X-Class Solar Flare just erupted from the large northern sunspots.
It appears to be an impulsive flare, with an energetic blast of X-ray energy the size of the earth. pic.twitter.com/e4NtB3mEnj

Second one
X1.7

AR 3590 is putting on a show with another strong solar flare, this time an X1.7 event at 06:32 UTC (Feb 22). So far none of these events looks to have produced noteworthy eruptions. That could change as the region continues to move into an Earth facing position.

ANOTHER X FLARE: As predicted, AR3590 produced a second X flare. This time it was an X1.7 event peaking at 06:30 UT. It looks to be an exact repeat of the earlier flare. It would make it the 10th largest so far this cycle. More to come? Probably. SC25 seems to be taking off! pic.twitter.com/8kZbcSO7WE
