Project\'s diary

On this day 22 years ago, the most powerful solar flare of the 21st century occurred.
This video, unpresentable by today's standards, taken 22 years ago by the European spacecraft SOHO, shows the most powerful solar flare of the first quarter of this century. The event occurred on November 4, 2003, at 10:53 PM Moscow time.
Solar activity continues to increase, but is still occurring at a safe distance from Earth.
The Sun continues to exhibit two large centers of activity emerging onto the side visible from Earth, both of which are returning to the planet again. These groups previously crossed the solar disk in mid-October, after which, due to the Sun's rotation, they moved beyond the right (western) horizon.
Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS survived a solar plasma cloud impact and is now observed near the Sun.
We are publishing a unique video showing the movement of the object 3I/ATLAS near the Sun. We obtained the video using data from the LASCO/C3 coronagraph, a highly sensitive instrument designed specifically to observe faint objects near the solar disk, precisely where 3I/ATLAS, which arrived from other stars, is currently hiding from observation.
