A major solar active region continues to put out large expulsions of plasma and magnetic energy, and these impressive solar flares are getting set to face our planet, again.

Earlier this month, the most severe geomagnetic storm, of the past 20 years*, hit Earth, treating much of the Northern Hemisphere to a spectacular display, of aurora borealis, as early as this weekend.

There is the potential for a G2 solar storm, starting late Friday [May 31], or Saturday [June 1], as the sunspot moves towards the centre of the sun, facing planet Earth.

We are nearing the peak, of the 11-year solar cycle, and this peak is stronger than the last peak, 11 years ago, so it makes sense, that these solar storms, we are experiencing, have the potential to reach levels, we haven't seen in a couple decades

According to spaceweather.com, “AR13664" ejected a powerful solar storm, earlier this week [on May 27]. The class-X2.8 solar even was one of the most intense events, in recent years, and caused a huge CME to erupt on the side of the sun, facing away from Earth.
When these active solar regions return, with each rotation of the Sun, they're given a new active region number; so now, AR13664 has been renamed “AR13697".

* Earlier this month, solar active region AR 13664 produced (12) X-class solar flares, across six days, resulting in a G5 magnetic storm on Earth — the strongest, since 2003.
