Astronomers have reported an unexpected strong flare on the Sun.
It was recorded around midnight, despite the general downward trend in activity, explained the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
"It was followed by a series of lower category C eruptions," the experts noted. They noted that currently the energy reserve for new powerful emissions on the Sun is largely exhausted, and in its active regions the process of disintegration of sunspots continues. The star's dynamics may drop to zero by the end of this week, as the only active region gradually recedes to the far side of the Sun.
