EARTH-DIRECTED X-FLARE AND CME: Earlier today, a rapidly developing and unstable sunspot exploded, producing an X1.6-class solar flare. The explosion hurled a CME into space, and forecast models suggest it has an Earth-directed component. The CME could spark minor to moderate geomagnetic storms when it arrives late on May 5th.
