| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Scientists have registered a powerful solar flare, the Institute of Applied Geophysics reported on November 10. The flash's power was in the M class range, but close to the highest class (X), and its duration was 31 minutes, the institute told TASS. “On November 10 at 15:06 Moscow time, an M9.5 flare lasting 31 minutes was recorded in the X-ray range in the sunspot group 3889 (S07E26),” the report says. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on November 6, the Institute of Applied Geophysics reported that scientists had registered the second highest class X flare on the Sun since the beginning of the month. Its duration was 32 minutes. On October 9, a level X flare also occurred on the Sun. It caused a plasma ejection towards the Earth and a magnetic storm. As scientists noted, the plasma was ejected exactly along the Sun-Earth line, and the geometric dimensions of the ejection exceeded possible calculation errors. On October 28, a plasma cloud with a speed of about 600 km/s and a temperature of about 700 thousand degrees reached the Earth. Two active spots 3842 and 3848 are located on the side of the Sun visible from the Earth. They caused powerful magnetic storms at the beginning of the month.
