May 2024 solar storms: X1.2(X1.3)-class flares [93] and X4.5-class flare. [94] The flares with a magnitude of 6–7 occurred between 30 April and 4 May 2024. On 5 May the strength of the solar storm reached 5 points, which is considered strong according to the K-index. The rapidly growing sunspot AR3663 became the most active spot of the 25th ...
The geomagnetic storm causing this event is believed to be the result of two separate events known as coronal mass ejections (CME) on March 10 and 12, 1989. [2] A few days before, on March 6, a very large X15-class solar flare also occurred. [3] Several days later, at 01:27 UT on March 13, a severe geomagnetic storm struck Earth.
Here's a list of the March holidays and observances to know about in 2024. St. Patrick's Day, World Compliment Day, and more make it on this list.

It's the biggest flare of this 11-year solar cycle, which is approaching its peak, according to NOAA. The sun produced its biggest flare in nearly a decade Tuesday, just days after severe solar ...
Solar cycle 10 was the tenth solar cycle since 1755, when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began. [1] [2] The solar cycle lasted 11.3 years, beginning in December 1855 and ending in March 1867. The maximum smoothed sunspot number observed during the solar cycle was 186.2 (February 1860), and the starting minimum was 6.0. [3]
