X3.8 Solar Flare from AR13664 - 10th May 2024

[Hughsie]

An early start and some blind luck saw me pointing the scope at AR13664 this morning. Below are two images (RGB and Greyscale) of this region at 07:00:22 UTC.

X3.8 commenced at 06:27 UTC, peaked at 06:54 UTC and downed tools at 07:06 UTC. I do have earlier captures and will update this post later with them.

Excellent images and details.

Nice one! I'd better finish up my gin in case we're all doomed. Would be a shame for it to go to waste.

We drank our rum stash during Covid and have just built it back up again. If you are certain we are doomed it would be rude not to try some liquid sunshine.
