wham !

deceiving spot AR4419, close to leave the sun face, is the champion of the day with the emission of four M-class flares; bigger AR4419 emited another one, both spots gained a delta magnetic component with the possibilty of bigger things, and they did it: one of them (which one not defined at the moment of this writing) emited an X2.5 flare at 01:00 UTC april the 24th! don´t remember when was the last time of this violent flares, looks very promising !
