Holy Moly!

Still very active, 2 smaller spikes at the base of the larger eruption visible. This is stunning.

All I can see is thick grey clouds

The prom is like a fan but not full on and it's almost ruler straight. It's the LONGEST I've ever seen yet.

It's fading fast now but the area has erupted with 7 smaller spikes. I'm gutted I missed it erupting from the surface, it must have been very fast cos I wasn't away long.

No chance here. I hope somebody has captured it

[Solar_observer]

There's a image on gong now it's on the left but it's almost gone from that image. Can't believe how fast that erupted, and now it's almost gone.

Higher solar activity to come? Attached image below courtesy of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captures an impulsive M4.3 solar flare off the southeast limb peaking at 13:03 UTC Thursday morning. Based on the constant surging off the limb, additional flaring will be possible as the active region begins to turn into Earth view. Stay tuned.

Well I got a good glimpse visually but by the time my laptop cooperated it was gone.

Great pics, sorry I missed them

I was very lucky to catch this briefly in very small clear patches, saw the beginning and was amazed to see the full extent in such a short time before the next view. Probably even more surprised that it disappeared so suddenly. The area still looks very active with several more mini spikes.    

[Solar_observer]

I agree with u Peter about the speed it disappeared but also the speed it erupted. I saw 2 very thin proms extending out more or less the same distance. Went off to Wright my review and mins later my solar alert went off on my phone.

When I looked it was a solid mass of plasma (maybe matchstick thickness) but as it thinned out, many thin lines of plasma were visible and totally straight too. Stunning

What are you guys using to get alerts on your phone? Is there an app? I missed the whole thing

[Solar_observer]

It's for the iPhone Dave it's called "solar monitor", alerts you the instant something happens.
