On the night of May 25, a powerful solar flare of class X1.1 was recorded on the surface of the Sun. This was reported by the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy, citing data from the SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory) satellite observatory.
According to scientists, the main phase of the flare lasted 17 minutes. In addition, two additional M-class flares occurred in the same active region of the Sun, which are considered less powerful.
"A burst of radiation was recorded in the western hemisphere of the Sun. It is possible that this region could have an impact on the Earth, but at the moment, no coronal mass ejections are observed – the main factor causing magnetic storms," the experts clarified.
Also, no increase in the density of heavy charged particles near the Earth's orbit was registered, which excludes a direct threat to spacecraft.
However, according to the Laboratory, activity remains in the outbreak area. New outbreaks are not excluded within the next 24 hours.
