Four major explosions in a row on the Sun

The Sun recently released four powerful solar flares, initiating a period of intense activity in space weather. The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center announced that the impact of these flares on Earth may be felt in the coming days.
Elchi.az reports that the process began on February 1 at 12:33 UTC with an X1.0 class flare. Approximately 11 hours later, at 23:37, another massive flare of X8.1 magnitude occurred.
Activity continued on February 2, with two more flares recorded at magnitudes of X2.8 and X1.6, respectively.
X8.1 flare recorded
Among solar flares, “X-class” flares are considered the most powerful class the Sun can produce. The X8.1 flare in the recent event is not only the most powerful event recorded since October 2024, but is also listed as the 19th most powerful flare in recorded history.
All these flares originated from a newly formed sunspot group on the Sun’s surface called “RGN 4366”. The sunspot’s orientation towards Earth increases the likelihood of high-energy particle events and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) in the coming days.
