Holy crap - an enormous X Class flare has occurred on our side of the sun. This could be big news. Watch out for intense auroras and possible power outages if a solar storm is confirmed.

Our power went out briefly yesterday. ๐Ÿค”

@colm_ryan Keep the good news coming. ๐Ÿซฃ
@MarkMaguire Incredibly no CME has materialised from any of the three huge solar flares. Weโ€™re not quite out of the woods yet though.

That X6.3 one was a beast. Iโ€™m beginning to think my long haul travel plans for the next few months might be a mistake.
@helvick @MarkMaguire Itโ€™s a very busy sun right now, but not worth changing your plans, surely!
