CME modeling suggests glancing blow to Earth from M4.4 flare produced by AR 4168
A moderately strong M4.4 solar flare erupted from Active Region 4168 at 15:53 UTC on August 5, 2025, producing a coronal mass ejection (CME). Initial modeling indicates most of the material was directed ahead of Earth’s orbit, with a glancing blow or shock arrival possible by late August 8.
