(TheWeatherSpace.com) — Sunspot 1283 has shot off an M-Class solar flare, which is directed at Earth.
M-Class solar flares like this could cause a moderate effect on our radio and electrical grid systems but NOAA does not forecast a major geomagnetic storm with it.
The flare was from a sunspot group crossing the central disk of the Sun as we speak, Sunspot 1983. The sunspot group has a beta-gamma field which could produce M and X-Class solar flares.
Any large solar flares will be Earth directed in the next few days.
