X-FLARE: Emerging sunspot AR2339 unleashed an intense X2-class solar flare on
May 5th at approximately 22:11 UT.  Radiation from the flare caused strong
radio blackouts on the Pacific side of Earth, interfering with communications
at frequencies below ~20 MHz.  The blast also hurled a CME into space, but not
toward Earth. This event could herald a sustained period of high solar
activity, as AR2339 appears to be large and explosive. Check htt
