A coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced by the flare, but its trajectory is not expected to be Earth-directed. The source region is currently located near the eastern limb, limiting geoeffective potential. This may change in the coming days as the region rotates further into an Earth-facing position.<\/p>\n

A 10cm Radio Burst (TenFlare), lasting 1 minute with a peak flux of 390 sfu, was recorded during the flare. This indicates a short-duration electromagnetic burst at the 10 cm wavelength, more than double the baseline radio background. Such bursts can produce significant radio noise, potentially affecting radar, GPS, and satellite communication systems, although the interference is typically short-lived.<\/p>\n

The same region produced an M5.4 solar flare at 03:25 UTC and an M1.2 at 07:45 UTC today.<\/p>\n
