A powerful flare was recorded on the Sun

Scientists from the Institute of Applied Geophysics recorded an M6.4 class solar flare on the Sun. This was reported to TASS by representatives of the institute.

According to scientists, the flare occurred on September 28 at 12:40 Baku time and belongs to the second-highest power level.

Specialists reminded that solar flares are classified into five levels - from A to X, where each subsequent class is ten times stronger than the previous one. Such phenomena can be accompanied by plasma ejections, which, upon reaching Earth, can cause magnetic storms.

The day before, the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy at the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported that the geomagnetic situation remains calm and stable so far, while the activity of flares on the Sun is significantly increased. According to scientists, the "flare activity" on the Sun in the next 24 hours is not just increased, but has a tendency to grow.
