Region 3697 (old Region 3664) is at it again! A long-duration X1.45-flare and a nearly Earth-directed #solarstorm launch today. We may be grazed by the shockwave of this storm in a couple of days. Radio operators on the dayside are feeling this R3-level #Radioblackout for sure! pic.twitter.com/vNONHvktuZ

Today’s long duration #SolarFlare (which is still ongoing 3 hours in) produced a clear eruption! Due to the flare location, the eruption is not Earth-directed. Expect more data from this flare as it continues. #spaceweather #astronomy pic.twitter.com/6iBIdMAurj

After producing fewer X-class flares around the back of Sun, old active region AR 13664 is finally back with a bang - producing an X3-class #SolarFlare this morning! All solar observatories are watching for whatever this region does next. #spaceweather #astronomy pic.twitter.com/j9xOhHkULs
