The flare occurred on October 25 caused a strong magnetic storm on Earth yesterday. The flares recorded in the past two days were not Earth-directed.
“On October 25 two flares were recorded. X1 flare – the strongest one began at 01:07 am and ended at 01:41 am. This storm caused magnetic storms on Earth on October 28. X1 flare began at 20:55 pm and was over by 21:08 pm. On October 26, X2 flare began at 14:04 pm and ended at 14:46 pm,” he noted.
Jalilov said that no significant coronal mass ejections were observed.
