These were M-class solar flares.
In the sunspot AR3213, which has a gigantic size, another X1.1 class solar flare occurred. This event was recorded by the instruments of the SDO spacecraft.
About it writes HiTech.
As a result of this event, a stream of solar particles flew towards the Earth, which led to a radio outage for an hour in the region of South America.
Earlier this week, the Earth-facing sunspot AR3213, ten times the size of our planet, experienced a series of intense flares. These were M-class solar flares, which are much weaker than X-class flares.
The huge sunspot continues to show signs of strong activity, and even more powerful flares may appear in the coming days, which may be accompanied by coronal mass ejections.
A new outbreak confirms scientists’ predictions that the Sun is becoming more active.
Previously, it was reported that In February 2023, magnetic storms of strong and medium power are expected.
