[Regnum] A high-class X-ray flare was detected on the Sun on November 4. This was reported by the press service of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
"The event magnitude is X1.8... The area is located at an angle of approximately 55-60 degrees from the direction of Earth. Generally, this distance is considered relatively safe, but large flares sometimes emit emissions at angles of up to 90 degrees," the laboratory clarified on its Telegram channel.
The flare was observed for the first time after a nearly five-month hiatus. Previously, a high-level event (X1.9) was recorded on June 19. The flare lasted from 8:15 PM Moscow time to 8:51 PM Moscow time. The emission peaked at 8:34 PM Moscow time. The event was accompanied by a rapid ejection of plasma into interplanetary space.
On the afternoon of November 3, the most powerful solar flare since late September, at M5.0, was detected. The event, which began around midday Moscow time, was accompanied by the formation of a large mass ejection.
On the night of November 2, a solar flare measuring M1.0 (strong) on ​​the five-level scale was observed on the eastern edge of the Sun. It lasted from 3:26 AM Moscow time to 3:37 AM Moscow time. The previous day, active solar region 4246 had fully emerged onto the visible side of the Sun. According to scientists, flares from this region could impact Earth.
