6(six) coronal mass ejections and 3(three) X-class flares
occurred. Each still image below from SOHO shows the approximate
eruption time of the CME. An S-2 Solar Radiation Storm is
currently hitting the earth. The Solar wind could effect
the Earth in two or three days causing geomagnetic disturbances.

effects on HF propagation through the polar regions and
navigation at polar cap locations possibly affected.
NASA
warns that solar disruptions like those of 1989 may soon
return as the sun approaches another ''solar maximum". Every
11 years the sun undergoes a period of activity called the
"solar maximum", followed by a period of quiet called the
"solar minimum". During the solar maximum there are many
sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections, all
of which can affect communications and weather here on Earth.
