[Regnum] Scientists registered five powerful solar flares on August 14, one of them was of the highest class X, the Institute of Applied Geophysics (FGBU "IPG") reported.

“On August 14 at 09:40 Moscow time, an X1.1 flare lasting 58 minutes was recorded in the X-ray range in the sunspot group 3784 (N13E04),” the institute reported.

It is noted that the powerful flash was accompanied by a disruption of HF radio communications.

Also, flares of M1.3, M1.2, M4.2 and M4.4 were registered on the Sun, the first of which occurred on August 14 at 01:45 Moscow time.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on August 6, two powerful flares of the highest class occurred on the Sun, preceded by a series of medium explosions, the Solar Astronomy Laboratory reported. Both explosions were recorded at the edge of the solar disk. The Sun, apparently, is entering a continuous activity mode, the experts noted.

On the night of July 8, scientists registered five strong solar flares. One of them (flare M1.5) occurred at 00:59 Moscow time and lasted 10 minutes. At 02:23 Moscow time, a flare M1.0 occurred lasting 18 minutes. In the southern hemisphere on the eastern limb, scientists also registered flares M2.5, M1.1 and M1.3.

#2  I’m very sorry, Raj — my mother took her final breath last Thursday. Yesterday we buried her in Buffalo, next to my father.

Apparently I missed something critical while dealing with my own life, because I have no idea what you're talking about.
