| The Sun Today |
Aaaaaand....as if to prove to us that our Sun has still been busy with activities that are not Earth-facing, we got not one but two X-class flares within a 24-hour period. This time facing Earth, but only just! X1.2 and X2.7. It's as if we were given a couple of Solar Winks 😄

SpaceWeatherLive notes the irony:
This is the first X-class event since March this year and it is very unexpected as there was only a 1% chance of X-class activity today!
Several CMEs were also produced during this time period but they are not Earth-facing, as per SpaceWeather:
SO FAR THE CMEs ARE MISSING EARTH: A
fusillade of strong explosions from sunspot 4087 hurled multiple CMEs
into space today. So far none of the CMEs appears to be heading for
Earth. We are just outside the sunspot's strike zone. This could change
in the days ahead as the active region turns to face our planet.
An example is this one:
