An X2.7 flare was recorded on the Sun. This is evidenced by data from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the IKI and ISZF.
The X2.7 flare was recorded in the X-ray range in spot group 4087 (N16E65) on May 14. It began at 11:16 (Moscow time) and lasted 32 minutes.
The ejection after the flare, as far as one can understand, did occur, and a rather large one, visible even without coronagraphs, but it is not yet possible to predict the direction of movement of the substance. This is determined not even by where the plasma flew first, but by where the lines of the global magnetic field of the Sun will eventually lead it.
The most powerful class X flare became the second in the last 24 hours. Yesterday, scientists observed another similar solar disturbance, which was recorded in the evening.
After a long lull, disturbances on the Sun are gaining momentum. The flare that occurred on May 13 entailed an increase in the flow of charged particles observed near the Earth's orbit, they increased 50 times. This may affect the operation of spacecraft, as well as cause magnetic storms on Earth.
