A major X-Class Solar Flare was just unleashed by Active Region 14274 at 10:04 UTC. Today’s X5.1 Solar Flare has sent out a strong Halo Coronal Mass Ejection that will be heading to the Earth in 48 hours. A radiation storm warning is now in effect. This event will likely prolong an already expected geomagnetic storm and could push it to the Severe (G4) threshold in the few days. Aurora will be visible mid to high latitude over the next 48 hours.
