@dabertime I feel ya. I slept TERRIBLY last night. My leg/hip was giving me issues, then I had a crazy stressful dream on top of that. So yeah, I'm just drifting through today lol.

On the bright side, the weather was absolutely gorgeous here (Phx, AZ) this morning! Like 68F. It's been a LONG summer, and it feels so nice to actually be cool :)

Sol is getting pretty peppery - second significant flare in as many days 🔆🔥

I'm thinking we're going to see an X class soon. And given that the region likely to produce it, AR3435, is Earth facing, could be geoaffective - especially if it lets loose with a nice accompanying CME.

On the "Sol is waking, front - I haven't done much solar event posting, but that is one of my major interests. So I guess it's about time I start!

A region on our star is starting to really come alive - unleashed an M4 flare yesterday, and I'm fairly certain this one, just below X-class, is from that same region.

Could be more auroras coming soon to a sky near you! 😁 ☀️
