    Another crosspost from www.irishastronomy.org.
    http://solar.spacew.com/cme/ has more details.

    Hi there.

    Last night's X8 flare from region 486 has unleashed at least a partial-halo CME - it could arrive anywhere between 19 UT tonight to late-morning on Tuesday. While not up to the level of last week's disturbance, it should be a strong one. Region 488 has also unleashed flares - an X2 last night and an X3 this morning - but it looks like the CME from these is not Earth-directed.....

    Clear skies.
