AR3842 has a delta-class magnetic field that harbors energy for even stronger X-class flares. Spaceweather | The Watchmen's Earth and Space connection | Facebook

10K views · 103 reactions | This solar flare from ex-AR 4274 launched a decent CME with it. Here is a brief movie showing 40 frames from the GOES-19 SUVI instrument. We now know that this active region still has juice for CME eruptions. Ex-AR 4274 is what gave us the great shows earlier in November, but it won't be in a better spot for Earth-directed activity for maybe a week... we'll see what happens. Hopefully, the AR can remain active. | Vincent Ledvina - 'The Aurora Guy' | Facebook
