It has been 53 long days but we have finaly seen another X-class solar flare coming from the Sun today. Sunspot region 3947 produced an X1.8 solar flare on 4th of January and since that day... silence... but today departing sunspot region 4001 produced an X2.0 solar flare.
A 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!
