Major X1.2 Solar Flare | Jan 6, 2023

A Major X-Class Solar Flare was unleashed off the solar corona from Active Region 13182 on January 6, 2023. Officially peaking to a X1.2 Impulsive Blast at 0:57 UTC ripping off the eastern limb of the solar corona this morning. This eruption took place on the limb and not while in an earth-facing position therefore no Coronal Mass Ejection will be headed to the earth and no geomagnetic disturbance will be expected from todays blast. As yet no Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is visible on the Soho Satellite but there will be something showing in the coming hours.
