Summary
An X1.9 solar flare erupted from the Sun on 1 December. The associated coronal mass ejection will not strike the Earth.
Details
On 1 December, a powerful solar flare classified as X1.9 originated from the Sun. This event was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME). Despite the intensity of the flare, the CME is not expected to impact Earth, minimizing potential effects on our planet.
Implications
The flare led to a brief radio blackout, but no lasting geomagnetic disturbance on Earth is anticipated due to the CME's trajectory away from the planet.
