We had to wait almost 3 months for another X-class solar flare but sunspot region 2158 did it! It was the source of a long duration X1.66 (R3-strong radio blackout) solar flare that peaked today at 17:45 UTC.
A lot of people come to SpaceWeatherLive to follow the Sun's activity or if there is aurora to be seen, but with more traffic comes higher server costs. Consider a donation if you enjoy SpaceWeatherLive so we can keep the website online!
