July 7: The most interesting event of the day was a long duration C5.6 event just west of region 9070. This was actually a large filament eruption near the central meridian and stretching from the solar equator until just northwest of region 9071. The event started at 08:42 and ended at 10:11 UTC. A large full halo CME was observed in LASCO C2 images starting from 10:26 UTC. Earth will receive an impact, probably on July 10, unsettled to major storming is likely.
