Overview
- The Laboratory of Solar Astronomy at Russia’s Institute of Space Research reported that one flare exceeded the X-class threshold and its measured intensity was still rising.
- More than ten flares were recorded on the Sun within 24 hours, signaling a period of heightened solar activity.
- The laboratory’s forecast projects moderate geomagnetic effects with a peak expected on Nov. 11 and the potential for low-level storms.
- Researchers said geomagnetic conditions were calm at the time of reporting and issued public alerts on Telegram warning of likely additional strong flares.
- Possible impacts include disruptions to power, navigation, and satellite operations and broader auroral displays, with any effects on human health remaining unclear.
