*NO IMPACT:*A CME

hit Earth's magnetic field on Aug. 1st may have missed. There is a hint 
ofa near miss 
<https://spaceweather.com/images2023/01aug23/nearmiss.jpg>in solar wind 
data around 1600 UT, but the ripple effect was feeble and did not cause 
a geomagnetic storm. The CME might still be en route. If so, its late 
arrival would spark at most aG1

*ACTIVE SUNSPOT:*Set your watch. 3 hours from now there should be 
another M-class solar flare. That's how often sunspot AR3380 has been 
exploding:

Extreme ultraviolet flashes from this sunspot have been ionizing the top 
of Earth's atmosphere, causing a series of shortwave radio blackouts 
around all longitudes of our planet. If this continues, ham radio 
operators may notice frequent loss of signal and other propagation 
effects at frequencies below 15 MHz.

The explosions have also hurled some faint CMEs into space. NOAA 
analysts are modeling them now to see if any will hit Earth. Stary 
tuned.*Solar flare alerts:*SMS Text <https://spaceweatheralerts.com/>
