Yarilo is angry: scientists recorded a powerful M4.52-class flare on the Sun

The highest class X flare is expected within 24 hours

The Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences registered a new flare of the penultimate power class on the Sun on Tuesday.

The event occurred at 08:25 Moscow time. Experts estimated the flare's power at M4.52 on the X-ray scale.

Scientists note the increase in solar activity overnight. The Sun repeated a two-month flare record.

Experts predict the possibility of a higher class X flare within 24 hours. Active centers have moved 50 degrees from the Sun-Earth line. This angle of displacement is still considered safe, but with a smaller margin of safety.

Earlier, the IPG reported on M3.3 and M1.3 flares that occurred on the night of Tuesday.
