Active Region 4551 Fires an M1.7 Flare as the Coronal Hole Stream Nears Earth

The flare arrived at 09:03 UTC on October 19, delivering an R1 radio blackout. The region's delta signature has decayed, NOAA's X-class probability has eased to 5 percent, and the coronal hole stream remains on track for a G1 watch beginning October 20.

Active Region 4551: A Complex Sunspot Group Turns to Face Earth

NOAA's own models give the Earth-facing Beta-Gamma-Delta region a 10% chance of an X-class flare in the next 24 hours. A coronal hole high-speed stream now adds a G1 geomagnetic storm forecast for October 19-20.

Parker Solar Probe Traces How Alfvén Waves May Heat the Solar Corona

Near the Sun, magnetic waves do more than carry energy outward: they appear to shed it into the corona through turbulence, reflection, and abrupt reversals.
