Мощнейшая вспышка с июня 2025 года зафиксирована на Солнце

Radiation reached its maximum at 08:24 Moscow time

The most powerful flare since June 20, 2025, has been recorded on the Sun. The maximum radiation was recorded at 08:24 Moscow time, according to the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The event is classified as M4.6 on the five-point flare scale and is associated with the appearance of several large active centers on the visible side of the solar disk. Last week, these same zones, located on the far side of the Sun, caused powerful plasma ejections directed towards Mars.

Currently, the active regions are far from the direction to Earth, so there are no direct threats to the planet. However, the preservation of energy in these centers indicates the potential for new strong flares.

According to preliminary calculations, the active zones will approach the direction to Earth in the second half of August 26, and large plasma ejections with large angular sizes may begin to touch the Earth's edge as early as August 25.
