The strongest class X solar flare recorded on the Sun

On December 1, the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences recorded a powerful X-class flare on the Sun. According to the report, the X1.9 explosion occurred last night at 7:49 Tashkent time. This flare occurred in the region of star number 4274, demonstrating the strongest solar activity observed in two months.

This region was the site of 5 Class X explosions in early November, two of which were recorded as the largest explosions of the year. After completing the Sun's rotation, this region approached Earth and continued its high activity.

Also, active zone number 4294 is again observed in the southern hemisphere of the Sun, which could make December one of the months with the highest solar activity.

Currently, plasma waste does not affect the Earth, but scientists do not rule out its impact on the magnetosphere until December 4.
