🚀 As we wait for the next CME — and maybe more aurora action — here’s a look at what’s racing toward Earth! ⚡️ This eruption and CME blasted out with yesterday’s X5.2 flare, complete with a powerful shock and particles hitting the cameras. Fingers crossed 🤞 and skies clear! 🌌

🔥 Boom! Sunspot AR4274 just unleashed an X1.8 solar flare around 17:30 UTC — one of the most enormous bursts of energy the Sun can throw! 💥 Its magnetic field has become complex, and material has blasted into space. Could more be on the way? 🌞⚡️ Stay tuned bit.ly/sunactivity

🚨🌌 Aurora Alert!
Sun just hurled solar stuff our way 🌞💥 Arrival is expected late Sep 1 into Sep 2, could spark G2–G3 geomagnetic storms (chance of G4 😲).
✨ Auroras may light up skies much farther south, keep your eyes up & your cameras ready.
📸 Share your #aurora pics
