Strong flare occurred on Sun
It fell 7% short of the most "powerful" X-class. The Sun surprised scientists at the Solar Astronomy Laboratory with an M9.3-level flare, seemingly foreshadowed by nothing. It became the strongest since April 24, 2026, when two X-class explosions occurred within 24 hours. Today's flare happened at 4:36 Moscow time and was directed straight toward Earth. Based on observations of the active region, specialists suggest that the next flare could be X-class or higher. If the fruits of this activity truly cannot pass by, Earth's inhabitants will once again have to experience the consequences of magnetic storms in the coming days.
