| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] On December 8, two high-class X and M flares occurred on the Sun. This was reported by the solar activity monitoring center. On December 8, scientists recorded two high-class M and X flares on the Sun “At 01:15 Moscow time, an M3.2 flare lasting 13 minutes was recorded in the X-ray range in the sunspot group 3917 (S07E27),” the center told TASS. According to the IKI and ISTP solar astronomy laboratory, another X2.3 flare was registered in the X-ray range at 12:06 Moscow time. Its duration was 20 minutes. A total of eight solar flares were recorded on December 8. Most of them were of the middle class C. The day before, 22 flares occurred on the star. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on November 10, scientists registered a powerful solar flare - in the M class range, but close to the highest class (X), lasting 31 minutes. On November 6, the Institute of Applied Geophysics reported that scientists had registered the second highest-class X flare on the Sun since the beginning of the month. Its duration was 32 minutes. In early October, a level X flare occurred on the Sun, which caused a plasma ejection towards the Earth and a magnetic storm. According to scientists, this occurred exactly along the Sun-Earth line, and the geometric dimensions of the ejection exceeded possible calculation errors. According to the forecast of the solar astronomy laboratory of IKI and ISTP, in December the Earth's magnetosphere will be in a calm state almost until the end of the year.
