The largest flare was recorded on the Sun, but it will not have any impact on Earth as it occurred at the eastern end of the star, quite far from our planet. In this respect RIA News said scientists from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
“The flare is the first truly powerful outburst of the current solar cycle and can be described, without exaggeration, as an event of exceptional power,” the report said.
In terms of power, this is nearly double the previous record levels of the year. Flash was initially given a score of X5.0, while the first flash previously listed had a score of X2.8. A larger X8.2 flare was last recorded on September 10, 2017.
The astronomical event occurred on New Year’s Eve but will remain in world catalogs kept on universal (London) time until 2023.
“The impact of the flare on our planet is completely excluded because it occurred at the eastern end of the Sun, quite far from the Sun-Earth line. In the statement made by the laboratory, it was stated that reports about large and even record-breaking magnetic storms would be unreliable in this case.
A solar flare was reported on December 15 I broke the radio on two continents.
It was understood that there may be solar activity on November 28. reach the top already in 2024.
