Scientists warned about a powerful solar flare on November 9

Scientists have warned of a possible powerful solar flare of the highest X-class on November 9.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to the Telegram channel of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the current intensity of flare activity may not be sufficient for the complete release of the accumulated energy. At the same time, a steady series of M-class flares has been observed for the second day in a row.

"If this is the case, then theoretically the first highest X-class event could occur today. Given the current position of the explosion source directly opposite Earth, this could be unpleasant," the laboratory's statement said.
