C1.3 Flare and Eruption (3/8/2019)

Good morning. Region 2734, the lone spotted region on the visible disk, managed to produce a minor C1.3 flare peaking at 03:19 UTC (March 8). Although not a noteworthy event as far as peak X-Ray strength, the flare was associated with an eruption and what appears to be a faint coronal mass ejection (CME). A Type II Radio Emission with an estimated velocity of 683 km/s was detected. Although much of the plasma was likely reabsorbed, some did manage to escape the sun when viewing coronagraph imagery courtesy
