at the beginning of the day. So the earlier flares would be what we were worried about. So most of the bigger flares occurred later in the evening. We'll probably miss Earth, although the first two definitely created a coronal mass ejection. have already been modeled to hit Earth. And I will actually read NOAA's summary for you guys about the incoming CME. When we took a look at SOHO 284 Angstroms, probably the slide that allows us to see the most, you can see coming around the limb, we've got some serious players. And there are some holes trying to form here. After weeks of quiet, the sun awakened. The action began today with a double M1-class solar flare. It was a sympathetic flare caused by magnetic teleconnections between the two widely spaced sunspots 4419 and 4420. These sunspots have since produced additional M-class flares, including an M4 and M5 solar flare. The double flare launched a coronal mass ejection into space, so coronagraphs saw that and more. Comet PanSTARR C/2025 R3 has also entered LASCO-C3's field of view. The comet will be visible to SOHO for the next few days as it passes almost directly between Earth and the Sun. It could be a good show and we'll update our movie frequently. Meanwhile, Coronal Mass Ejection shown above is not squarely aimed at Earth, but it seems to be Earth-directed. A NASA model suggests it will deliver a glancing blow on April 26. This could spark a G1 to G2 class geomagnetic storm with auroras at high altitudes. With that said, God bless you guys. On the 26th, we could have a little geomagnetic storm. I think those big inflations might have missed us when we've got some real trouble coming around the limb as we speak.
