Astronomers recorded a flare of the last power class on the Sun on December 8. This was reported by the press service of the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the IKI and ISZF.
A class X flare (exact score of the event — X1.1) was recorded on the Sun at 08:01 Moscow time.
The flare lasted 15 minutes. According to scientists, explosions began on the Sun due to the accumulated energy in the 4294-4296-4298 spot complex. This group became the largest this year.
The explosion occurred in the smallest area of 4298. The remaining two groups (4294 and 4296) are still "silent", but continue to accumulate energy.
Earlier www1.ru reported that two powerful flares occurred on the Sun.
