“Solar flares are powerful bursts of electromagnetic radiation that blast from the surface of the sun. They're categorized by strength into lettered groups, with X-class being the most powerful. Within each class, numbers from 1-10 (and beyond for X-class flares) describe a flare's relative strength. Friday's and today's big flares clocked in at X1.18 and X1.43, respectively” https://lnkd.in/gPn6K5Mm
