The Sun has a flare of the maximum class X1. 0, reported in the Laboratory of X-ray Astronomy of the Sun of the Physics Institute of the Academy of Sciences.

According to scientists, the process of strong X-ray radiation from the sun began on October 28 at 18:17 (Kyiv time) and lasted 31 minutes.

Over the past two days, 28 weak, medium and strong flares have occurred on the Sun, noted in the RAS.

During flares, coronal matter is ejected from the surface of the star.. Depending on the trajectory of the flare, the plasma cloud can cover the Earth or pass by.

In mid-September, American and European scientists reported that they had identified two previously unknown solar superflares, which they claim to have occurred in 7176 and 5259 BC.. According to scientists, then superflares did not have a noticeable effect on the Earth..
