The solar flare, which occurred on Wednesday, has become the largest in the last 12 years, according to a report by the Laboratory of X-ray Solar Astronomy at the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FIAN). The September 6th flash was awarded a score of X9.3 - the last outburst of such force was observed on September 7, 2005, TASS reported.
