We’ve had 2 X class solar flares in the last 2 days.
The flare yesterday happened towards the end of our net and shut us down. My last reception was at 1217 Z. Flare peaked at 12/18
Z.
Sunspot region 3842 is on fire! This region is in a perfect
earth-facing position and yesterday produced the strongest
solar flare of the current solar cycle! It was an X9.05 solar flare
(R3-strong) that peaked at 12:18 UTC. This is ¨nfact the strongest
solar flare in 7 years.
