The Sun has shown the highest level of activity in the last two years

The number of flares that occurred on the Sun in one day set a new two-year record, Earth.uz reported.

This was reported by specialists from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences. According to the data obtained, a total of twenty-two powerful flares of varying intensity were observed on the Sun's surface in one day.

As scientists emphasize, such a high level of activity has not been recorded in the last two years. Specialists are closely monitoring the group of sunspots on the Sun, particularly the largest sunspot group, which is currently considered the most significant in the past decade.

At the same time, this group of sunspots is moving toward the western side of the Sun and is expected to soon move to the part of the Sun not visible from Earth. If the sunspot group maintains its structure, it may again become visible from Earth in the second half of July.

However, experts believe the probability of such an event occurring is currently considered very low. According to the laboratory's conclusions, the increased flow of X-ray radiation observed over the past week is now beginning to gradually subside.

If no new active regions appear unexpectedly on the Sun, the situation is expected to stabilize by mid-week. This would indicate a decline in solar activity and a return to its typical quiet state.

For now, scientists continue to regularly monitor these processes in the solar environment and will provide updates on any potential changes.
