SOLAR FILAMENT: The sun may be spotless today, but it certainly is not blank. A long dark magnetic filament is looping around the northeastern limb, stretching almost 100,000 km from end to end:

Long, bushy filaments like this have been known to grow unstable and erupt, producing a type of spotless flare called a "Hyder flare." If that happens now, Earth would likely feel some effects from the blast because the filament is turning to face our planet. Readers with solar telescopes are encouraged to monitor developments.

Space weather refers to the environmental conditions in space that are influenced by the sun, including solar wind, solar flares, and other disturbances that can affect Earth and its technological systems.
A Hyder Flare, also known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), is a large burst of solar wind and magnetic fields that are released from the sun's corona. These can cause disruptions in Earth's magnetic field and potentially impact our planet.
If a Hyder Flare is directed towards Earth, it can cause disturbances in our planet's magnetic field, leading to geomagnetic storms. These storms can disrupt satellite and radio communications, and in rare cases, even affect power grids on Earth.
Yes, there is always a possibility that a Hyder Flare will hit Earth. However, the severity of the impact depends on the strength and direction of the flare, as well as the Earth's magnetic field and other factors.
To prepare for a potential Hyder Flare impact, it is important to have emergency plans in place for potential disruptions in communication and power systems. It is also important to stay informed through space weather reports and alerts from organizations such as NASA and NOAA.
