SIGNIFICANT X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE:An explosive sunspot (AR3825) is turning toward Earth. Earlier today, it produced a very strong X4.5-class solar flare with a shortwave radio blackout over the Atlantic Ocean. A CME is now emerging from the blast site, and it might have an Earth-directed component. Updates @ Spaceweather.com.
