[Regnum] The Sun is experiencing one of the strongest bursts of activity this year. Two powerful flares were registered on the morning of December 30, the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported.
It is noted that two flares of the highest X-ray class occurred on the Sun at 7:14 and 7:31 Moscow time. The explosions were observed in the western part of the solar disk, in a zone that does not exclude an impact on the Earth.
"Overall, the Sun is registering one of the strongest bursts of activity this year. The previous two bursts were observed in May and October," the scientific organization said in a statement on its website.
Solar mass ejections will likely reach Earth in the middle of the day on December 31 and cause auroras. The closer to evening the main plasma masses arrive, the higher the chances that the European part of Russia will fall into the polar oval, the laboratory added.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, a powerful X-class solar flare was recorded on the morning of December 29. The event began at 10:08 Moscow time and lasted for about half an hour, with the peak radiation observed at 10:18 Moscow time. Scientists explained that they had been observing an increase in solar activity for about a week. During this time, the number of solar flares has almost doubled, but now they have reached their highest level.
