| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The most powerful flare since June occurred on the Sun. This was reported on August 25 on its website by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The flare power was M4.6. The maximum radiation occurred at 8:24 Moscow time. Scientists note that the event occurred against the background of a sharp increase in solar activity, which is associated with the emergence of several large active centers on the visible side of the solar disk. Last week, on August 18–24, they produced several significant plasma emissions while still on the far side of the star. For now, these areas are far from the vectors directed toward Earth and should not pose risks to the planet, the scientists noted. "But the very fact that the centers of activity retain energy to generate the strongest explosions in months is disturbing," the report said. According to preliminary calculations, the solar centers will be in the zone of influence on the Earth from the second half of the day on August 26, however, very large plasma emissions with large angular dimensions may begin to affect the planet as early as August 25. On August 22, the second flare of the penultimate power class occurred on the Sun in 24 hours. In addition, a weak flare of level C1.2 was registered in the morning of the same day. |
