Twelve solar flares will affect Earth in two days
In May, a large number of C-class solar flares occurred on the Sun. Today alone, 12 different solar flares were recorded, of which the Laboratory for Solar Astronomy of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences is particularly impressed with the last one.
TL;DR
- 12 solar flares were recorded on the Sun today, with many C-class flares occurring in May.
- A significant M5.7 solar flare erupted from a new active region (4436) on the far side of the Sun.
- The plasma from this flare will not directly affect Earth.
- The sunspot group associated with the flare will enter Earth's zone of influence within two days.
