I have only watched the EIT waves and that they reach the equator (where earth is). We will have to wait on LASCO though. I do think we will get some though.

oh jesus

last lasco pics are from 5h ago idk what youre looking at but its not this cme

Okay I realized now that by equator i mean the middle of the sun... but yea you all get what I mean. I'm eating pizza and my head is in two places (yes I'm a woman but I struggle to do two things at once sometimes haha)

...Man, resisting the urge to not check YouTube or any social media just got harder with this almost-X9 flare (and it'll be harder as the cycle continues). I mean, I put actually knowledgeable people in a list on Twitter, but still. 😓

Dear AR3664, Thank you for the grand farewell. And when you cross the other side, we'll be waiting for you here. Before you decide to end your wanderings, you are always welcome at our side.

For the record, this will be the 17th largest flare on record.

Is this going to hit us

What's the typical lifespan of those big delta regions ? Is it likely to see her again in 15 days or just a possibility ?

But apparently eit waves reaching Central of the sun and people say 2017 and 2003 were behind the limbs event too so im wondering, expert on twitter said maybe a shock arrival

Deltas can live for several weeks if they are strong but they usually decay and then new pops up if it's an active region. I really really hope it stays this awesome.

Actually it might, like the 2017 one but will most likely not result in any G1 or above storming but you never know.

When will this region return approximately?

this cme is not as wide as the aforementioned ones in my opinion

You are correct in that but the waves are still a bit promising. The parker spiral will help as well.

LASCO will be interesting. 

Then again none can be 100% sure so we just have to wait a few days to see.

These are the pictures I like

There seems to be a flare off the eastern limb as well.

Never mind, just got reminded of why I shouldn't go on there. People thinking these storms are cover-stories for political discourse.

Anyway, I saw the NOAA post about the CME not being earth-directed, so let's see if that holds water.
