[Regnum] Scientists have recorded a solar flare of the penultimate M class in terms of power. This was reported on the website of the Fyodorov Institute of Applied Geophysics.

“On March 11 at 15:04 Moscow time, a flare M1.1 (N05W46) lasting 3 minutes was registered in the X-ray range,” the report says.

Solar flares are divided into five classes depending on the power of X-ray radiation: A, B, C, M and X. When moving to the next letter, the power increases by 10 times. Solar activity can also lead to magnetic storms on Earth, the last time it was recorded was on March 4. The phenomenon was observed for two days.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on March 5, scientists from the Institute of Applied Geophysics (IPG) recorded a powerful M-class solar flare that lasted for nine minutes. It was noted that the solar activity was assessed by scientists as moderate.

Earlier, on February 28, the Sun ejected its largest plasma cloud since the beginning of the year. It occurred on the side opposite to Earth, and therefore did not pose a threat to the planet.
