Solar Storm/ Proton Storm/ Polar Cap Absorption Event February 24th 2025!

James Kaufman, World News Report, today, February 24th, 2025. God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world. Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. Ladies and gentlemen, we've had a couple of decent, three decent M flares, and all of a sudden, we had an M4 flare pop off that lasted over four hours in M territory. This is following the X2.03 from yesterday evening. We're all of a sudden in a proton absorption event and a solar storm, technically. This is more than hard to believe. I cannot determine where the M flare came from. I'm guessing it came from around the limb already, and most of it was probably eclipsed by the outgoing solar limb. This was probably closer to an X3, 4, 5, or 6 flare. Very strong. You can see the GOES proton flux shot right up in the space weather threshold. We're looking at about 15 million volts hitting Earth right now. 15 million volts. How does it make you feel? All right, over to spaceweatherlive.com. Coming in at an M3.94, almost an M4 flare. Lasted for over four hours in M territory. There's that X2.03 from yesterday evening. 25% of X-class solar flares. 65% of M-class solar flares. That ship has sailed. And ladies and gentlemen, I don't even think we need to put the C-class up there anymore. All right, NOAA, NASA, Space Weather Live, Space Weather. No one knows where the flare came from. I'm about to show you all a huge coronal mass ejection. It was ejected from this far limb over here. And I'm guessing, best guess scenario is 3996, as this picture was taken this morning. This is HMI intensogram. These are both Delta sunspot groups. I don't think they're responsible. If 3998 is responsible, they could be very much geo-effective towards Earth. It looks like we have about 10 sunspot groups Earth-facing currently. Now I'm guessing this is that explosion right here I'm about to show you last go and you can see there is an explosion there. We have coronal holes that are just about earth facing. I don't know what's wrong with GOES solar ultraviolet imager. It's been this way since it's gone back online three or four days ago. Lots of very active sunspots coming around the incoming limb. Believe it or not, ladies and gentlemen, this is a CME. Definitely an X flare here, definitely coming out of something on that far limb. Probably going to be effective towards Earth because of our geomagnetic connection to that far limb. This was a big one to make that proton shoot up over the space weather threshold so quickly. This was a big one, especially when it was around the limb here. All right, we know we're in a proton storm. And it looks like this is when we start to move in. Happened right before the hour. It's got to be that M4 flare. Not quite sure where it generated. Look at the radiation pouring in the south and north poles here. Look at the radio attenuation up there. Talking about a strong flare. Probably stronger than an X5 flare. To be this geo-effective towards Earth and not even be anywhere near Earth facing. It's impossible. That was a strong flare. So there you have it. A huge flare. We're in a, this is a solar storm as one, plus a polar absorption event. And this is so unexpected. It looks like we had a very large X flare just around the limb. God bless you and yours. It looks like the sun has woken back up. Please share, subscribe, and always remember, anything's possible. Bizarro world.
