En het is volgens mij niet zeker dat we er op aarde helemaal niets van ondervinden. Dergelijke grote uitbarstingen op de westflank hadden in het verleden wel eens een grote zijwaartse component.
September 7: While no LASCO images for the hours after the monster X flare in region 10808 are currently available, previous CMEs from this region (while on the backside of the sun) were all wide and fast. There is no reason to believe that this CME wasn't as fast and large. Even when considering that this was a limb event, a sideways impact on Earth is possible from late on September 8 until the afternoon on September 9.
