It's been a week of high-octane Solar activity all-round. And a Cosmic payload that had some serious stuff for this part of Space! This is related to what I described in my earlier post (here) about the locked-on grid. Details are still fuzzy and I don't have any further understanding or clarity about this yet, apart from what I had already written. But I'm pretty sure many felt this recent Cosmic payload ~ I'm assuming most of the following charts I'm posting here have some correlation to this.
On 3 May 02:22 UTC, we had a Solar Flare charting at X1-6 (main image above and image below):
