The below bulletin has just been received. Two X class flares took
place today with the potential for more as Active Region 2673
approaches the western solar limb. Observations and images are
requested. Please send to solar@britastro.org
It is likely that Coronal Mass Ejections accompanied today's two major
flare events and the possibility of aurora over he weekend is also
likely. Any aurora reports to sandra-b@hotmail.co.uk
"Solar activity is extreme. Region NOAA 12673 produced two X-class flares
since the last report: an X2.2 at 08:57 UT and an X9.3 at 11:53 UT today.
The region remains beta-gamma-delta class, with a large field gradient
and shear between the positive and negative delta spots.
It has also produced several M-class events.
Further X-class activity is likely.
The potential for very large flare events still exists.
NOAA 12673, S09 W40 (X= 607,Y=-239). Beta-gamma-delta region.
Position as of September 6, 2017 at 16:00 UT."
