According to RCO News Agency, quoted by Space, this is probably the last big solar flare of 2024. The solar flare from the northwest region of the Sun, which is facing the Earth, was released at 7:18 GMT yesterday and led to the disruption of radio signals in parts of the Earth.
Officials of the Space Weather Prediction Center of the US NOAA organization announced in this regard: Analyzes are being conducted to determine whether this event is related to the mass ejection from the solar corona (CME) and what possible effects it had.
The outflow of mass from the solar corona is in fact a massive eruption of solar material, which if thrown towards the earth, will cause more aurora and interference in the satellite infrastructure and electricity of the terrestrial planet.
The US Space Weather Forecast Agency tracks the effects of solar flares to track the event that accompanies a CME.
Although the X1.1 solar flare is considered one of the most powerful types of solar flares, it was not the largest example of 2024. The largest solar flare occurred on October 3rd and was class X9. This is the third largest solar flare since 2011 and the fifth largest since 2005.
