A strong solar flare measuring M9.0 erupted at 23:07 UTC on February 10, 2024, from geoeffective Active Region 3576. The event started at 22:56 and ended at 23:14 UTC. An Earth-directed CME is likely.<\/strong><\/p>\n The event was associated with a Type II Radio Emission with an estimated velocity of 2 170 km\/s. Type II emissions occur in association with eruptions on the Sun and typically indicate a coronal mass ejection (CME) is associated with a flare event. A Type IV Radio Emission was detected at 23:05 UTC. Type IV emissions occur in association with major eruptions on the sun and are typically associated with strong coronal mass ejections and solar radiation storms.<\/p>\n A 10cm Radio Burst (Tenflare) lasting 5 minutes and with a peak flux of 360 sfu was also associated with the flare event. A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.<\/p>\n![\"YouTube](\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/QgrxHrzG7-Q\/hqdefault.jpg\")
