The first disturbances from a new surge in solar activity will reach Earth on Thursday
The first disturbances from the surge in solar activity that began several days ago should begin reaching Earth tomorrow. Despite the exceptionally high level of activity (in the first three days of February alone, five X-class solar flares and about 50 M-class solar flares were recorded), magnetic storms are still expected to be weak.
The sun is waiting for black swans
The solar opera, drama, tragedy, or comedy of early February (let everyone decide for themselves) is entering its climax. From today until mid-Friday, February 6, the active center will be in the direct impact zone on Earth.
AT THE CURRENT MOMENT - regarding the X8.1 flare and the general situation on the Sun
We are publishing current information on the event that occurred.
The Sun is experiencing an X8.1-level flare, the third most powerful in the current cycle
An X8.1 level flare occurred on the Sun
17 strong solar flares occurred in one day
Over the past 24 hours (Moscow time), 17 strong flares—level M and higher—were recorded. Over the past decade, since January 1, 2015, only one day has been found with a greater number of events—December 29, 2024. The second-highest number of events in the decade is now February 1, 2026—the day just ended.
A major X-level flare occurred on the Sun
The second highest-class X solar flare has been recorded this year. The previous event was observed on January 18th. The flare's magnitude was X1.04.
Strong solar flares have resumed
Following yesterday's unexpected resumption of solar activity, the Sun experienced its first strong M-level flares since January 21st. These are events that immediately precede the highest X-level flares. Three such flares were already recorded between 5 and 8 a.m. Moscow time.
The Sun is experiencing a rapid increase in activity
The Sun is undergoing some dramatic changes. At the northeastern edge of the star, where there were almost no spots this morning, a new large active region is rapidly forming.
Instead of the expected giant active centers on the other side of the Sun, only debris appeared
The anticipation of the large active regions that six days ago, on January 24, produced a powerful double (or even triple) explosion on the far side of the Sun proved rather disappointing. On the left side of the Sun, where, according to forecasts, energetic, enormous sunspot groups were expected to appear, pitiful debris emerged from the horizon toward Earth. Apparently, the large active centers that once existed there had almost completely disintegrated in less than a week.
Double explosion detected on far side of Sun
A very large double explosion on the far side of the Sun was detected last night. There are still no satellites on the far side, and one can only guess what happened there.
