A brief post to document the sixth X-flare for this month ~ an X1.4:

Laboratory of X-ray Astronomy of the Sun, Russia

 

The clip at the top shows the astounding masses of proton particles  that are literally swaddling our Planet (image below). SpaceWeather describes it as "....protons are raining down on Earth". (Also note Comet A3 Atlas making its approach around our Sun.)

Strong Solar storms are expected in the coming days, and possibly another round of Aurora Borealis displays.

Namarie! 💗
