Now following #XClassFlare

Yikes! I hope AR 3386 calms down before it becomes Earth-facing again (in about 2 weeks).

Another X-Flare!
August 7, 2023 @ 20:50 UTC

"Now located behind the west limb, AR 3386 just unleashed another X-Flare. The latest event was an X1.5 at 20:46 UTC (Aug 7). Due to the location behind the limb, it is possible that it could have been somewhat stronger than detected. Any associated CME will be directed away from Earth. More to follow whenever necessary."
