Sunspot region 2192 continues to be very active today. It produced numerous M-class solar flares and even a major X-class solar flare: X2.07 (R3-strong radio blackout) at 14:47 UTC. This was already it's sixth X-class solar flare! However, as you might have guessed already... none of the solar flares (not even the X2 solar flare) were eruptive and it looks like none of them produced a coronal mass ejection. It's starting to look like sunspot region 2192 is going into the history books as the large sunspot group that couldn't deliver.
