As mentioned in the previous post about Space Weather, Sunspot 1166 has emitted an X1.5 class flare. The flare emission began at around 2313 UTC ( 9th March 2011) reached a peak at 2323 UTC and ended at 2329UTC.
It was so powerful that it sent an ionization wave towards the earth which caused a Radio Blackout reaching a maximum level of R3 !
Sunspot 1166 continues to have a Beta Gamma Delta magnetic field and open magnetic field which might trigger some more X ray flares
On Feb 15 2011, Sunspot 1158 has released an X2.2 Solar Flare
NEXT POST-
In my next post, I shall compare the structures of Sunspot 1158 and 1166 which produced X class flares on 15th Feb and 9th March respectively.
