INCREASING SOLAR ACTIVITY: Departing sunspot AR2365 erupted on June 18th at 0130UT, producing a spectacular prominence on the sun’s western limb.
Then later on June 18th at 1736 UT, Earth-orbiting satellites detected an M3-class solar flare–the strongest flare in nearly 2 months.
Two big sunspots are facing Earth: AR2371 and AR2367 are growing rapidly with unstable ‘beta-gamma-delta’ and “beta-gamma” magnetic fields that harbor energy for strong flares.
NOAA forecasters estimate a 70% chance of M-class solar flares and a 15% chance of X-flares on June 18th.
