MAJOR X-CLASS SOLAR FLARES !!
New Active Region 12087 turning the eastern limb just unleashed two powerful X-Class Solar Flares today. The first was registered at 11:42 UTC and peaked to X2.2 and the second blast at 12:52 UTC peaked to X1.5 was also responsible for a long duration event and therefore does have a strong Coronal Mass Ejection associated on latest imagery but will not be earth directed.
