The Sun hit the Earth from the back side

Powerful explosions continue on the far side of the Sun. A new event occurred today around midnight Moscow time. Apparently, the source of the explosion was sunspot group 4436, which was located opposite Earth just 10 days ago and showed no significant "signs of life." This event remains to be determined, but at first glance, it appears that the latest plasma outburst managed to reach Earth even from the far side of the Sun. In any case, a radiation storm (of moderate strength) is currently occurring in the vicinity of the planet. Warning thresholds for high-energy proton fluxes have been reached. The onset of an increase in particle numbers roughly coincided with the moment of the explosion. As the particle fluxes moved toward Earth, they also passed through the solar coronagraph that captured the explosion: this is evident by the increasing number of bright dots and streaks in the image (the "snow effect"). To put it mildly, this is an atypical phenomenon that requires further investigation. One might assume that the explosion was synchronized with some other event on the visible side, but so far, no signs of such an event have been found. Apparently, the protons did indeed reach Earth after orbiting the Sun.

As previously noted, large spots from the far side have been emerging on the solar side facing Earth for two days now, but are still "silent." So, we're still watching.
