M9.7 solar flare was a parting shot from AR 3697 and briefly saw us touch S3 levels. High energy particle fluxes also rose quite a bit. Asymmetric halo CME observed in coronagraphs with a possible clip at Earth midday June 11 UTC. G2 watch issued by Met Office. Stay tuned! pic.twitter.com/e80YPdGmaN

On the solar surface, the Sun’s magnetic field is about 20 Gauss, 2X stronger than Earth’s.
In active regions where flares erupt it reaches 100 Gauss.
Sunspots can be over 1000 Gauss! 🧲💪
But #DYK there are places on the Sun where there’s no magnetic field at all? ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/xQaUoPT0yb

A huge #solarstorm may give us a glancing blow! Early NASA model predictions show the recent storm launch during the M9.7-flare could graze Earth midday June 11. #Aurora may come fast and hard, but not last very long. Also, the ongoing #radiation storm has reached S3-levels now.… pic.twitter.com/z73nFxCGNU
