Scientists have recorded an average solar flare

An outbreak of M1.1 level was recorded on the Sun, which occurred around 16:00 Moscow time. This was announced on March 11 at the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the IKI and the ISSF.

According to scientists, the flare lasted about three minutes and was not accompanied by a mass ejection, and its location on the edge of the solar disk excludes any impact on the Earth.

"Since the beginning of the current year, 2025, 98 events of this level and above have been registered on the Sun, and in the past year, 2024, there were about 1,000 of them," the report says.

Earlier, on March 9, it was reported that there was a noticeable deterioration in the geomagnetic situation. The reason for this is the coronal hole in the Sun. There are currently three holes on the star, which are in the process of destruction, but retain the possibility of influencing the Earth.

Prior to that, on February 14, two powerful flares of the penultimate power class occurred on the Sun. Flares are accompanied by solar plasma emissions, reaching the Earth, they can provoke magnetic storms, the Institute of Applied Geophysics (FSBI "IPG") reported.
