(Before It's News)

Good morning. Here is an updated look at the visible solar disk on Wednesday. Solar activity during the past 24 hours was moderate with a number of M-Flares detected around sunspot 2297. This includes an M2.9 at 00:02 UTC (March 11), an M1.8 at 07:18 UTC and an M2.6 at 07:57 UTC. Neither of these flares looks to have been eruptive, meaning a noteworthy coronal mass ejection (CME) is unlikely. The active region remains magnetically complex with a Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic configuration and may produce additional solar flares of the moderate to strong variety. A filament located in the northwest quadrant lifted off beginning at 06:30 UTC Wednesday morning and may have flung a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space. Updated coronagraph imagery is required to determine this and an update will be provided once available.

Picture

ALERT: Type II Radio Emission
Begin Time: 2015 Mar 11 1623 UTC
Estimated Velocity: 1461 km/s
Description: Type II emissions occur in association with eruptions on the sun and typically indicate a coronal mass ejection is associated with a flare event.

ALERT: Type IV Radio Emission
Begin Time: 2015 Mar 11 1638 UTC
Description: Type IV emissions occur in association with major eruptions on the sun and are typically associated with strong coronal mass ejections and solar radiation storms.
