EARTH-DIRECTED SOLAR FLARE and Coronal Mass Ejection, CME Heading Our Way

EARTH-DIRECTED SOLAR FLARE AND CME (UPDATED): Sunspot AR2790 is more potent than it looks. Yesterday (Dec. 7th @ 1632 UT), the relatively small spot unleashed a C7-class solar flare and hurled a CME toward Earth. Extreme ultraviolet cameras onboard NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the explosion:

A pulse of X-rays from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a minor shortwave radio blackout over South America (map). Affected frequencies were mainly below 10 MHz. Ironically, the flare itself was a source of strong radio emissions. Ham radio operators may have heard a 'roar' of solar static during the blackout.

 

UPDATE: The explosion also hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. Coronagraph images from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) show a halo CME leaving the sun a few hours after the flare:

NOAA analysts have modeled the storm cloud; their results confirm that it will likely reach Earth during the second half of Dec. 9th. En route to our planet, the CME will scoop up some slower-moving material from an unrelated solar wind stream. The combined impact could spark geomagnetic storms as strong as category G3, although lesser G1- to G2-class storms are more likely.

Hopefully it won't knock out any power grids or make any major servers go down.
The sun is really fascinating.
I think at the very least, the people affected by the solar flares will likely experience radio interference, since, if I'm not mistaken, I think that's really common with solar flares.

I would like to think that this would not contribute to any major incidents. 

 

But to note of the aftereffects of it's happening is what I'm interested in.

It will be very interesting to see if the cause of the crash was an electrical instrument

or radio communication failure of some sort. :unsure:

That was my thinking. Avionics are very sensitive electronics.

 

Or mechanical malfunction on its own or a electronics cascading problem.

 

I would hope that the pilot was well trained to operate the plane.
