A powerful flare occurred on the Sun: scientists assessed its impact on Earth

Last night, astronomers recorded an impressive X1.9 class flare on the Sun's surface. This phenomenon ranked third in intensity among solar events of 2025.

The source of the powerful energy release was active region No. 4114, which has repeatedly shown activity throughout June. According to the international classification, the flare received a high X1.9 rating, indicating its significant strength.

Despite its impressive power and location near the Sun-Earth line, scientists note an interesting feature of this event. The ejected clouds of solar plasma moved not toward our planet, but in the direction of the northern pole of the solar system, which excluded any noticeable impact on Earth.

"This presents a certain puzzle, but is probably related to some peculiarities in the configuration of the active center. Apparently, there are factors on the Sun that physically block the plasma from moving in a direct direction (toward Earth)," explain laboratory specialists.

Space coronagraphs confirmed that even with such significant flare energy, the plasma again deviated in the northern direction. Researchers suggest that further analysis using mathematical models may reveal the movement of weak plasma components toward Earth, however, their potential influence will be short-term and insignificant.

It is important to note that after the flare, no influx of heavy charged particles capable of disrupting spacecraft operations was registered at Earth, which further confirms the absence of threat to our planet.
