Old Region 3514 (newly numbered 3536) fires off an X4.98-flare and launches a super solar storm that will likely give Earth a glancing blow sometime on January 2-3. Aurora photographers may get some aurora from this side-swiping storm, especially at high latitudes where shows are already occurring due to the effect of the fast solar wind stream hitting Earth now. The storm isn't expected to cause a huge or lasting disruption, but it could boost aurora views even down at mid-latitudes for a short bit. Amateur radio operators and GPS users should expect signal disruptions on Earth's dayside due to periodic radio blackouts over much of this week as Region 3536 and others in this active region cluster continue to rotate into view. Watch the big X-class flare and it's impacts at earth, learn the details of the coming solar storm, and see what else our Sun has in store.
