The Laboratory of Solar Astronomy at the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences has announced a significant solar flare that transpired on the night of October 14. This event marks a notable period of solar activity.
Data published on the Laboratory`s official website indicates that the flare, classified as M2.0, occurred precisely at 3:41 AM Moscow time on October 14. This classification denotes a medium-sized flare, capable of causing brief radio blackouts and minor radiation storms on Earth.
Prior to this M2.0 event, the Sun had already produced four less intense C-class flares earlier in the day, signalling an increasingly active solar environment.
The preceding day also saw considerable solar unrest, with astronomers recording 20 C-class flares and three other powerful M-class flares. The most energetic among these reached an M2.7 classification, just slightly stronger than the latest event, highlighting a sustained period of elevated solar emissions.
