[Regnum] One of the strongest solar activity outbursts of 2026 has ended. This was announced on July 7 by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.



It followed a mild scenario. Only two outbreaks received the maximum score.

"One of the strongest solar activity surges this year, observed in late June and early July 2026, has ended," the laboratory said in a statement on its Telegram channel.

The increase in activity was caused by the formation of two large sunspot groups on the Sun. Because of them, the star broke a two-year record for the number of flares in a single day on July 5.

Earlier, on July 4, the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences recorded a strong magnetic storm of G3 level on Earth, which became the second most powerful since the beginning of the year.
