On June 7, 2013, a magnitude M5.9 x-ray flare erupted on the Sun. This video presents different wavelength views of the event. The moderately-strong solar flare was registered in the area of active region, NOAA AR 11762, on the southwestern limb. Any associated Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) related to this eruption is not directed toward the Earth, due to the proximity of the eruption blast site as the flare was not in a geo-effective region facing the Earth.

The light and radio energy reaches Earth in about eight minutes, and is mostly absorbed and blocked by the upper atmosphere. This affects the Ionosphere, such that shortwave radio radio waves are blocked. This blockage is known as a radio blackout, and it affects only the daylight side of the Earth. It does not affect VHF and higher frequencies, such as TV and cell phones. At the same time, this expulsion of solar material, solar plasma, is sometimes directed Earthward, and if so, takes about two days to make its way to the Earth. The arrival interacts with the Earth's magnetosphere and geomagnetic field. This may cause geomagnetic storms, which in turn may trigger aurora, and further degradation of shortwave radio propagation. In the worst case, the geomagnetic activity could cause power line and pipeline damage, but it takes a very large geomagnetic storm to cause that sort of damage. This event is not producing such a powerful event, and nearly all of the plasma released by this event is not directed toward the Earth. Special points go to those who spot the spelling error in the video. Sometimes, my fingers get away from me.
