MAJOR X-FLARE !!
A major X-Class solar flare peaking to X1.2 was reported at 18:30 UTC Tuesday. Active Region 11944 unleashed its second eruption in 12 hours beginning with a M7.2 at 10:13 UTC. The eruption occurred while in an earth-facing position which means the resulting Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) will have a strong earth directed component. Impact on earths magnetic field is expected in the early morning hours of January 10 where strong Geomagnetic storms will be possible. 
Proton levels are rising again due to the latest eruption and are expected to hit (S2) threshold associated with this event was a 10cm radio burst lasting 50 minutes and reaching 8300 solar flux units.

MAJOR M9 CLASS SOLAR FLARE !!
A major M9.9 Solar Flare was reported at 18:52 UTC yesterday around active region 11936. The eruption occurred while the active region was in an earth facing position which suggests the resulting Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) will have an earth directed component. Solar imagery from both M6.4 and M9.9 flares show faint coronal mass ejections but as yet no update from space agencies. Information will be updated once further solar imagery has been made available.
Eastern limb has a very complex active region turning the disk 11944, this region looks to have a configuration and complexity that could produce large flares for the coming week.
