Magnetic storms can cover the Earth for a whole week As reported by the Solar Energy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, flare activity on the Sun has been increasing since yesterday evening. The index jumped from 2 to 5 points within a day and remained in the orange zone. At the same time, flare activity began in the M3.6 event, which became the strongest since October 10. This flare was observed in Sunspot Group 4566, which is currently the largest on the Sun. But today the flares are coming from behind the sun's eastern horizon, from where another group seems to be coming out. "Two large active regions at the same time can seriously increase solar activity, and the first half of the coming week may turn out to be significantly more interesting than expected," experts note. The laboratory recalls that the upcoming magnetic storms should start at night from Friday to Saturday, their early level is estimated as G1 (weak). But interruptions can last 5-7 days; We expect the next storms on November 8th.
