🌞 M4.5 Solar Flare Strikes East Limb 🌍 At 05:23 UTC a new sunspot rotating into view erupted with an M4.5 solar flare. The blast spiked X-rays and caused shortwave radio fadeouts on the sunlit side of Earth. Any plasma cloud should pass to the side due to the limb location. But this region is just now turning toward Earth and it is already active. Stronger flares are possible in the coming days. #SolarFlare #SpaceWeather #Sunspot #Aurora #AboveTheNormNews | Above The Norm News
