You can see the EM disturbance in the images, as the surface of the sun explodes towards us.

Incoming X-class Solar Flare due to arrive Saturday night, this will be a direct hit, so we will very likely get bright auroras! No need to worry, an X1 is not an X99 we aren't going to be burnt to a crisp. (At least I hope not.) Get your cameras and take pictures if you can!
