Two flares of the penultimate power class M were recorded on the Sun on Monday morning. This was reported by the press service of the Institute of Applied Geophysics (FSBI "IPG").
On February 24 at 04:46 Moscow time, an M1.1 flare with a duration of 22 minutes was recorded in the X-ray range in spot group 4001 (N25W86), at 10:02 Moscow time, an M3.3 flare with a duration of 15 minutes was recorded in the X-ray range in spot group 4000 (N16W20).
Recently, solar flares have been observed daily. This is due to the star's approach to the expected maximum of its activity, which is expected between 2024 and 2026.
After reaching this peak, solar activity will "calm down" a bit. This process is cyclical and lasts about 11 years.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the most powerful flare of the penultimate class occurred on the Sun.
