‘Strongest’ solar flare since 2017 detected
On New Year’s Eve, a substantial solar flare, the most significant in years, was observed on the sun, prompting a cautionary alert for certain high-frequency radio users.
In a recent update on Sunday evening, the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) of NOAA unveiled an image of the flare, manifesting as a sizable, luminous spot on the sun.
This specific solar flare, reaching its peak just before 5 p.m. ET on Sunday, was identified as an X5 flare. NASA categorizes solar flares based on their intensity, similar to earthquake classifications.
The scale progresses from B-class as the lowest, to C-class, M-class, and culminating in X-class. Each letter denotes a tenfold increase in energy output, and within each class, there is a scale ranging from 1 to 9, excluding X-class.
Notably, X-class flares can surpass 9, with the largest on record being an X45 in 2003, The Hill reported.
