Below you will find the most recently available image from NASA's Solar
Dynamics Observatory (SDO) which shows us the Sun in the 131 Ångström
wavelength. This wavelength is best used to observe solar flares. A
solar flare will show up as a very distinct bright white flash on this
image. A strong solar flare that takes place around a reasonable
earth-facing sunspot region could potentially release a cloud of solar
plasma (coronal mass ejection) that will produce aurora here at Earth
later on. Finally you will
find a 24-hour solar flare plot using data from GOES-15.
The above plot is similar to the X-Ray Flux post earlier today. It shows that the X-Ray spikes often represent Flares from the Sun.
