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 first CME scheduled to reach our planet on New Year's Eve is likely associated with a recent M2 solar flare. The CME left the sun on Sunday at 1 a.m. ET, according to SpaceWeatherLive .
Solar flares erupted 21-22 Feb. Seen here from GOES-16; an R3 flare in the NE, followed by an R1 from beyond the SE limb, and another R3 event from the NE again.
The solar storms of May 2024 (also known as 2024 Mother's Day solar storm [1] or Gannon storm in memory of Jennifer Gannon, [2] a space weather physicist [3]) were a series of powerful solar storms with extreme solar flares and geomagnetic storm components that occurred from 10–13 May 2024 during solar cycle 25.
The Sun has unleashed a powerful solar flare, Nasa has said. The flare, designated X2.3, belongs to the most intense X class of flares. ... USA TODAY Sports. NFL free agent QB best fits: Top ...
