Major Flare Strongest Solar Flare Of Solar Cycle 25

A major solar flare measuring X6. 3 was detected around active sunspot region 3590 at 22:34 UTC (Feb. 22). This is the strongest flare of Solar Cycle 25, and the third Xflare the sunspot has produced in a 24 hour period. Interestingly, neither explosion lifted a CME out of the sun s atmosphere. This means the triple Xflares will NOT cause any geomagnetic storms on Earth. AR3590 has an unstable betagammadelta magnetic field that harbors energy for additional Xclass explosions. R3 (Strong) Radio Blackout Extreme ultraviolet radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth s atmosphere causing a shortwave radio blackout over Australia, New Zealand, West USA, Hawaii, Micronesia, SE Pacific, and Polynesia.
