Double X-Class Solar Flares June 10, 2014

New Active Region 12087 turning the eastern limb just unleashed two powerful X-Class Solar Flares today. The first was registered at 11:42 UTC and peaked to X2.2 and the second blast at 12:52 UTC peaked to X1.5 was also responsible for a long duration event and therefore does have a strong Coronal Mass Ejection associated on latest imagery but will not be earth directed.

[Shyeena]

add up the numbers= 10.  Then add up the date x 2 solar flares = 10.  ten represents the perfect Male and Female combined. Or ONE.

Has anyone noticed if the surface of the sun shows dark then the explosion is light. If the surface is light then the explosion is dark? Why?
