DEPARTING SUNSPOT EXPLODES, MISSES EARTH: Yesterday, Oct. 10th (2302 UT), an active region on the western edge of the sun exploded, producing a C2-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a plume of hot plasma flying out of the blast site:

The debris will not hit Earth. Shortly after the blast, SOHO coronagraphs detected a CME emerging from the blast site, but it was narrow and moving outside the Earth strike zone. Modeling by NOAA analysts has ruled out even a glancing blow.
