There have been FOUR #SolarFlares in the X class over just 20 hours: https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/solar-cycle-25/2026/02/02/sun-releases-4-strong-solar-flares/. But the consequences for Earth will be practically zero: https://bsky.app/profile/vincentledvina.bsky.social/post/3mdv7xktvs22b and https://x.com/JAtanackov/status/2018334607653937177 - what a waste ... ;-)

The new #Kreutz #comet is now C/2026 A1 (MAPS): http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/iau/cbet/005600/CBET005658.txt and #perihelion is highly uncertain but there is hope as https://www.facebook.com/groups/227002358661288/posts/1670699484291561 and https://groups.io/g/comets-ml/topic/117373975#msg34667 explain. And if MAPS makes it to perihelion and is (very) bright then coronagraphs on the ground might be able to catch it against the inner corona as the following table - calculated with https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons/app.html#/ - shows.
