> Hello people... Sorry if some of you receive twice, but I have chosen to
send this to my general astronomy list as well as the aurora list... I have
good reason.

> This is the biggest X-class flare I have ever seen!!!

> At 1105 UTC an X-17.2 solar flare erupted from active region 486. The
region producing this flare is almost on the solar meridian meaning we are
likely to be in the direct line of fire.

> This could be the BIG ONE!! If this flare acts the way we are thinking it
will, then we will be in for a superb auroral display in the coming 36
hours...

> At present, solar conditions are these: velocity is 835 km/sec. Density is
1.7. Bt is 11.2 and the Bz is + 2.2. The predicted Kp index for the next
hour is 4+.
> Solar activity is still high, and further eruptions are expected to
continue over the next 72 hours.
