Sunspot AR3500 blasted a M9.8-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured footage of the flare in multiple wavelengths. Views from the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory show an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME) generated by the blast. Credit: Space.com | NASA/ESA/SDO/SOHO | edited by Steve Spaleta
Why does the date stamp in the video say 2023-11-28?
Looking this up, I found a bunch of stuff from last year talking about it and only the yahoo source from the past couple days. I also found this:
https://earthsky.org/sun/sun-news-activity-solar-flare-cme-aurora-updates/
Which suggests no m9.8 flare recently
Though there has been a couple of stronger X-class flares. Late last month there was an X1.3.
