Sunspot region 2192 continues to be very active today. It produced numerous M-class solar flares and even a major X-class solar flare: X2.07 (R3-strong radio blackout) at 14:47 UTC. This was already it's sixth X-class solar flare! However, as you might have guessed already... none of the solar flares (not even the X2 solar flare) were eruptive and it looks like none of them produced a coronal mass ejection. It's starting to look like sunspot region 2192 is going into the history books as the large sunspot group that couldn't deliver.
Current data suggests there is a slight possibility for aurora to appear at the following high latitude regions in the near future
Fairbanks, AKA 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!
