Seven powerful flares occurred on the Sun

Seven flares of the second-highest power class occurred on the Sun on February 3, as reported by the Institute of Applied Geophysics.

As reported by Baku.ws, citing TASS, the strongest flare was recorded at 7:00 Moscow time (8:00 Baku time) and lasted for 12 minutes.

According to the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the flare activity index currently reaches 8.7 out of 10 possible.

Scientists warn that there remains a high probability of X-class flares - the most powerful solar emissions that can affect radio communications, navigation systems, and cause magnetic storms on Earth - over the next two days.
