X8.2 (R3-Strong) X-Ray Event Observed at 10/1606 UTC.
published: Wednesday, September 13, 2017 21:15 UTC

An X8.2 X-Ray flare (R3-Strong radio blackout) occurred on 10 September at 1606 UTC (12:06 ET). The source region was Region 2673, now located just around the visible disk. This R3 event produced a rapid increase in relativistic proton levels which are currently above the S3 (Strong) threshold. There was also an associated CME from this event. While a fast event, the CME was off the Sun-Earth line and is not expected to produce notable geoeffective impacts. Keep checking our SWPC webpage for the latest information and updates.
