"Powerful Solar Flare Detected"

The Institute of Applied Geophysics in Moscow has reported the observation of a powerful solar flare that occurred today, Monday. The report stated: "On Monday, July 29, at 05:37 Moscow time, a solar flare of level X1.5 was detected in sunspot region 3764 (S05W04), lasting for 10 minutes." The report noted that today's flare is the third powerful solar flare of level "X" observed on the sun this month, following an X1.2 flare on July 14 and an X1.9 flare on July 16. Last week, scientists at the institute also observed several M-class solar flares and indicated that two of them caused disruptions to certain high-frequency wireless communication services on Earth. Solar flares are classified into five categories based on the intensity of emitted X-rays, ranked from weakest to strongest: A, B, C, M, and X. These flares can lead to magnetic storms that affect Earth, causing disruptions in energy systems and impacting the migration paths of birds and animals. Moreover, strong magnetic storms can disrupt communication and navigation systems.
