It looks like the sun is still active with two X-class flares. They are not direct hits so that is good news for us. They are also not the stronger X flare that would hit the electric grid if they were a direct hit. But it does tell us that the Sun is active.
Below is from http://www.ips.gov.au/
“Two X-class flares occurred on 10-Jun, both from the same region and within a short time of each other. The first produced a small CME and the second a larger faster one that swamped the first. Model runs differ in their predictions, but there is a chance that Earth will receive a glancing blow from the combined effects of these CMEs on 13-Jun, possibly resulting in active geomagnetic conditions at high latitudes. Until then, geomagnetic activity is expected to be quiet and HF communications conditions normal, though with short-wave fadeouts likely due to continuing moderate to high solar activity. ”
Also read what http://spaceweather.com/ has to say about these X- flares and the Sun spots. Space Weather is saying that there maybe more coming are way.

June 11, 2014 at 11:28 pm #16329Wow! We will see on Friday.
June 11, 2014 at 11:34 pm #16330Friday is the 13th which is kind of fitting for flirting with disaster.

It’s an easy 5 min daily vice with pretty pictures. But be careful, it’s a time sink.
