X1.8 solar flare, severe geomagnetic storm watch

Wow. We are writing this news article with a heart filled with excitement. This night at 01:56 UTC we had a major solar flare which launched an equally as impressive coronal mass ejection into space. Earth-facing sunspot region 3848 produced a long duration X1.8 solar flare (R3-strong) which peaked at 01:56 UTC. This region is in a perfect earth-facing position and it became quickly clear that it was an eruptive solar flare.
