Now that’s a REAL #SolarFlare ! After posting about how the recent X1 flares wouldn’t have been considered so under the previous solar cycle, last night the Sun produced an unambiguously large event, clocking in at X4.4. This makes it the 3rd largest flare since 2017! #astronomy
There are incredible images being shared from across Europe right now of the #Auroraborealis .
This is why.
This is one of the monster X-class flares that has erupted from a large sunspot cluster over the past 24 hours or so.

The Sun has been popping off multiple solar flares this week, including two X-class events (the highest flare category) over the past day. This movie shows these two flares, observed in ultraviolet light by the Solar Dynamics Observatory. #spaceweather

In addition to the large sunspot group and numerous solar flares, these two large prominences (over the Sun’s edge) have been stunning to watch too, even through amateur H-alpha telescopes. One of these broke apart last night, seen here in GOES/SUVI data #spaceweather #astronomy
