[Regnum] One of the most powerful solar activity outbursts since the turn of the century has suddenly ended, surprising scientists. The Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported this on February 7.
"The active region 4366, which was raging opposite the Earth and was just one event away from repeating the current century's record for the number of strong flares and two events away from breaking it, simply stopped producing flares," the laboratory's Telegram channel reported.
On February 4th and 5th alone, 11 high-level solar processes were recorded, but by yesterday evening, everything had ceased. Researchers compared it to someone flipping a switch and turning off the activity. However, fears of a plasma cloud ejected toward Earth were unfounded.
Scientists expect the Sun to soon enter a period of stabilization. It's difficult to predict how long this will last. Region 4366 will remain visible from Earth for another five days, so it remains theoretically possible that this region could yet break the century's record.
Scientists observed the most intense solar activity of the 21st century in May 2024. This resulted in a plasma cloud covering the Earth, triggering the first major magnetic storm in 20 years.
