2024-06-04 |
[ScienceAlert] AR 3664, responsible for several X-class flares, including the most powerful of the current solar cycle, rotated away from view onto the far side of the Sun in the middle of May. We couldn't see it as it made its way around, but then it re-emerged in style. As it made its way back around the Sun's horizon with a brand new name; AR 3697; on 27 May, the sunspot erupted with another powerful X-class flare, this time an X 2.8.... the chance for more X-class flares is high, at around 30 percent, according to Spaceweatherlive.
