This Solar Max Cycle — Number 25 of the modern era (really since we have been closely observing them, with telescopes) — has been particularly active.

This flare erupted at an oblique angle relative to Earth, so we are unlikely to see much cell-traffic disruption or aurorae, from it. We shall see — but if it is to arrive, it will be sometime tonight, US time:

…NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare — seen as the bright flash — on Nov. 30, 2025.

This flare is classified as an X1.9 flare. X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about its strength….

The image shows a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares and which is colorized in orange and yellow….

Now you know… “she rises, in the night, like a red hot coal — with a moan, through the trees….” Actually — that would be/is Mars. Grin.
