Major X2.7 solar flare / CME on Tuesday evening at 22:11 UTC around sunspot 2339. The flare was associated with a Type II Radio emission with an estimated velocity of 1163 km/s, along with a short duration radio burst (TenFlare) measuring 590 solar flux units (SFU).

The coronal mass ejection (CME) generated by this event is directed to the northeast and away from our planet.
Future potential eruptions could have an Earth directed component as the source region moves into a better geoeffective position. http://www.solarham.net/

The explosion also hurled a CME into space: movie. Traveling faster than 1160 km/s (2.5 million mph), the expanding cloud does not appear to be heading for Earth.
