Does it look like It's blasting northeast rather or am I a little discombubulated from having just woken up🙃

Edit: Actually looks like It's blasting in all directions

Maybe there is more going north visually, but I would also say that it goes in all directions. That includes Earth.

Just checked imagery again and I can see movement going in all directions, and some dimming also moving across disc centre. I would not rule out Earth-directed component, altough it looks like the bulk will be heading more North-East

Thank you Meteo, i see it similar

yes of course, i did not tried to say that. sorry, im bad at explaining and quite tired 🤕 i meant, if it will be a "head on bulk hit" or more like a glancing blow of some kind or fainter halo hit with bulk going somewhere else.

on a side note, @Jay-B is receiving community points like crazy because of this thread  ching ching, jackpot

Really, i must be blind. i dont see the eastern movement. argh

but due to the location it will not be head on right?

Looking at 195A and 284A it seems that way to me, although I have to say that I don't have much experience with this and I could very well be wrong.

Easy-going. I just contributed with my opinion. The real experts here are different from me, and it is usually worth taking their opinion into account. I'm glad I can learn here. There's a lot to learn.

I like that we're all not experts. Its always nice to talk about it and learn, like you said @Wolf star. 

Definently earth-directed components once more but densest towards W.

Ps. There was activity on the NE corner before the eruption so the eruption looks more centered than it actually is in this image.

Good Morning Tino and thank you for the update. Just paraphrasing to understand, so its a halo/earth directed component with the most misisng or not? 

ps: Finally out of reaction jail! woohoo!

do you mean west in this case? Im confusion.

Ah crap sorry i fixed, the solar directions still get me pants down especially in the morning 😁

Reaction jail should give us a break in peaks of activity like this 🤪

Dont be sorry!   I know that feeling very well. I dont see acitivty to the Northeast before the flare, can you specify which you meant? (Since you said it makes it look more centered).

Im gonna grab another hour of sleep.

I think the shock reaction of that stream slightly fools the diff image. But like said definently partial halo still but mostly westward.

I have a question. does someone know which part of the region created the flare? I cant see it properly. @Sam Warfel once shared an SDO Wavelength thats good for seeing that, but i forgot. im interested if it was a "specific" delta, or all of them.

You're probably thinking of AIA 1700/1600. Both show sunspots along with flares, 1600 includes more of the chromosphere so flares will appear brighter there.

Thanks  I will take a look.  here, take this as a sign of my gratitude, since i have to save some reactions : 🍕

appreciate it lol. I'll be saving it for when I (hopefully ) see the aurora for the first time tomorrow!

Huh, interesting. I thought such a big flare would erupt from the bigger deltas.

With a large complex & compact region like this, anything can start a flare

I know. Has it changed since the flare? I really dont know where its taking all its power from. I compared imagery from a yesterday when i went to bed and now and THOUGHT it *slightly* simplified and lost some compactness/spots but guess not.

This Solar pimple is the most complex we’ve Seen in years. And the amount of Flares is extraordinary. 
But… What do you Guys think About the possibility of a Mega flare >X5?

No, It's actually growing in that northern part, I expect more  😎

NE or NW? Im in bed again, thats why i lazily ask instead of going through 10 steps. 💀

That halo is looking pretty good now imo

Solarham said the bulk goes West but still some earth directed component

Ah! When did it start its growth? I gotta be honest, i have not watched this part of the region as thoroughly as the others.
