(Before It's News)

Active Region 1654 erupted with second M-class solar flare of the day. On January 11, 2013 at 15:07 UTC a moderate solar flare measuring M1.0 was recorded. This latest event started at 14:51, peaked at 15:07 and ended at 15:24 UTC.

Earlier today we had a moderate but impulsive M-class solar flare measuring M1.2. The flare erupted from same region (AR 1654) at 09:11 UTC.

Region 1654 is now classified with beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration and is becoming more geoeffective as it rotates into direct Earth view. This region is capable of producing strong solar flares and will pose a threat in the coming days.
