| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] An active solar region, whose flares could impact Earth next week, has fully emerged onto the visible side of the Sun. This was reported on Saturday, November 1, by the press service of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences. "Active region 4246, which single-handedly generated a nearly 10-fold increase in activity in mid-October and subsequently produced several high-magnitude X-ray flares on the far side of the Sun, is returning to Earth two weeks later," the laboratory's website states. According to scientists, matter and energy ejected from this active center could begin to reach Earth next week. Earlier, on October 30, a weak G1 magnetic storm was observed on our planet. This occurred after Earth entered the zone of influence of a coronal hole on the Sun. Prior to this, on October 26, scientists at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences predicted an increase in solar activity over the coming days. Before this, on October 18, the Earth was hit by the third magnetic storm of the month. |
