M5.9 Solar Flare Observed A moderately strong M5.9 solar flare was surprisingly observed Sunday morning at 12:17 UTC around region 2151 located in the southeast quadrant near the east limb. The event was eruptive and a coronal mass ejection became visible soon after in the latest LASCO coronagraph imagery. Because of the location near the east limb, the plasma cloud is likely directed to the east and away from Earth. More updates to follow regarding any possible Earth directed component.
