The active region from which the impressive eruption on Feb 15 originated is approaching the eastern limb of the Sun as seen by STEREO-A (~34° east of Earth) ☀️ This region is supposed to be ✨huge✨ according to estimates! It will appear on the Earth-facing disc in ~3 days.

The Sun woke up and chose violence 🔥 A massive filament eruption was just observed by the SUVI camera onboard GOES-16 ☀️ Whilst this is a spectacular event to observe and/or study, given its location behind the eastern limb there are going to be absolutely no effects on Earth 😉

Pro Tip: If you are using some active antenna distribution system to feed your radios, make sure it is properly grounded. I have just witnessed a system where the stray currents are so strong the USB signaling no longer works and the front-end gets fried in a second. #SDR

The solar flux index is up on Monday and stands at 123. This is another new high for the young Solar Cycle 25. New spot growth is being observed around both AR 2907 and 2908 today and this could contribute to the chances for additional solar flares above the C1.0 threshold.

G2 storm, that is, Kp=6. We are still in the sheath region. The storm may intensify, depending on the magnetic field direction in the interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) that should follow.
