Another powerful solar flare has erupted from sunspot 4366, this time an X-4.2!

Solar flares are strong bursts of radiation that originate from very magnetically complex regions on the surface of the sun. They can produce in some cases large coronal mass ejections and if earth directed can interfere with earth orbiting satellites, GPS systems, communications systems and sensitive electronics.

We are waiting for more data to see if this event has an earth directed component.
