[HIGHLIGHTS] Two new flares have occurred on the Sun

Two flares of the highest class X have been recorded on the Sun. The previous class X outbreak was noted on February 16.

The level of influence of solar X-ray bursts on the Earth’s ionosphere was at level R3 (“strong”) on a scale of five indicators. The head of the Space Weather Forecast Center, leading researcher at the IZMIRAN Cosmic Ray Laboratory and Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Artyom Abunin said a new solar flare will not cause a magnetic storm.
