On Sunday, a powerful solar flare was recorded on the Sun and aimed at Earth. The space agency warned of a strong solar storm. This is reported by UNN with reference to the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center and ESA.
Details
A large, long-lasting flare with an intensity of X1.7 occurred on the Sun.
Active region 4274, located near the central disk, produced a flare of magnitude X1.7 (R3 Strong on the NOAA scale) at approximately 09/07:35 UTC. The flare was accompanied by several distinct radio bursts and surges characteristic of flares of this magnitude.
According to the official statement, further analysis of potential coronal mass ejection explosions (CME) will be conducted once images become available.
Strong geomagnetic storm
The European Space Agency (ESA) had previously issued a warning after detecting a powerful solar storm hitting Earth early on Sunday, June 1.
The phenomenon reached level G4 on the geomagnetic storm scale and could have serious impacts on various infrastructure facilities around the world.
Meteorologists are currently continuing to monitor the situation for further outbreaks and possible CME activity.

Astronomers have recorded the brightest flare in history caused by the absorption of a star by a supermassive black hole. This event, 10 trillion times brighter than the Sun, occurred 11 billion light-years from Earth.
